Beating the crowds
- Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
- Midweek non-holiday days cost $104 at the window against $134 on weekends and holidays, and fewer people buy midweek tickets.
- Use the twilight session (2–8 pm on scheduled dates, $79 adult) to skip the daytime rush.
- Avoid the Jan 16–17 and Feb 13–20 blackout blocks, when the resort's own pass holders are excluded and day crowds are heaviest.
