Ski resorts are not immune to the current economic conditions, so this year they are looking to locals to boost their business.

If you live in an area within driving distance of a ski resort, you are in luck. This winter most ski resorts across the country are planning to offer discounts to entice locals who usually don’t ski to hit the slopes. Examples of the deals that are being offered around the country are heavily discounted season passes, and special times where children can ski for free.

Residents near skiing hotbeds like Vermont or Utah would be wise to act quickly to take advantage of these deals, because they won’t last forever.

If you are interested in booking a skiing trip and taking advantage of these types of deals, check out Solitude Mountain Resort in Utah, or Ski Vermont for more information.

Now hit the slopes!
