Important Notes:

  • Early Season Conditions: Please ski and ride with care and respect all terrain closures—they’re there for your safety and the safety of our mountain teams.
  • Stay Updated: We’ll be opening more runs as conditions allow. Keep an eye on our Lifts and Trail Status webpage for the latest updates.
  • No Overnight Camping for First Chair: While we love the enthusiasm of our first-chair seekers, overnight camping won’t be permitted this year. Feel free to come early in the morning, grab a spot in line, and bring your breakfast along for the ride!

We can’t wait to see you on the slopes as we kick off another amazing season. Let’s make it a great one!

Season Pass and Lift Ticket Pick Up

Avoid the opening day rush and pick up your season pass or pre-purchased ticket ahead of time! That way, you can skip the line and head straight to the lift on Saturday.

Already have a Mountain Card from last season? Great news—it’s reusable! If you reloaded your card when purchasing your pass, your 2024-25 access is already activated. Simply bring your existing card and enjoy a seamless start to the season. Mountain Cards can be re-used year after year, making it easy to reload with season passes or lift tickets whenever you’re ready to hit the slopes.

Don’t forget to lock in your tickets or a Peaks Card ahead of time to get a discounted rate.
