Utah: Boarding pass = free lift ticket at three Park City ski resorts

Here’s a good reason to snag one of those early-morning flights from Los Angeles International Airport: Three ski resorts in Park City, Utah, allow skiers and snowboarders to exchange their boarding pass for a same-day lift ticket to jump-start their vacation.

The deal: The Quick Start Vacation offer is good at the Park City Mountain, Deer Valley and Canyons ski resorts. The free lift ticket applies only to out-of-state visitors arriving at Salt Lake City International Airport. You must register for the deal in advance at the Park City Chamber of Commerce/Visitors Bureau and bring a boarding pass and valid ID.

When: The offer is good from March 27 through April 10 at Park City Mountain and Deer Valley Resort and from March 27 through April 17 at Canyons.
