Season Passes

Updated September 1, 2023

When will I get my Season Pass?

If you have not already received your RFID season pass card in the mail, you will need to pick it up at Customer Service. If you are picking it up on your first day of riding, please be prepared for a wait at Customer Service. In the early part of the season there are a lot of pass holders picking up their passes at the same time.

I purchased my season pass in September, how do I get my Friends Ski Free tickets?

Your Friends Ski Free tickets are attached to your profile in our system. In order to redeem your free tickets, you will need to accompany your guest to Customer Service where we can look up your profile. Friends Ski Free tickets CANNOT be redeemed online through our webstore.

I have season rentals, do I need to book a date and time to come down?

Currently, we are not requiring season renters to reserve a date and time. We will have a dedicated line for season renters to short cut you through our front end process. If future restrictions are placed on our rental operations, then we may have to implement a reservation system again.

What happens if I forget, lose, or have my RFID card stolen?

If you forget, lose, or have your RFID card stolen, visit Customer Service with a valid photo ID. They will issue you a new card, and any purchases on the original card will be transferred to the new one.
