I worked at the mountain (both part-time and full-time) for many years, so that was a great way to afford to ride for a good while at first. Now that I don't work on the mtn anymore I look for deals. Subscribe to facebook and newsletters of the resort pages, they will let you know the hookups. Also you can contact the marketing dept of the mountain directly and they will clue you in on coupons available and whatnot.
