2023-24 ski season passes, programs available

Passes and programs for Whitefish Mountain Resort’s 2023-24 ski season went on sale online last Wednesday, April 5.

“This ski season may be wrapping up, but it’s not too early to start preparing for the next one,” resort spokesman Chad Sokol said. “Season passes will be available at their lowest prices through Sept. 30, and anyone interested in our instruction programs should sign up as soon as possible. Our kids’ programs and Freestyle Teams are in high demand and always fill up fast.”

Kids’ programs include the popular Half Pints and Buckaroos programs as well as the Freestyle Teams. Parents are encouraged to act quickly for the best chance of securing spots in these programs.

Adult instruction programs will be available as well. Adult programs are open to skiers and snowboarders with some experience who are looking to improve their skills. Program groups meet with instructors eight times over a nine-week period during the winter operating season. Details can be found at skiwhitefish.com/programs.

Payment plans will be available for passes and programs. Parking permits for the Cedar lot will be available for purchase. Anyone who currently rents a seasonal locker or holds a Birch parking permit will be able to renew.

Guests should be advised Whitefish Mountain Resort no longer offers a “no questions asked” refund policy for season pass purchases. This policy was introduced in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the country has returned to less restrictive COVID policies, the resort is returning to its pre-pandemic refund policy. Details can be found at skiwhitefish.com/pass-reimbursement.

Season passes will be $739 for adults, $629 for seniors and $165 for super senior (age 70-plus) at the early-bird rate if purchased before Sept. 30, 2023. Full details on pricing at skiwhitefish.com
