Liftopia.com - Deals at Ski Resorts
Liftopia takes an online-travel style platform of yield management and online distribution to lift tickets, permitting ski resorts to adjust price points up and down for specific dates, reacting to changes in weather and snow conditions. Founded by former employees of Hotwire.
com, Liftopia helps ski resorts generate incremental sales by offering lift ticket discounts to customers in exchange for booking specific ski/snowboard days in advance. How does Liftopia get such great lift ticket deals? The truth is, resorts want you to ski or ride more often. Because you are willing to commit in advance to specific days, and know that you can't cancel your booking once it is done with, Liftopia makes it safe for resort partners to offer exclusive deals through this site. This way resorts can try to get more folks out on the slopes, without hurting their on-mountain prices.
Liftopia.com In their own words
“Through our ski resort partnerships we bring you serious deals, most of which are exclusive to Liftopia. But we know that’s not good enough. We know you want choice. And so we’re constantly working to bring more resorts in to Liftopia and add more selection. If you don’t see your favorite resort this time, we ask that you please come back soon to see this site grow.”
Why Liftopia.com might be a killer
Liftopia is a proven model applied to a new inventory set. Why does a lift ticket price stay the same on a Wednesday after it has rained as a Saturday after a foot of fresh snow?
