SAM Magazine—Denver, Sept. 18, 2014—It’s almost a throwback in its simplicity: the Gems Card program features two-for-one lift tickets at eight Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) member areas, along with exclusive Flash Deal promotions throughout the season.

At any Gems resort, card holders can purchase one adult full-day lift ticket and receive another adult full-day lift ticket for free. Each Gems Card is good for one use per Gems resort, per season. A limited number of Gems Cards ($20) are available.

The bonus: CSCUSA will announce Flash Deals, special promotions and additional ways to save that are unique to each Gems resort, on short notice throughout the season. The Deals will be promoted in the Gems newsletter, on social media, and on the Gems website (www.ColoradoSki.com/Gems). Flash Deals are exclusive to Colorado Gems Card holders.

The Gems resorts are Arapahoe Basin, Eldora Mountain Resort, Loveland Ski Area, Monarch Mountain, Powderhorn Resort, Ski Cooper, Ski Granby Ranch, and Sunlight Mountain Resort.
