Save a Buck: Good Deals for Skiers

The older you are, the less it costs to ski. Many ski areas offer a break on lift tickets and season passes to skiers starting at age 60 or 65, and many stop charging altogether at 70. Some let you ski (or snow­board, snowshoe or cross-country) with your peers at a discount.

If you’re 50-plus, Over the Hill Gang Interna­tional offers cut rates at nearly 100 ski areas, both here and abroad. There’s also the 70+ Ski Club—with 4,500 active members, 125 of them over 90—who get special privileges worldwide.
