Costco ski vouchers?
Never done the Costco ski voucher thing. Mrs and I headed to Montana to hit up Whitefish in a few weeks. Costco sells a voucher for two adult tix that need to be used within 24 hours of purchase. Any issues with this? Can you just show an e-mail confirmation on your phone at the ticket window? Paper trail confirmation could be a problem. Never know what the hotel will have for that.

Costco sells actual physical tickets. buy the two pack at costco, drive to the ski hill, get in line for the lift, and have the lifty scan your ticket which will activate it for the day. Super easy, pretty economic, and a huge time saver.

Guess I should have mentioned that this is for on-line purchased vouchers. Unless there is a Costco store in Kalispell or Whitefish that is handy?

Correct:
Whitefish Mountain 2 Adult 1 Day Lift Tickets eVoucher, Montana
Item 1372372
Your Price125.99$
eDelivery
Features:
eVouchers Valid 24 Hours After Purchase
Discounts On: Lodging, Lessons, Rentals
Whitefish, Montana
Delivered via email
Buy it ahead of time, print voucher, bring to ticket window, profit. The comments on costco.com say you must print the voucher and that they will not scan your phone. This seems insane but whatever.

It does not sound like eDelivery to phone to present at tix window to redeem will fly. Need paper. On line purchase allows you to be a non-member to buy, with a 5% surcharge which is like $6. That is no problem. So I could drive to the Kalispell Costco but you have to be a member to walk through the door. Don't want to pay $60 for that. Reasonably safe to say any hotel we stay at is going to have a printer were a printout can be made.

And if you don't use them Costco will take them back (AFAIK).

If you plan to ski 5 or more days, the freequent skier card is a better deal.

Reading comprehension? Huh?
24 hours after sounds good. Will purchase and print them out at home prior to travel day.
Getting pretty excited to head out. Ski itinerary is two days at Whitefish, drive to Fernie for two. Drive back south ski 1/2 at Blacktail. Finish with two at Whitefish.
Thanks for responding,
Cheers.

Fernie’s a way better hill. One day at Whitefish would be plenty.

Reviving this thread for an upcoming trip to Whitefish. Any locals know if Costco has discounted tickets in store or should I just buy them in advance online?
Sorry, but we are fleeing the CO desert to clog up your slopes this Christmas. I appreciate the advice.

I can't speak to the Costco vouchers, but the Whitefish Resort Frequent Skier card might be a good deal for you. Have to buy before Xmas. Pickup anytime. $50 up front, but save approx $30 per adult ticket.

Thanks. That's definitely not a bad option if Costco doesn't have the discounted tickets.

I'll add that the convenience factor is high on that one. Pick it up the first day. They attach credit card to it. After that, when you start a new day they auto charge you. Also get the season pass discount on food when charged to the pass (10%? off)

I checked at the Helena Costco today which usually carries those Whitefish discount cards, and they did not have any. Might have had them earlier in the fall, that's usually when they carry them. You could try calling Costco in Missoula or Kalispell and asking if they have any, otherwise Plan B as noted above.
