Ski and Snowboard News, Deals, and Events

Colorado Ski Country USA has earmarked nine resorts - Arapahoe Basin, Echo Mountain, Eldora, Loveland Ski Area, Monarch Mountain, Powderhorn Resort, Ski Cooper, SolVista Basin, and Sunlight Mountain Resort - as its GEMS.

Colorado Ski Country has been offering a GEMS Card for the past decade, which gives access to special deals, discounts, programs, and promotions at the aforementioned resorts.

Some of the deals include $50 off Echo Mountain three packs; two-for-one lift tickets at Monarch Mountain; $10 off any adult lift ticket at Powderhorn Resort; $10 off a midweek adult lift ticket and/or $8 off a weekend adult lift ticket at Ski Cooper; one free lift ticket at SolVista Basin, and two-for-one lift tickets Monday through Thursday at Sunlight Mountain Resort. NB: Most of these offers are subject to blackout dates.

"The GEMS Card is the key that unlocks a treasure trove of valuable offers and deals from our member GEM resorts," says Melanie Mills, president and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA. "For only $10, card holders get one day of free skiing at three of Colorado's classic resorts. That kind of value is hard to come by these days."

Some of the programs that GEMS Card holders can take advantage of include free lift tickets to three GEM resorts, two-for-one lift tickets at four GEM resorts and discounted lift tickets at six GEM resorts.
