How it works
We’ve made it easy for you to go from curious to confident. Just follow these simple steps and you’ll be on the slopes in no time.
Step 1: Take the checklist (right above)
If you're a true beginner or it's been a while (meaning a beginner lesson would help), and you have participating resorts within driving distance, this pass is for you. Most participating resorts limite access across the resorts, since this is primarily tailored to beginner terrain.
Step 2: Check for Dates and Availability
Some resorts require advanced reservations ahead of your arrival, or "blackout dates" which limit days you can visit their resort during their busier times. View the calendar below to make sure their schedule aligns with yours.
Step 3: get Your Learn-To-Turn Pass
Purchase your pass early for the best price. It's on sale now starting at $189. Be sure to upload a photo and sign your waiver in your online account. We'll send you a physical Pass this fall which you can use to redeem your visit at your desired resort. If you ever forget it, a government ID such as your Driver's License will work.
Step 4: PLan your visit
Make a reservation or plan your visit your desired resort. Upon arrival, head to the resort’s Ticket window and present your LTT pass or alternative government ID. They will help you get equipped with a lift ticket, rentals, and into a lesson. Don't forget to bring extra layers to stay warm!
Step 5: enjoy your ski days
Use your pass for up to three days of lift tickets, lessons, and rentals.
