How to Ski for Less If You’re Over 50!

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Substantial savings on everything from lift tickets, lessons, equipment and lodging are available to members of Over the Hill Gang, International (OTHGI), just by using their membership cards.

Savings on lift ticket rates, ski lessons, equipment rentals and services, lodging and transportation extend the buying power of baby boomers now into their fifties as well as older skiers who have discovered the benefits of membership in this international organization specifically geared to mature skiers.

Aspen, Breckenridge, Steamboat, Taos, and Vail are a few of the top-name areas where OTHGI skiers find deals on lift tickets and lessons with few restrictions.

By showing a membership card and photo ID at the ticket window or ski school, members of OTHGI can save substantially every time they ski. Ski equipment and rental shops also offer savings on equipment tune-ups and rentals when members use their cards and ID. Discounts on hotel rooms (some with ski-in, ski-out access), condos and bed-and-breakfasts are also available. More than 250 businesses offer discounts for the 2004-05 season!

The membership fee for Over The Hill Gang, International is modest (starting at $50 per year) and can be quickly recouped using the discounts on personal ski trips. The do-it-yourself approach is not for everyone so OTHGI also offers fully planned and escorted ski trips to resorts in the western U.S. and Canada, and to Europe.

Get in on the deals by becoming a member of OTHGI. A membership application and more information can be found at www.othgi.com. Over The Hill Gang, International® can also be reached at 719-389-0022 (fax 719-389-0024), or at 1820 W. Colorado Avenue, Colorado Springs, CO 80904.
