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.

money by purchasing handwarmers and footwarmers in bulk for less than $1 per warmer #paidLink

WinterKids
Families in Maine should definitely look into obtaining a WinterKids
membership, which will be available for the 2024-25 season on October 1. Last year, a $40 membership fee covered a family of 5, and most Maine alpine
areas are offering a
free junior lift ticket with a paying adult. WinterKids also
sponsored family days
where app members received lift ticket deals for the entire family. The app
also offers discounts for many other winter activities including cross
country skiing and ice skating centers. Keep an eye on the WinterKids App page at their website for new year plan information.
