Each skier can buy four K50 tickets
Vermont's Killington Resort announced a new advance purchase lift-ticket program Tuesday that allows a visitor to buy up to four tickets for only $50 each. The K50 tickets are for sale solely online on the resort's website.
K50 tickets are valid for any day of the 2009-10 season except for 17 blackout days corresponding to major holiday periods: Nov. 27-28, 2009; Dec. 26-31, 2009; Jan. 16-17, 2010; and Feb. 13-19, 2010.
Only the purchaser with a valid photo ID may pick up K50 tickets on the day they are to be used at any open ticket window.
Killington plans to run the special until the specially priced ticket allotment is sold out or Oct. 15, 2009, at the latest. The usual single-day lift ticket price for the upcoming season is $77 for Sunday through Friday and $82 for Saturdays and holiday periods. The Blackout Pass, a season-pass with the same blackout dates as the K50 tickets, runs $699.
Killington is the largest ski resort in eastern North America with 1,215 skiable acres and a vertical drop of 3,050 feet. In addition to 250 inches of natural snowfall, the resort's extensive snowmaking system allows for one of the longest ski seasons in the East.
