First, there is no such thing as discounted lift passes I am afraid. If there was, we'd all have them.

In the US there are several ways to get discounted lift passes. Some area passes are sold in discount warehouse stores, and sports stores like REI. These can be 20% to 30% cheaper than at the resort.
There are also online lift discounters like Liftopia. The tickets and deals these sites have, changes with demand, so you may need to monitor them.
Thirdly, Hotels often have stay and ski packages, which can more than halve the cost of lift tickets.
Resort prices reduce with the number of days as well.
