Why arent there more deals on Liftopia right now?

Well hello there!  Judging by how many of you have been emailing us, and how many searches we are seeing come through on Liftopia.com, we figured it might be good to explain why there are only a handful available right now.
This is a funny time of year for all of us in the ski biz.  The weather changes, the snow starts showing up, and in some cases (like Arapahoe Basin and Loveland), you are already spinning your ski lifts to die hard early season skiers. For Lifotpia, resorts load tickets and prices directly into our system, so we do our best to help them do so as easily as possible.

For many resorts, this is the last period of time that they are deciding on what the ticket prices are going to be for the season.  This makes it especially difficult to come up with the “right” prices to offer at this time of year through Liftopia.  Some resorts (aka, the Colorado Ski Resorts already mentioned), already have some ideas on what their on-mountain prices are, but are very busy making sure their early season customers are happy.  Others, like Alpine Meadows in California (who we just talked with today), still have several weeks before they release their on-mountain tickets.

The good news, is we have talked with many resorts in the past few days, and many more will be loading tickets into Liftopia soon, so keep an eye out!  It has been awesome to see, however, the number of people searching for lift tickets on our site already.  This is the first season ever that Liftopia has sold lift tickets in September, and in the first 5 days of October alone, there were 2,500+ searches for lift ticket deals on our site!
Thanks for your patience while we work with our resort partners to load tickets, and we are just as excited as you are to start our season.  For those of you lucky enough to be in Colorado, have fun out on the slopes!
