Ski deal of the millennium – the Tirol snow card

It seems on my last post on the Tirol snow card I had failed to read the small print. The card which covers 77 Ski areas, 923 Lifts, 3105 kms of piste and is valid between 01/10/09 and 15/05/10 costs €590 but for those with the residency papers in Tirol then the cost tumbles to €439. Every main ski area in the Tirol is covered by the Tirol snow card but for Solden, Ischgl and St Anton. There are some top areas on the card including the entire Innsbruck ski region, the Kitzbuhel and Ski Welt ski regions, all the Tirolean glaciers, Serfaus-Fiss-Ladis, Obergurgl, the superb Zillertal Arena…..   That works out at €1.93 per day to ski in some of the top ski areas in the Alps – that is even less than a bottle of beer in my après ski local!
