Ski Red Mountain - 8 Indelible Secrets To Save You Money
Doubtless, you're headed to Red Mountain ski area for the bountiful powder, wide terrain and supple slopes, spread over 83 runs across two stellar mountains, featuring everything from wide-open groomers to steep, powder-filled bowls.
But the burning question still remains… how much will it cost?
If you've got your mind on your budget, here are 8 secrets for avoiding unnecessary expenses, so you can spend more time doing what you want… like skiing Red.
Tip #1 - Book Your Flight Early
Start scouring the web for the best deal on your flight the minute you've picked your dates. Contrary to the myth that last minute scoops are the way to go, the sooner you book your flight the better. It's always better to book as early as possible. Also be sure to keep an eye out for mid-week flights, as they can further reduce your cost.
Tip #2 - Book Your Red Mountain Ski Accommodation Owner Direct
Head to AlluraDirect.com and browse their Red Mountain Ski Resort property listings. It's there you'll find the best accommodation deals, since you're booking direct with the owner. Crippling middle-agent fees and service charges are avoided, while you can stay in a fully furnished, cozy ski condo, with all the amenities included.
Tip #3 - Invite More Friends And Split the Cost
Many hotels promote a per-person rate, rather than the amount you'll pay for an entire room. In contrast, booking your Red Mountain Ski Resort property owner-direct means you pay a single rate for the whole thing. So the more friends you invite (up to the properties maximum capacity) the lower you each have to pay!
Tip #4 - Bring along the Scrabble Board
Whether shopping, eating, or a night on the town, all your activities in Red Mountain will inflict your budget. Obviously, you want to treat yourself and your family part of the time (after all, you're on vacation). But for those quiet nights when the urge to splurge creeps into your mind, you'll be glad you packed a variety of board games, movies, crayons, and all the rest to keep your kids busy.
Tip #5 Prepare Your Own Meals
Let's face it, eating out is expensive. Factor in a few drinks, maybe a dessert, add the tip, and you're looking at a substantial bill. Consider buying groceries and preparing at least some of your meals in your Red Mountain ski condo. Book your accommodation directly with an owner and have all the culinary tools at your disposable (Note: actual cooking ability not included).
Tip #6 - Kids Under 6 and Seniors Over 75 Ski Free
Who says youth and wisdom aren't worth anything? Red Mountain offers kids under 6 and seniors over 75 a free season's pass for as much skiing and snowboarding they can handle. If you happen to live near the mountain and you're lucky enough to fall under one of these categories, make sure to claim your discount when ordering lift tickets.
Tip #7 - Take Ski or Snowboard Lessons
Signing up for ski or snowboard lessons will often get you a price break on lift tickets and equipment rentals. You'll benefit from a brush up on your skills and save a little money, rather than purchasing the lift ticket and equipment rental separately.
Tip #8 Look for Discounts in Tourist Brochures & Flyers
While strolling the streets and browsing the shops in Red Mountain Ski Resort, keep an eye out for tourist guides and promotional maps that often include discount coupons for various activities and restaurants. By the end of your trip, you could end up saving a significant amount.
