Below is a link to an interesting article about skiing when you are in your 70s. There is an interesting discussion on lift pricing, mostly due to the changes in lift equipment over the decades. For example, it used to cost $16 to ski at Aspen in 1979, which equates to only $56 in today’s money with inflation figured in, while the actual cost today is almost $200 at Aspen.
I particularly like this statement about “senior” discounts. Sugarbush in Vermont uses 90 years as its free skiing starting age. We do not know if we should consider this as “humorous or optimistic!“
