Super Value Pass

There are three kinds of packages: direct-to-lift pre-purchase tickets, special 19-day tickets for early and late in the season, and free Friday afternoon tickets during the early and late seasons. The early season runs from November 25-December 19, 2004, and late season is April 3-10, 2005. The best discount is obtained by purchasing during the early season. Currently, as of February 2005, the only Super Value Pass available is for 20 or more days, and the price is $839. Bought in the early 2004 season you may have saved $200!

Kids Ski Free!

Here's a cool deal for the little ski bums. Steamboat's Kids Ski Free™ and Grandkids Ski Free are programs that allow children 12 years of age and under to ski free the same number of days as their parents or grandparents when parents or grandparents purchase a 5-or-more day adult lift ticket at the regular price. There are eligibility specifications however; be sure and ask about them.

Another great way to obtain a Steamboat discount lift ticket is taking advantage of unrestricted all-mountain skiing and riding throughout the season, with the exception of a few special days. In addition, when a parent pays the full price on a Steamboat Season Pass, one child (12 and under) is eligible to receive a FREE Season Pass. Very few ski resorts offer this level of value for families.

Each additional child ages 6-12 can purchase a Season Pass for $205 per child ($35 for ages 5 & under), a nearly 50% discount off the regular season child pass price. Teens in the same family will receive a $50 savings when a parent buys an Adult Season Pass early in the season, or a $25 discount after 11/21/04.
