UTAH — Even though we’re enjoying the warm weather and summer activities, it’s not too early to start thinking about which winter ski pass might be best for you and your family. Most passes offer discounts for early purchases, so planning ahead can save you money (and the headache of scrambling at the last minute!). 

Utah’s multi-resort season passes are a great option if you love variety in your skiing or snowboarding experiences. These passes offer flexibility, diversity, and more opportunities to enjoy The Greatest Snow on Earth® in Utah’s mountains.

Utah ski resorts participate in several popular season pass programs. This means easier and more affordable access to some of Utah’s best skiing and riding. Note that some of these passes offer access to resorts outside of Utah as well, but for now, we will just be discussing the best for Utah-specific. Let’s take a dive into the upcoming 2024/2025 winter season! 

IKON PASS 

The Ikon Pass offers great options for Utah skiers and snowboarders and is arguably one of my most popular passes for those on the Wasatch Front. The ikon pass gives unlimited access to Solitude Mountain Resort and limited access to Brighton, Deer Valley, Snowbird, Alta, and Snowbasin. The top-tier Ikon Pass provides Utah lovers with unlimited access at Solitude Mountain Resort, seven days at Brighton, seven days at Deer Valley, seven shared days between Alta/Snowbird, and seven days at Snowbasin. OR, for a bit less, you can grab the Ikon Base Pass, which (includes blackout dates) and gets you unlimited access to Solitude Mountain Resort and five days at Brighton.

IKON: Adult $1,359 | Young Adult $1,019 | Child $429 | 4 & Under $149

Ikon Base: $969 | Young Adult $699 | Child $359 | 4 & Under $99

College, Military, and Nurses Discounts available

EPIC PASS 

The Epic Pass offers unlimited access to Park City Mountain with no blackout dates AND summer lift access. This is a very popular pass for those on the Wasatch Back. The Epic Local Pass will save you a couple of hundred dollars and still get you unlimited access to Park City Mountain’s 7,300 acres, but there are a few blackout dates to note.

Epic Pass: Adult $1004 | Child $512 

Epic Local: Adult $746 | Child $388

College, Military, and Adaptive Discounts are available 

MOUNTAIN COLLECTIVE – 

Mountain Collective’s Utah partner resorts include Alta Ski Area, Snowbasin Resort, and Snowbird. A great option for those who may be visiting Utah & would like to experience some of the best resorts we have to offer. Each Mountain Collective® pass holder receives 2 days at each Collective destination, plus 1 bonus third day at a resort of your choice (while supplies last), 50% off all additional days at Collective destinations, special lodging deals at Mountain Collective® locations, and the best part? There are no blackout dates.

Adult: $629 | Teens: $509 | Kids $229

Ski Utah Passport – 

This is a cool one for the kiddos! Any 4th, 5th, or 6th Grader in the world can apply! For $69, your 4th, 5th, and 6th grader can ski or ride three times at each of Utah’s 15 resorts—that’s 45 days on the mountain! Ski Utah wants to encourage our kids to participate in the great outdoors, but more importantly, they want them to learn and develop excellent skiing or snowboarding skills! This Passport Program is designed to offer a unique opportunity and the chance to experience all that our Utah Ski Resorts offer at a great and reasonable price.

$69, Price increases to $89 on December 1

YETI PASS – 

The Yeti Pass is good for one lift ticket at every Utah ski and snowboard resort during the season, with no blackout dates! Utah’s skiing is renowned for its 15 fantastic resorts, each with its unique qualities. If you’re eager to experience them all or have a 4th, 5th or 6th grader with the Ski Utah Passport, the Ski Utah Yeti Pass is the perfect companion.
