Can I Afford the Greatest Snow on Earth?

Utah is known for having the greatest snow on earth and I love to ski, but as a college student is it economical to go skiing? Yes, you can still go skiing or snowboarding, you just need to look for the best deals! Here is what I have found in my search for good deals!
The best deal around for a day pass is the BYU promo for Snowbird. At the Marriot Center Ticket Office you can buy a ski pass for 72 dollars for two days of skiing! Now that may seem a little bit pricy, but for those of you who have been to Snowbird, you will know that normally it is 72 dollars for a tram day pass- with the promo ticket it comes out to be 36 dollars for a day! My friends and I bought our two-day passes and we were able to have a great day of skiing! There wasn’t a lot of snow when I went, so I would recommend waiting for another snowstorm so that you can ski in the powder. Regardless of the lack of snow, just getting out of the inversion in the valley and breathing fresh air made the whole trip worth it!
There are also discounted lift tickets at Outdoors Unlimited. For more information you can visit their website at http://outdoors.byu.edu//deals/discount_lift_tickets/. Besides Snowbird the best prices would be to Brighton or Sundance, but I would recommend getting a discounted ticket to save a few dollars!
If you are looking for an even better deal, then I would recommend night skiing. Most of the main resorts, including Brighton, Park City and Sundance, all have night skiing most days of the week. As far as prices go, Sundance and Brighton are the best deals and they have discounted night passes at Outdoors Unlimited. The best price I have found for night skiing is 30 dollars for two nights at Sundance. You can either use this for two nights or two people one night. You can get these tickets at various places, but the closest to BYU would be the Marriot Center.
Skiing may be a bit expensive, but if you look around you can find a way to go without breaking the bank! Utah has the greatest snow on Earth and skiing/snowboarding is a great way to experience it! Remember there is always an adventure waiting for you, so go find it!
