How far in advance do you need to buy lift tickets?

For convenience and best price?

so many factors but for convenience, I buy at the mountain. for price, I would search for deals ahead of time.

Is there a particular site that is better than the rest?

they aren't typically discounted ever for the most part.

yeah, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Buying ahead of time is always cheaper but usually a pain in the butt. You can usually save $5-10. google the mtn and discount tickets.

watch blackout dates though, sometimes they are good on every day.

And frankly, ski season is just about over.

Liftopia or just stop at almost any grocery store in the area and they have discounted tickets as well

We bought through epic pass about 2 weeks to a month in advance.

Depends on where you're going. I bought my Epic Pass 2 weeks out for about a 10% savings.

I would call a store up north and ask them if they have any relationships with resorts.

I used to work at a ski shop and we had deep, deep discounts for a ton of mountains.

For true convenience you get them at a store like REI or someplace who does it or online instead of being in that slow arse line at the mountain.
