]]> The Canyons Resort season pass discounts ends October 15th, this Friday, so hurry and purchase and save some cash. New improvements for this season at The Canyons include 300 new acres of terrain, a “Ski-Beach” with firepits, lounge chairs and outdoor food stations, heated lift seats with an overhead bubble cover for weather protection and many other improvements to the mountain base area, terrain and lodging.

This season The Canyons Ski Resort is offering passes with varying degrees of benefits and which is reflected in the price. The basic pass is called the Silver Pass and the upgrade is the Gold Pass. There is also a Canyon Club platinum level membership. The price for the Silver Adult Full Season Pass is $999 until October 15th, $1,299 after the 15th. In comparison, the Gold Adult Full Season Pass is $1,399 until October 15th and $1,699 after the 15th. So you will save $300 if you make your season pass purchase now. There are also discounts for purchasing up until October 15th for most of their other passes, including the 5 and 10-day coupon books.

So what is the difference between the Silver and Gold passes besides the $400 price difference? There is a Canyons Silver vs Gold Season Pass Comparison Table that shows exactly what you get with each level. With the Gold pass compared to the Silver Pass, you get 1 more day lift ticket for friends or family, 2 more complimentary lodging nights, 2 more adult ski or snowboard lessons, 1 more gold level ski or board tune and two lunch entrees at The Cabin vs one appetizer or desert (for Silver Pass holders). Both Silver and Gold Passes include Up To 4 Buddy Passes Per Day For $59 Each, 15% Discount at Canyon Mountain Sports & One Sweet Ride, 15% Discount on Ski & Snowboard Rentals, Unlimited Hot Chocolate, Coffee or Tea, Weekly Winter Mountain Tour and Summer Lift Privileges. There are some restrictions with these benefits which you can read at the comparison table link mentioned above.

So head on over to The Canyons Resort Season Passes before the savings end on October 15th. The Park City Mountain Resort also has a similar pass offering with different levels of benefits. Their season pass prices will be going up after October 31st.  The Deer Valley Ski Resort also offers discounts for ski passes prior to October 31st as well.

]]> The three Park City Ski Resorts opening dates for 2009-2010 season are as follows:

Park City Mountain Resort: November 21

The Canyons Resort: November 27

Deer Valley Resort: December 5

Now these dates are based on whether or not the resorts are able to get enough natural snow and/or able to use their snowmaking equipment to make enough snow.  If the weather cooperates, it will be cold enough for continued snowmaking and hopefully will not warm up enough during the day so that the snowmaking stays ahead of the melting rate.

Deer Valley typically opens the latest to make sure conditions are good enough so that they do not disappoint skiers. Not to say Park City Mtn. Resort and The Canyons do not care, Deer Valley is just choosing to wait longer for their opening day for insurance that the conditions are good by then.  If the weather is not cold and snowy enough by December 5th, well that would just make us sad to say the least.

Is it worth it to book a vacation to ski the Park City Resorts during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, which starts November 26th (note The Canyons is planning to open the day after Thanksgiving on the 27th).  I do not know, to tell you the truth. I have never skied here during Thanksgiving because I can wait and ski the best snow days since I live so close.  A couple of years ago we had a friend who visited us during Thanksgiving and was looking forward to going skiing, but missed out because it was super windy and stormy the days he could go.  He had to return home when the storm cleared.  It’s up to you. If you are just dying to go skiing, especially if you are getting a season pass, they sure come on out.  Just remember that the snow probably won’t be the best yet (although after that storm we had during Thanksgiving the snow was great) and it is a slight possibility that the resorts won’t even be open.  But hey, even if you do book your trip there is still plenty to do in Park City besides skiing.

Do not forget to get your discount ski passes before prices go up.  Refer to this post for more information: Park City Ski Passes Pre-Season Discounts
