Head to one of these resorts, where it still costs less than $50 to ski all day. Red Mountain Resort may have $52 lift tickets, but that's $52 Canadian—only about 44 bucks in U.S. currency.

(Photo: Red Mountain Resort) If Lake Tahoe's Alpine Meadows appeals to ecologically aware visitors with its 100 percent use of green power, the resort's $46 lift tickets are surely equally attractive to budget-minded skiers. (Photo: Alpine Meadows) In this Oregon resort, prices aren't just low during when most of us are at work. You can also attack the slopes at Mt. Hood Skibowl all day on weekends for just $38.

(Photo: Red Mountain Resort) Alpine Meadows' prices are even better for young people. Children under six ski for free with paid adult tickets while those ages seven to 12 can pick up $15 lift passes. 13- to 18-year-olds are charged $39 per day, a $7 discount off the full adult price.

For example, if you and three other friends or family members share a room, it'll cost you just $74 CAN (about $63 U.S.) for a night's stay and a day of skiing. (Photo: Red Mountain Resort) It's tough to beat Mt. Hood Skibowl's lift ticket rates, which are just $32 per adult per midweek day. (Photo: Mt. Hood Skibowl) Compared to its more famous Idaho counterpart Sun Valley's $74 daily lift ticket rates, Schweitzer Mountain Resort's $49 prices are reason enough to give this resort a second look.
