What’s more romantic than cozy fires at night and fresh powder during the day? Treat your Valentine to a romantic winter weekend getaway. Not only will your sweetie love that you planned a special vacation, but they’ll appreciate that you were able to cut costs on this winter ski trip using these deals and tips.

Buy Lift Tickets Ahead of Time – If you buy your lift ticket at the ski resort, chances are you’ll have to pay full price.

Rent Equipment Off-Site – Rent your skis or snowboard at your resort and you’ll pay a premium. You may be able to spend less if you reserve them online ahead of time, but you’ll save even more if you go off-site. Head to a ski rental shop nearby and rent your equipment for your entire stay.

Research the Rental Car – If you need a rental car, chances are you need one big enough to lug around all of your ski equipment. This probably means you want an SUV or a minivan. Sometimes the SUV is a better deal, but sometimes the minivan is a bigger bargain. Research what’s available and don’t just assume one will cost less than the other.

There is nothing better than fresh tracks on powder. Days like this make us smile all day long. That’s why guests from all over the world come here and they return season after season. That’s why locals don’t want to live anywhere else. I had so much fun today and I am sure I am not the only one: going down Grouse Mtn this morning I could hear people on other trails screeming and shouting uh-hu!!! Just a powder day can do that. I will see you guys tomorrow up at the beav and be ready for more snow!!!
