Sipapu Season Pass FAQs

2024/2025 Season Passes

Did the prices increase over last year?

No, all pass prices have remained the same from last year. 

Which pass should I choose?

Use this handy quiz to help you decide.

How much will Sipapu lift tickets be next season?

Lift tickets are available solely online, and use dynamic pricing based on availability and demand instead of a set window rate. On peak days, you may see rates go over $100, and conversely on non-peak days you may see rates between $10-$31. The earlier you lock in your ski days, the less you’ll pay. Visit our lift ticket page for details.

Why should I buy a season pass if lift tickets will be so low?

A season pass remains the best value for anyone who will ski at least 6 days. Power Pass resorts do not require reservations for passholders, which means you have the freedom to ski whenever you want. Plus, a pass means you don’t have to pick your dates in advance and lock them in early to get the best rate, like we suggest ticket purchasers do.

Don’t forget: when you use our no-interest payment plan, your monthly payments may be less than the cost of a single lift ticket.

Plus! There are lots of perks to being a passholder. Check out our Passholder Benefits page to learn more.

With Which Passes Can I Ski Chile?

The 2024/2025 Power Pass and Power Pass Select both include 7 FREE interconnected days between Valle Nevado and La Parva ski resorts in Chile. That means you can ski at one or both (They are connected! So you could ski both in one day!) resorts for 7 total days in their 2024 ski season. View all benefits here.

What’s the Weekday Power Pass?

New! The Weekday Power Pass grants weekday access to all U.S. Power Pass Mountains. Choose from 1 up to 5 days of weekday skiing all season long and select the days that work best with your schedule (Monday through Friday) for the whole season.

2024/2025 Season Pass Payment Plan

It’s important to purchase your pass by the 14th of the month to maximize the number of payments you have, and to lower your monthly payment. An initial payment charge occurs at the time of purchase. Thereafter, equal monthly charges occur on the 1st of every month until payment for the pass is complete on December 1. Learn More about the Pass Payment Plan

Can I update my credit card online?

Yes, you can update your credit card information right here.

Yes.

Can I use the Sipapu pass payment plan on anything else, like rentals or ski school?

No. At this time, the payment plan is only an option to purchase season passes.

Do I have to wait until my pass is paid in full before I can use it?

No. You may begin using your pass after the initial payment. As long as you are making the monthly payment, you can use your pass anytime. Should you fall behind on your payments your pass will be suspended. Payments that are declined may be charged a $20 administrative fee per incident
