Season Passes
Did prices increase this year?
No, all pass prices have remained the same from last year.
Which Pass Should I Choose?
Use this handy quiz to help you decide.
Why should I buy a season pass if lift ticket prices are so low?
A season pass remains the best value for anyone who will ski at least 6 days. Power Pass resorts have not required reservations for passholders, which means you have the Freedom to Ski whenever you want. Plus, a pass means you don’t have to pick your dates and lock them in early for a low rate.
Don’t forget: when you use our no-interest payment plan, your monthly payments may be less than the cost of a single lift ticket!
