TELLURIDE- CO
Season passes are $1,298 and come with a three day pass to Taos (http://www.skitaos.org/). This pass will go up $700 on 10/29/11. These next three deals are only available until the 10/29/11 and then they are gone: Teluride Card- gives you 20% off on all of your tickets ($80), 6 Day Pass- $450 ($75 tickets), 10 Day Pass- $650 ($65 tickets). Those are some pretty steep deals- but this mountain is known for being super exclusive. Last year tickets were $98 and who knows if they will be raised..........
