Does anyone know if any of the Destination Clubs include free lift tickets to any of the mountains?

LUSSO provides two USSA "Gold Passes" at each of their ski residences. While not free, they are provided for the members to use at $50 per day (each), which is often a significant savings over purchasing lift tickets, and may be used as often or frequently as chosen... members simply tell the concierge the number of days each was used while in residence.

Wow, that is a great deal. Here is the link to the gold pass: USSA: Gold Pass Pretty pricey, $8k, so it costs the DC some money out of pocket no doubt but would be a super nice benefit for members.

Private Escapes offers one free ski pass at each of it's Colorado ski homes. Here's the note from the member's web site for the Copper Mountain, CO home:
---
"One Free Ski Pass for Private Escapes' Members. Private Escapes has purchased a Summit Foundation Patron Pass for this home. The Summit Pass provides a free ski pass for one person per day to Copper Mountain Resort, Breckenridge Ski Resort, Keystone Resort, Winter Park Resort or Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. Please contact your Escape Planner for details."

For more details on exactly how this works and which homes it is available in, you will probably want to talk with a PE membership director. You can email a membership director through the privateescapes.com web site. Hope that info is helpful.

Cost = $4500 per year; gives one person per day a free lift ticket, with reduced rates for up to 4 more per day, plus discounts on dining, lessons, etc. In the summer it is good for free golf at several resorts.

MNappa,

Thanks for your first post. In another thread there is a discussion about whether or not the UR/PE merger will go through. From your club classification, it appears that it is a done deal.


Is it me, or have there been an incredible number of posts today after a relatively slow couple of weeks?

2 merger discussions, quintess vs lusso discussion for example make up most of that.. its always just a matter of what is being discussed. also this thread on lift tickets, after your post in the HCC forum about them.
