Deer Valley Honored

Alta/Snowbird Ski Deal

This interesting post, The Best Deals for Ski Season 2013-14, has Alta/Snowbird at the top of the list. Here's their introductory paragraph:

Known for epic powder and deliciously long runs, these Utah resorts are also offering out-of-state visitors a killer deal this year: half off lift tickets within 24 hours of arrival at Salt Lake City International Airport. The offer is good throughout the 2013-14 ski season, Monday through Friday, and saves $39.50.
