I assume its because its the premier area in the US but the California
tickets at the premier spots are still running a little less. Even Copper
and Breckenridge are pretty high .

I have found that high ticket prices keeps the riffraff off the
slopes, except for those who wheedle free passes.

Copper and Breckenridge have some of the lowest lift ticket prices in
the country. A season passes for Breck/Keystone/A-Basin or Copper/
Winter Park are both under $400. And even less if you purchase it in
May.

I don't. They still bring their grungy clothes, and those stupid
boards. Their daddies pay for them.

if you buy on-line 7 days ahead for 4+ days, it is $55 a day. I was
amazed that that have not change rates since 2004. it is not bad.

I was skiing in Aspen for $25 a day two years ago with the group.
