Beating the crowds
- Tuesday to Thursday is quietest almost everywhere, and often cheaper.
- Weekdays are the least crowded. Hoodoo's Military Wednesday (2-for-1 tickets for veterans with military ID) and Oneside Wednesday ($30 with a onesie) are midweek deals, and midweek days are generally quieter than weekends. Confirm 2026-27 terms with the resort, since the posted pages are from the prior season.
- Night skiing runs on several evenings a week on more than 20 runs, so an evening session is a lower-crowd option than peak daytime weekend hours.
- Hoodoo's AnyCard (five lift tickets, $345, no blackout dates) can be used on any day, including peak days, so there is no need to pick a specific date to save money.
- Hoodoo sells lift tickets first come, first served at its ticket office, so buying online ahead of a busy weekend is not guaranteed to be needed; check the resort's rates page before you go.
