A Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sale for Skiers

Who doesn't love a good sale? Not me. And who doesn't love a sale that can spell more days skiing this winter? Not me again--I can't resist a good deal especially if it involves a powder day.

With snow in the forecast and plenty of ski resorts already open for the 2013-2014 season--and more are expected to open in the days to come--you'd be hard-pressed to pass up a deal that could save you some precious dollars on lift tickets. After all, money saved to get on the mountain means more days you can spend skiing it.

Liftopia, the largest online and mobile marketplace for lift tickets and other mountain activities, has just the deal for skiers and snowboarders this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Starting Monday, Nov. 25, Liftopia is offering lift tickets as low as $5.99, or 78 percent off, at 119 resorts across the country.
