Every year, before the Winter Season, Vail have a series of passes available to purchase that provide HUGE savings on the usually on-the-day lift ticket you purchase During the season.
But from December onwards, these passes come off sale and to access the mountain, so during the season you will need to purchase the regular lift ticket prices which can be over $300/per day during Peak season.
Though out the months leading up to the Winter, there are incremental price rises so the earlier you purchase the better.
If you are coming to Whistler to ski or snowboard, you NEED to buy your passes early!
Here’s a breakdown of the passes currently available so you can see what the best pass is for you.
**Please note - these passes, their prices and conditions are applicable to the Winter 2026/27 season only. Please also make sure to double check all conditions of purchase when buying the passes. I try to include accurate, up-to-date information but there may be errors.
