I try to stay away from too much news type stuff as I think that’s better left for sites like Transworld and Push.ca, but this was way too cool to not blog about.
I’ve talked about Liftopia in the past, they’re a company that helps you search for cheap lift tickets, but they’ve just added something that sounds insanely epicly awesome:
You can now rent an entire mountain!
Yep, that’s right. For the low price of $3-5k per day, you can rent an entire ski hill for up to 250 people. Apparently real men don’t buy lift tickets… they just rent the entire mountain.
I had to see for myself if it was possible and a quick check confirmed it:
So there you go. The choices are pretty limited right now and here are the initial mountains available for booking:
Plattekill Mountain Resort:
· Full-Mountain Rental for up to 250 people for $3,000
· Private Tubing Hill Rental for 75 people for $900
· Or a Full Mountain and Tubing Hill Rental for $3,600.
The full-mountain rentals are offered Mondays through Thursdays (non holidays) for the moths of January, February and March and is based on availability.

I could see this becoming an EPIC way to hold group meetings. Imagine a company retreat where you’ve booked an entire ski hill! Now how much it cost to book Whistler Blackcomb for a week…
