[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Want to know a real tip if you are just going to ski weekdays and plan ahead?  Go ski at one of the western mountains where kids ski free and buy a weekday pass for the adults when they go on sale in the spring for the next year - the unlimited weekday passes(blacked out for Xmas though) are like 250$.  This is the at a bunch of decent mountains in the SW: purgatory, Bryan head(great for beginners), Arizona snowbowl, copper mountain, etc. if you’re doing a February break trip go to Arizona snowbowl - Arizona schools have March break. You can also go to Sedona from there and flagstaff is very cute with good breweries and restaurants.  [/quote]

I wouldn’t recommend this pass for someone flying in for the winter holidays. For one, the week after Christmas is blacked out for weekday pass holders and the snow can be so iffy at those mountains in December. I’m also not sure the weekday pass gives reciprocal benefits. I think it’s only good at one location. Copper’s not on it at all. They’re also fairly isolated ski hills which may not give the “ski vacation” experience OP is looking for.

Sure, Flagstaff is a fun town, but even if you stay at a Airbnb at the base of the hill, you still need to drive up and park. Staying near snowbowl also makes you 20 minutes from downtown Flagstaff. [/quote]
