Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Big Sky is once again offering their Powder Paks and Midweek Sky Cards on sale until Oct. 31. The Powder Pak vouchers, which are transferable, offer a way for individuals, families, or small groups to save a few dollars on the daily lift ticket while the Midweek Sky Card acts as a season pass with limited privileges.

Powder Paks come with ten transferable vouchers that are valid any day of the 2009-10 season. You redeem the vouchers at the ticket window to receive a lift ticket on the day of use. The vouchers grant access to Big Sky Resort lifts only-not the dual mountain ticket that includes Moonlight Basin lifts.

The ten ticket packs cost $700 if purchased by Oct. 31. Daily adult lift tickets cost $79 if purchased at the ticket window, but the Powder Pak rate reduces the cost of a daily lift ticket to $70. The price for Powder Paks bumps ups to $750 after the sale. Powder Paks are limited to two per person or business.

Big Sky's Midweek Sky Cards, which offer 14 early and late season free ski days, plus one day of skiing each week Monday through Thursday throughout the season is also on sale for $425 through the end of October. Midweek Sky Card owners can also purchase lift tickets for Fridays through Sundays for $20 off.

Big Sky plans to open its lifts for this winter starting Nov. 26, weather permitting.
