Pay in advance and you save anywhere from 10-30 percent off the regular price of a ticket! Do you have a large party? Try a Whistler chalet or ask about group discounts.
Most resorts offer a pre-paid plan designed to save your family money on multiple days when paid in advance. You should be able buy this directly at the window.
Early and late season breaks
If you're an occasional skier, you always ski cheaper if you head for the slopes either early or late in the season. Every resort's calendar is different. Early season is generally considered opening through late November, and pre-holiday (late November through mid-December).
During the holiday through prime winter season (mid to late February) and into the spring season (February through early April) you can expect to pay full prices.
In the late season (first week of April to closing) prices drop dramatically. So strip off your grubs, kick up your heals and churn some powder at Whistler-Blackcomb this spring.
