How To Use Your Passport
-
What is an Eligible Adult Ticket Purchase for Redemption?
An eligible adult ticket purchase is either at the ski area ticket window or online at the ski area website. Third party tickets (discounted or free) are not eligible.
-
Can I redeem a passport coupon with a free ticket or pass or via PSIA/NSP passes?
No - a lift ticket must be purchased directly from the ski area at the window or on the ski area website. No third party ticket or free passes are allowed. Also discounted tickets that are not purchased directly from the ski area be it online or at the window are not allowed.
-
After I receive my passport, how do I use it?
Present the Passport card or temporary pass at the ticket window. Some ski areas may have a designated area for redemption.
-
I have 3 children in the 3rd, 4th and 5th grades. Can they each participate?
Yes. All kids can participate but only 2 passport holders can redeem lift tickets per paying adult. So, if three children are participating in the Kids Ski or Ride Free program, 2 adults would need to be present and purchase lift tickets.
