Two for One Mondays

Hate Mondays? Well, up here at Porters they’re our favourite day of the week! Every Monday of the season (excluding school holidays), if you buy an adult all day lift pass or an adult beginner ski or snowboard package – you’ll get a second one free.

This two for one deal applies to full price day passes and packages only. It cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.

If you’d like more information on how you can brighten up your Monday, get in touch and we’ll do our best to kick start your week with a fun and affordable day on the slopes.

Snow Guarantee

We take pride in the quality of skiing on offer at Porters, and for good reason. But if  you are not completely satisfied, take us up on our snow guarantee. Just bring in your all day or morning pass by 10.30am, or your afternoon pass by 1.30pm, and we’ll give you an equivalent voucher for another day redeemable in the same season. We like to keep customers happy here at Porters!

Kid’s Under 7 Ski Free!

There’s nothing we like more than seeing families having fun together on our slopes. That’s why at Porters, kids under 7 accompanied by an adult ski for free. This applies to all lifts, all season. If you plan on skiing with us a bit this season, and are purchasing an adult season pass, you can also get a complimentary child (U7) season pass. There’s just a $30 processing fee to cover the cost of producing the pass, and you’re good to go!

Interchangeable Parents Pass

Many parents enjoy bringing their children who are too young to ski or snowboard. So we decided to make it easier for those parents who want to hit the slopes. We’ve introduced the interchangeable parents pass. Those purchasing a full-price adult day pass ($82) from the ticket office with their partner and their toddler (3 and under) will be issued with two passes. This way you can switch around your skiing time with caring for your toddler. This pass is not available to those who choose to ski with a small child in a backpack, a practice against which we strongly advise.
