A season pass buys you the freedom to ski or snowboard whenever you want without ever paying full price for a day on the mountain—all you need to do is use it at least a handful of times. Skip the ticket line, show up only for the best conditions, and go home when you’re ready without feeling obligated to ride from first to last chair. Bonus deals included with passes from local resorts are also pretty incredible. The list of free and discount tickets to other resorts and additional perks are worth the pass price all on their own.
