With walk-up lift tickets well over the $100 barrier at the larger ski areas
in Maine, many skiers and riders are looking for lift ticket deals and ways to
buy discounted lift tickets.
With a little planning you don't have to pay the window rate for lift
tickets at Maine ski areas.
If you plan to visit a ski resort more than 6 times you should consider
getting a
season pass. Alternatively, many ski areas offer buy-ahead lift ticket options (further
ahead you buy, the more you save) including ticket packs, partial day lift tickets and discount lift
ticket days where you can save some significant money. And the smaller ski
areas in Maine always offer tremendous value for your outdoor recreation
dollar.
