Interchangeable Parents Pass

We appreciate that some parents have children who require constant attention. So, we’ve made it easier for those parents who still like to tear up 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, so as they can both enjoy a few turns. Please note that this does not apply to those people who ski with a baby in a backpack, a practice against which we strongly advise. If you’re unsure, please contact the ticket office direct with further queries.
