Skip School and Still Ski

Just because you don't go to college doesn't mean you have to pay extra to ski. Alta's got a new season pass option for slackers. The Young Adult Pass is $599 if you buy it before September 29. That's $300 less than the regular pass price. The pass is for adults 18-25.
"We are in a unique economic environment where more and more of our college-age skiers are having to work more hours and take fewer classes," said Alta’s Connie Marshall. "The old model of offering an incentive to full-time college students has become impractical." Alta says they want to make sure cash-strapped youth still ski. Alta's college, college spouse, military and senior passes are all $599 before September 29. If you don't fit into any of those categories I suggest marrying a young'n or getting a fake senior ID.
FYI- Park City Mountain Resort also has a College/Youth season pass for $450 for 18-24 year olds.
