For non Super Bowl fans, ski with Liftopia for a winning deal

While bingeing through Doritos, pizza, nachos and a host of $4.5 million dollar 30 second ads, on Sunday, February 7th, a third of the U.S. population will simulatenously watch the Carolina Panthers beat the Denver Broncos (easy to tell which side of the fence I am on) for Super Bowl 50. But for the other two-thirds of the U.S. who could care less about the NFL (that would also be me), it’s the perfect time to hit some of the best snow bowls and runs this winter.

“On Super Bowl Sunday, resorts historically see half the crowds compared to other peak-season Sundays, particularly in markets where teams are playing. This makes it one of the best days of the year to spend some time on the mountain with friends enjoying the snow and fresh air. Since the game is at 3:30 p.m. Pacific, even in the East you can get a solid day on the hill, a good way to earn those wings and beers thereafter,” said Evan Reece, co-founder and CEO of Liftopia.

For those who have never heart of Liftopia, Liftopia is the largest online and mobile marketplace for advance purchase lift tickets and other mountain activities. It's free for iPhone and iPad users; its the first and only app where skiers and boarders can browse and buy deals on lift tickets, lessons and rentals in advance and on the go; and they offer deals at more than 250 ski resorts in North America.
