How Vail and Alterra Are Destroying Skiing For Many with $300 tickets! It doesn’t have to be this expensive. Come Ski Montana.

November 22, 2025/

Ticket prices up over 250% in a short time is killing the sport except for the very rich. But Montana resorts are keeping prices reasonable, especially if you purchase tickets early or get packages.   Discovery $60, Black Tail $70, Snowbowl $66, Big Sky $114, Whitefish $110, and Bridger $99 are much more reasonable. Come ski at your favorite Montana resort

The real reason skiing sucks now is because two companies—Vail & Alterra—control the entire sport. They’ve jacked up day passes at Park City by 263% since 2011. Now you get packed trails, pricey meals, and an empty wallet… and execs get rich.
