Vail Resorts: Staying Connected

Filed under: Sports

No more fumbling for your lift ticket when you ski at one of the five Vail Resorts: Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone, and Heavenly. Whether you buy a day or season's pass, your lift ticket is actually a smart card loaded with possibilities. For a start, when you're about to hop on a chair, just point to the pocket where you're keeping your lift ticket and it will be scanned. (It works because radio frequency technology is installed at each of the resort's 89 lifts across five mountains. Radio frequency chips are also embedded in ski passes and lift tickets.) All you have to do to record your activity and connect with friends is ski or snowboard as usual and then use your smart phone or your computer to access the web. Simply log on to the Vail Resorts EpicMix.com and access your account online, Then decide if you want to share your activities with friends on Facebook and Twitter.

Most holiday vacations seem to rank in one of two categories: sunny or snowy. If you're looking to visit the gorgeous Colorado mountains for fresh powder and unbeatable fun but want to save some pennies for extra gifts under the tree than check out this deal from Keystone Resort. Their new Savings is Key value package will reduce the cost of a four-day trip by 20%! This includes 4-nights stay, 4-day ski pass to Keystone, daily ski rentals and transportation to and from the Denver International Airport. Last time I checked a daily ski ticket cost close to $80, not to mention the rest of the package offerings, this sounds like a fantastic deal. If you aren't familiar with this resort check out the gallery below.

The entire package rates start at $665 per person but is subject to black out dates between Dec. 26th and Jan. 3rd. Yet the mountain is expected to be open from early November through at least mid-April so there is plenty of time to breathe some Rocky Mountain air and even experience a little night skiing.
