Learn to Turn FAQs

What’s included with the Learn To Turn Pass?


Your pass includes three days of beginner lift tickets, equipment rentals, and lessons — everything you need to start skiing with confidence.  The 25/26 Learn To Turn Pass is valid for the timeframe of November 2025 - May 2026 and is subject to availability when participating resorts are open. The Learn to Turn Pass comes with the following items:

  • 3 days can be used at the same participating resort, or mix of your chosen participating resorts. This pass is only valid at Indy resorts who are specifically participating in this program, which are noted here.
  • Each day includes:
    •  Lift Ticket / Lift Access - provides access to resort's beginner terrain. Ski areas offer limited access to their mountain with this ticket to beginner-focused terrain/lifts/surface lifts. Each participating mountain may provide varying levels of mountain access.
    • Lesson - Age appropriate beginner lesson lasting at least one hour, which may be a group or private lesson
    • Rental Equipment - Skis/snowboard, boots, poles and helmet

Do I have to use all three days in a row?


No — you can spread them out to fit your schedule, but you can visit the same resort 3 times if you’d like. We always recommend traveling and visiting new-to-you resorts if possible!
Be sure to check to see if your desired resort requires advanced reservations ahead of your visit.

No more than one redemption per day is allowed by Indy Pass.

How do I book my days?


First, check to see if your desired resort required advanced reservations. Second, make sure they are not blacked out on the days you'd like to visit. If they:

  • Require reservations: The resort will provide instructions for how to make this reservation, available starting this fall. Instructions will be listed on this page.
  • No reservations required: Just show up! We strongly recommend that you try to arrive early in the day (most ski resorts open at 9:00 am) in order to collect your ticket, rentals, and join a lesson at your chosen resort. There's no guarantee a resort can fit you in a lesson if you arrive late in the day.

Cancellation policy

Due to the nature of a Learn to Turn visit including a lesson, the cancellation policy is: If a Learn to Turn reservation is cancelled within 72 hours, or there is a no-show for an advanced reservation, there is no refund offered and the redemption will be processed for the day of your reservation.

What should I wear or bring for my first day?


Please dress to stay warm, dry, and comfortable so you can make the most of your days on the mountain. Here are some great tips!

What if the weather is bad?


Resorts operate in most winter conditions, but safety always comes first; please check with individual resorts if you have questions.  

Is there a minimum age to use the pass?


The Learn To Turn Pass is for those aged 6 and up, both adults and kids.

What if I decide I love skiing — can I get an Indy Pass?


Absolutely — the Learn To Turn Pass is just the beginning of your ski journey.
Email us at [email protected] if you've used up your 3 days and are hungry for more!

Is there a physical pass?


Yes! Physical passes will ship in the fall. If you ever forget your pass when visiting a resort, that’s ok. You can present an alternative Government ID (Drivers License) instead. Don’t forget to check for reservations before leaving the house.  

are lessons/rentals provided for both skiers and snowboarders?

Yep, you bet. Although you'll need to decide for yourself which path to take...
