New concept for the Four Pass

Here's something new: Winter Park and Copper Mountain are offering a new four-pass card called the TransFour.

Like the old Four Pass, it covers four days of skiing or riding at Winter Park or Copper, but there's a twist: the TransFour is transferable. The new pass isn't as good a deal as the Four Pass, which is $88 for Copper and $99 for Winter Park, but it does offer some appealing flexibility.

Price for the TransFour is $169 for Winter Park and $149 for Copper.

Season pass prices have also been announced - $269 for Copper and $279 for Winter Park.

Passes are available now, but here's the deal - you have to drive to Denver, where you can pick them up at King Soopers, Christy Sports, Breeze/max at Dumont and Sixth and Simms and Passwagon events (check www.passwagon.com).

In the Springs, you have to wait until Sept. 2, where you can get the passes at Christy Sports, 8045 N. Academy Blvd., from 2 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. tp 6 p.m. Sunday through Nov. 19.
