New Mexico Ski Card $125 for 10 Lift Tickets

I’m slightly in two minds about the The American Lung Association New Mexico Ski Card deal for the 2010/2011 ski season. It costs $125 for 10 adult lift tickets to ski resorts in New Mexico and Colorado. That’s a good price, but you can only ski each destination once. The resorts are spread through New Mexico and Colorado, so you need to be a real ski fan to take advantage of every lift ticket in the package. Plus there are blackout dates for most resorts, and you could spend hours hunched over your calendar trying to figure out when you can ski where.

But hey, it’s all for a good cause, and even if you just redeem it at a few of the New Mexico and Colorado ski resorts, you’ll get your money back. For example, regular priced adult lift tickets at Angel Fire ($64) plus Red River ($63) come to $127. So if you ski both, the $125 New Mexico Ski Card has saved you $2, and the other resorts are a free bonus!

Only 1,000 American Lung Association in New Mexico Ski Cards are for sale. The card entitles you to one adult lift ticket at each of these ski areas:

  • Angel Fire Resort
  • Taos Ski Valley (this is a two for one offer – buy one lift ticket at $71 and get another one free)
  • Arapahoe Basin Ski Area
  • Enchanted Forest Cross-Country (No date restrictions)
  • Monarch Mountain Ski Area
  • Red River Ski Area
  • Sipapu Ski Resort
  • Ski Cooper (No date restrictions)
  • Ski Apache
  • Sunlight Mountain Resort

Check the deal page for date restrictions on each ski resort. If you really only want to ski a couple of resorts though, check out their websites in case they have other ski deals that would suit your budget better.
