Pass Benefits
Q: How can I start skiing now on my 2023/2024 season pass?
A: With our Buy Now, Ski Now benefit, you can start skiing immediately on your eligible 2023/2024 season pass! You can ski anywhere your new pass is valid. For example, if you purchase a Power Pass Core pass, you can ski Pajarito right now. Please note that if you purchase a Select or Core pass, you cannot use your Buy Now, Ski Now preseason benefit on one of your 12 restricted days on the pass. Those benefits will start in the 2023/2024 winter season. If you want to use your pass right away, do not select free shipping at checkout. Instead, email us at ski@pajarito.ski to schedule a time to pick up your new pass.
