Costco Ski Deals?

[eblend]

Hi guys,

Been a frequent Ski Louise card purchaser, but this year want to try something different, and probably can only go out once or twice max. I never really looked but I know Costco sells discounted passes. Anyone know of the deals right now? Their website only shows distant resorts for some reason. Anyone know? Sunshine or Louise is good, or even Nakiska.
Don't want to drive all the way over there just to check on it.


Thanks!

$216.99 for 3 passes to Sunshine. I believe LL is +/- $10.

If you can go on Jan 9, there is a deal for $15 ski passes at Nakiska

Another handy tip if you like skiing partial days is the "pay by the hour" system at norquay. As far as I know, its the only place that you can do a partial day in the morning.

Or just buy the used sunshine or Louise cards starting in February on kijiji.

People at Costco actually answer the phone and are willing to tell you prices and info about what they carry. So don't be shy and give them a call. Sunshine passes are 216, and there's about 5 other ski hill deals there too.

another option for very cheap ski day.

Wow, thanks so much for the heads up. Seeing as how each of these is held on a Wednesday, i wonder how crazy the lines are. Did anyone go for the one on Dec 9?

I think they once did toonie tuesdays/thursdays, or whatever. It wasn't so busy but as a shitty snowboarder, that hill was awful for me; I also hated the winding drive up.
