Wow didn't know about the lift ticket rewards...great idea...as a poor CU-Boulder student with some F9 points who can't really afford Colorado skiing areas...its perfect!

No blackout dates either.
I racked up a whole bunch of miles visiting my GF when she went to CU Boulder.

Quick and dirty explanation:
1) Sign up for a Vail Resorts Peaks Program pass. I can refer you if you'd like (just email me). This gets you a couple thousand Peaks Pts.
2) At the resort, stop by and let them make you a photo-ID as well as link a credit card to your Peaks ID. This nets you another 3000 pts.
3) All meals at the resort charged to your card &gt; $50 nets you 500pts.
4) Lessons get you pts as well.
5) Transferring 2500 F9 FFmiles to the peaks program nets you 10K pts. 10Kpts = free lift ticket. You have to call Frontier to initiate the transfer and typically it is manually done by a supervisor.

I don't remember how much you got on signup but I do remember this netted me another free lift ticket when I was done.
