Phillips 66 is offering a nice buy one get one Colorado lift ticket deal in exchange for buying 10 gallons of their fuel. Copper Mountain, Monarch Mountain, Powderhorn and Winter Park are the participating ski resorts. There are some blackout dates and day of the week restrictions, but most Sunday’s are good to go. Hooray Monarch for no day of the week restrictions!

And there’s are no limit on how many vouchers you can get. Fill tank = get voucher, fill tank = get voucher, fill tank = get voucher, rinse and repeat, and so on and so on into April. So you could fill up at Phillips 66 each time you need gas and get half price skiing for the rest of the season.

The site makes you click through four pages to get the skinny on blackout dates, so here they are:

Copper Mountain: Valid January 2 thru April 13, 2009, Sunday thru Friday. Blackout dates: Spring Break March 14-29, 2009.

Monarch Mountain: Valid January 2 thru April 13, 2009, Monday thru Sunday. Blackout dates: January 17-18, February 14-15, Spring Break March 14-22, 2009.

Powderhorn: Valid January 2 thru March 29, 2009, Monday thru Thursday. Blackout dates: January 19th, February 16th, Spring Break March 9-12, 2009.

Winter Park: Valid January 2 thru April 13, 2009, Sunday through Friday. Blackout dates: Spring Break March 14-29, 2009.

Details can be found on the Ski Free Colorado website, or just head straight to the list of participating gas stations here.

UPDATE: The deal is being offered for 2010 via Shell gas stations.
