How to Pick your Season Pass for First Time Students in Colorado?

I was a first year student last year and new to Colorado. When it came to selecting a pass for the year I had no idea which one to choose. There are several factors that came into play when being a student and spending money on a ski pass. The factors that I had to weigh, were the price of the pass, the location of the resort, and the terrain for the type of riding I am most interested in. The key passes are the Epic Pass, which is all Vail Resorts, the Colorado Pass, which is unlimited access to Breckenridge, Keystone and A-Basin, plus 10 restricted days at Vail and Beaver Creek. It also gives you 5 restricted days at Heavenly which is new to the pass this year. The third pass that I chose was the Rocky Mountain Super Pass, which is unlimited access to Copper Mountain and Winter Park/Mary Jane and 6 unrestricted days at Steamboat. The reasons I chose this pass were because of the voucher offered by Wells-Fargo, the location and ride-able terrain.

Wells-Fargo offered college students a buy one get one free Rocky Mountain Super Pass Plus for opening a checking account. The Rocky Mountain Super Pass Plus offers unlimited skiing and riding at Winter Park / Mary Jane and Copper Mountain, plus six unrestricted days at Steamboat.

The pass cost 400 dollars but with my buddy I spent 200 dollars with the voucher, which was a great deal for me being on a fixed budget. Another plus was that Copper Mountain is only 25 minutes away from Leadville. If you don’t have your own car there are plenty of people heading that direction that will give you a lift. The last factor was the terrain. Copper Mountain has great all mountain terrain and is easy to navigate. If you are a park rider it is not the best park but again only being 25 minutes away makes up for it.

Therefore, when deciding on which pass to get this year for first time students in the Leadville area should look into the Colorado Mountain Super Pass for its price, location and terrain.
