PASSES TO FIT EVERY OCCASION
To start the 2022-23 season with the new Discovery Lift Card system — enabled with RFID technology — season passes purchased online before opening day can be picked up at Guest Services in the lodge or at preseason events to be announced (sign up for our newsletter to receive more information about these events). On opening day season passes can be picked up on the mountain at Guest Services. Daily lift tickets can be picked up on or any time after opening day at the Ticket Kiosks. Season passes purchased online after the mountain opens for the season can be picked up at a Ticket Kiosk in front of the lodge.
New to the Discover Lift Card System?
Buy online at any time to save on all daily Discovery Lift Cards and skip the purchase line when you arrive. Buying online always gets you our best pricing — and you can go straight from your car to the lift with just a quick stop at a Ticket Kiosk to pick up your card. So more snow time for you!
As always here at Discovery, children age 5 and under (at time of pass purchase) ski free when with a paying adult. Please add the child pass (cost $0) to your shopping cart when purchasing an adult daily lift card. Your child will need to carry his/her Discovery Lift Card when on the mountain. There is a $5.00 charge for your initial RFID lift card purchase. Lift Cards will work for 5 seasons without damage. If you already have a Discovery Lift Card from a previous visit last season, you can choose to Reload it in the checkout and save the cost of buying a new one.
Ticket prices purchased at the Guest Services window on the mountain are listed below for the 2022-2023 season. Purchasing tickets online is always less expensive than buying in person at the window.
