Terry Peaks' season pass is on sale through the end of the month at half the cost of what it will be Nov. 1. The pass, which offers unlimited skiing – including holidays – throughout the season, is $240 through October. The price goes up to $480 next month.

It also pays to be young or old at the Peaks. A senior season pass is only $10, and the same prices applies for those five and younger. That may be the best senior deal I’ve seen in the Heartland.

Terry Peaks, located in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is the Midwest’s largest ski area with a vertical drop of over 1,100 feet. It’s true mountain skiing with scenery to match. You can call (605) 584-2165 for more details or to place an order.
