Q: What’s the difference between the Power Pass and the Power Pass Select?

These two products sound the same, but their benefits are different: the Power Pass comes with unlimited access to Purgatory and all of our mountains: no blackout dates! The Power Pass Select offers 12 shared days between Purgatory and Arizona Snowbowl (blackout dates: 12/27/23-1/2/24, 1/13/24-1/14/24, 2/17/24-2/18/24) plus unlimited access to Hesperus, Brian Head, Pajarito, Sipapu, Nordic Valley and Spider Mountain at a lower price point than the Power Pass. Both passes come with six 30% off discounted online lift tickets and 10% off on-mountain services, including food and beverage, ski school and rentals. The Power Pass includes 3 free days at Copper Mountain, Loveland, Monarch Mountain & Sundance. The Power Pass Select is 3 free days at Sundance & Monarch Mountain. If you purchase this pass by 5/20/23, you receive 3 FREE days of mountain bike uplifts at each of our bike parks: Purgatory, Brian Head and Pajarito (in addition to the unlimited access at Spider Mountain through 4/30/24).

Q: I just want to ski my home mountain. What pass should I buy?

A: It all depends on when and where you want to ski. The Power Pass comes with unlimited access to Brian Head Resorts. The Power Pass Select offers unlimited skiing at Brian Head Resorts plus 12 shared days of skiing at Snowbowl and Purgatory (blackout dates: 12/27/23-1/2/24, 1/13/24-1/14/24, 2/17/24-2/18/24).

Payment Plan

Q. What is the payment plan?

All passes are eligible for our no-interest payment plan which allows you to evenly split your pass price over time. You’ll be charged for the initial payment at the time of purchase, followed by automatic payments on the 30th of each month through November 30, 2023 (or July 30, 2023 for summer passes). Learn more here.

Q: Is there an interest or a finance charge when I choose to pay with the payment plan?

No. There is no interest, finance charge, or any hidden fees.

Q: Does my season pass cost more when I chose the payment plan?

No. In fact, your monthly payment could be less than the price of a lift ticket.

Q: Do I still get the same benefits if I choose the payment plan, rather than paying it all at once?

Yes. Enjoy all the benefits of being a season passholder while you’re paying for your pass.

Q: How many months will it take to pay for my pass this way?

This is an automatic monthly payment plan. The number of payments – and number of months – depends on when you purchase your season pass. All payments are complete on November 30. It’s important to purchase your pass by the 14th of the month to maximize the number of payments you have and lower your monthly payment. When you purchase the pass, you are charged for an initial payment. After that, you are charged on the 30th of every month until the pass is paid in full. 

Q: Can I update my credit card online?

Yes, you can update your credit card information online. You will need your Web Sale number which can be found at the top of your confirmation email.

Q: Is the payment plan an option for all season pass products?

Yes

Q: Can I use the payment plan on anything else, like rentals or ski school?

No. At this time, the payment plan is only an option to purchase season passes.

Q: Do I have to wait until my pass is paid in full before I can use it?

No. As long as you are regularly making the monthly payment, you can use your pass anytime. If you fall behind on your payments, your pass will be suspended. Payments that are declined may be charged a $20 administrative fee per incident.

Season Pass Refunds

Q. Is my season pass refundable?

A: Season passes are non-refundable unless the Season Pass Refund Option is selected at the time of purchase.
