Deer Valley Season Ticket Costs 5% more this Year
I just received an email, probably like most of you, telling me that I could buy a Deer Valley lift ticket for $2085. This is up $100 (or 5%) from last year. For reference, Vail’s Epic Pass costs $579 this year. It is up $30 from last year (5.5%). Interesting… didn’t skier days drop last year?
