With the onset of winter, ski season is in full swing. If you havent bought a pass yet, nows the time.

　　Ikon Pass will stop sales for the year on Dec. 11. That means youve got less than 2 weeks to secure access for this season if you plan on skiing at Copper, Steamboat, Arapahoe Basin, Palisades Tahoe, Mammoth, or any of Ikons 60 other destinations.

　　The news follows Vail Resorts announcement that it will be pulling the Epic Pass from sale on Dec. 4.

There are discounts of $280 and $380 on the base and full, respectively, for college students, military members (active duty, reservists, and retired), and nurses. The 4-day Ikon Session Pass costs $570.

　　Check the Ikon website for details on blackout dates and access to all of Ikons destinations worldwide for the Ikon Base and Session Passes.

　　A single day pass at a resort like Copper Mountain typically costs around $200 when purchased online in advance. So, if you plan on skiing more than a few days this season, a season pass might be worth it.
