Not unlike MacGyver, or the Professor from Gilligan’s Island, Frontier Airlines is using what tools it has at its disposal to fashion a better program for its EarlyReturns members.

Of course, with its Denver hub situated in the heart of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, Frontier has considerably better tools with which to work.

Frontier has partnered with the Peaks at Vail Resorts. Though the partnership lacks an all-out ski package award, EarlyReturns members now have the opportunity to redeem miles for lift tickets at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge and Keystone. For just 2,500 miles members will receive one adult ski lift pass.

Frontier will get you to the top of the mountain, but it’s up to you to ski, or tumble, your way back down.

To redeem your miles for a lift ticket, call EarlyReturns at (866) 263-2759.
