Ski lift ticket prices rising at Wash. resorts
11:04 PM PDT on Thursday, October 2, 2008
TACOMA, Wash. - Like the ski lifts themselves, prices for lift tickets are going up at Washington's biggest resorts this season.
A survey by The News Tribune of Tacoma finds the average cost of a lift ticket at the state's six biggest resorts will be $53.50, compared with $48.35 last season.
Crystal Mountain is charging $60 and a weekend pass at Stevens Pass will cost about $61 with tax.
Resort operators say the cost of energy is the main factor pushing up prices.
Still, prices are even higher in some other locales. The News Tribune reports the prices charged or estimated elsewhere include $90 at Colorado's Aspen Snowmass, and $80 at Sun Valley in Idaho.
