Most of us don’t have the luxury of shelling out more than $200 for a weekend lift ticket at the largest resorts across the country. Right?
Thankfully, these 5 resorts/areas offer lift tickets under $100, and provide skiers and riders with 2,500 vertical feet, or more. These are some of the best deals for skiing and riding across the country.

Silverton Mountain, CO

Okay, this one is a bit of a stretch to make the list, but it technically counts. Sure, you can only ski Silverton late-season at this price, but $89 to access one of Colorado’s gems is still quite the steal.
