[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christmas is expensive everywhere. The best deals we've gotten are when Easter (and spring break) are in mid April and resorts have significantly reduced their prices.

A few options to consider:

Stay in Salt Lake City and drive to different resorts each day. There are at least 8 within about 45 minutes. Nice hotels in Salt Lake can be quite inexpensive. That way you can also book airfare and hotel together on a site like expedia which does tend to save money.

You can do the same thing in Colorado by staying in Dillon/Silverthorne/Frisco and driving to Breck, Keystone or Copper.

Try Tours de Sport for package deals.

Stay at lesser known resorts. Solitude/Brighton in Utah might be worth looking into. [/quote]

I'm not sure why driving to different resorts every day makes sense. In Colorado most resorts charge the most if you're going for just one day. Plus, if you're renting equipment, it's easier to stay in one place. I'd rent a condo in a ski town. They're not all expensive. Then buy your lift tickets online and in advance, and for more than one day, to get the cheapest deal.[/quote]

Of course its easier to stay at the base, but OP asked about doing it affordably. When I was a kid that's what we did. Lots of the areas have common lift tickets (you can get a 4 day epic pass that covers several CO areas). And the ownership of several of the Utah areas has changed this year. Of course the OP can go to the same area every day if she wants.[/quote]
