Now, I am going to preface this with I have not made a purchase with them yet, but plan on purchasing in the next couple weeks. With that being said, I only put 3 stars because I havent had any experience with them and just wanted to add my observation to the discussion. I went through and read basically every single comment from the last 2-3 years. Every single bad review I read was because of someone getting sick or missing their flight or something to do with them not being at the resort when they scheduled the tickets for. It clearly states on their website that there are no refunds, credits, date changes, or anything like that. All sales are final. So if and when you get sick, and aren't able to ski that day, you already know you will not get the money back or transferred to another date. I don't get why people are so up in arms about that policy. Does it suck if you miss it and can't get refunded or changed? Sure. But the tickets I am looking at now, are almost 50% off from the price on the resorts website. I will be purchasing tickets for two people and the ability to basically get a two for one deal is worth the chance that something may happen and we wont ski that day. The only one that even startles me to the least is if the road is closed and we cannot make it to pick up our tickets on the first day and end up missing the other days too because we missed our pickup date. That is the only one that bothers me in the slightest. But everything else, if you dont use it you lose it. The price you pay for getting it so discounted in the first place. The only reason I am writing this review is to share with others that if you plan on buying these tickets and plan on using them the dates you purchased them that day and if you miss that day realize you have to say oh well, then it seems like a great deal to me. Don't get scared by all the bad reviews. Just know that you are purchasing a final ticket with no chance of a refund and everything will be just fine. The bad reviews are people that got sick or missed their flight or got injured or something along those lines. So if you buy them, use them on the correct days, and you shouldn't have any problems.

I bought a joint ticket to ski Alpine mountain that included Squaw access. Alpine was closed today due to snow conditions. I had no interest in skiing Squaw, but decided to check it out anyway. However a check to the Squaw website showed that all but two of the lifts were closed (these lifts were beginner lifts that barely made it up half of the mountain). I called both Alpine and Squaw and both were offering full cash refunds, (even Squaw which had two lifts still technically running). Workers at both mountains believed that Liftopia would also be giving out full refunds for the joint ticket. However upon calling Liftopia customer service (who were very pleasant actually, the only reason I don't give 1 star), I was told I would not receive any compensation (I was even willing to accept credit). I hope that the profit from one lift ticket was worth it to Liftopia, because they are never getting my business again. I will be adamantly encouraging others to avoid buying from this company. EDIT: They did eventually give me credit for the day worth what I paid for the ticket. It was a hassle for me though, and I had to put in many hours to finally get my money back. I changed from 2 to 3 stars.
