Caberfae Peaks – Season Passes – 2020 / 2021

Caberfae Peaks – Season Passes

The 2020/2021 ski and snowboard SEASON PASSES start at only $199.

Season Pass Holders will NOT be required to make an advance reservation to ski or ride on any given day.  As a season pass holder, you will be able to ski every day that your pass is valid.  If necessary, we may limit skier volume at our resort.  Please note that any volume limitations put into place will not impact season pass holders.

All season passes purchased are non-refundable.  If the ski area is unable to open at all due to COVID-19, all pass monies paid will be applied to the 2021/22 season.  However, once we open and start operating, we will not be giving refunds in the event of a government mandated shut down. We are taking the risk and bearing the considerable expense of making the snow up front to prepare for the season.  We understand that in order to take advantage of our best pricing options, you will also be taking the risk of purchasing a season pass in advance.  If you are uncomfortable with this, we recommend waiting and purchasing daily lift tickets.

Please note that skiing and snowboarding is a healthy, outdoor activity with built-in social distancing, and that we plan to do everything possible to get open and stay open for the 2020/2021 season.  There are many unknowns at this time, however, we do know that we will continue to focus on making and grooming quality snow to give you a first rate experience on some of best ski & snowboard terrain in the state.

SEASON PASS RECIPROCALS

All Caberfae season passholders (Midweek, Weekend & Peak) will received the following  SEASON PASS RECIPROCALS at our neighboring resorts.

SEASON PASS PHOTO PROCESS

Please email pass photos to photos@caberfaepeaks.com when you purchase your pass.  As long as we can see your face, we can resize, cut and crop as needed.  We will also keep your photo on file for future years.  All season passes that we have photos for will be mailed out by Mid-November.
