What’s New in 2025/26
A Smoother Purchasing Experience
Bogus Basin is launching a new point-of-sale (POS) system, bringing a modern, streamlined experience for season pass holders.
What’s changing?
✅ New Season Passes Required – With this system upgrade, all pass holders will need a new physical season pass for 2025/26 — previous pass media cards cannot be reloaded.
✅ Improved Online Experience – A brand-new e-commerce site makes it easier than ever to purchase your pass.
✅ Tap & Mobile Pay – Once the system is fully in place, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and tap-to-pay options will be available for faster transactions across the mountain.
What do you need to do?
💻 Create Your Account – You need to create an account in our new database. Every guest over 16 years old is required to add an email address.
♻️ Recycle Your Old Card – Any old passes or tickets to Bogus Basin need to be recycled at the mountain on your last day of the 2024/25 season.
This system is a huge step forward for Bogus Basin, ensuring a more convenient and hassle-free experience for all season pass holders.

Keeping the Outdoors Within Reach
At Bogus Basin, we believe everyone should have access to the outdoors—families, young adults, and lifelong skiers alike. This season, we’ve lowered Family Pass prices, making it easier for families to spend time together on the mountain and ensuring more kids grow up active, adventurous, and connected to nature. We’ve also deepened the discount on the Young Adult True Bogus and Winter Passes so young adults can commit to a full season without stretching their budget.
Time in the mountains isn’t just about riding — it’s about health, well-being, and community. By reducing costs on key season pass products, we’re keeping fresh air, fresh snow, and time together within reach — for this season and for generations to come.
Limited Season Passes
Bogus Basin season passes are the best deal on the mountain, and the demand continues to grow. To preserve the experience you love, we’ve again reduced the number of season passes available for sale. This decision allows us to further manage parking congestion at peak arrival times and balance access across all 12-13 hours of daily operations.
We don’t have an overcrowding issue on the slopes, but a handful of peak days bring arrival and parking difficulties. Adjusting True Bogus and Winter season pass quantities and offering a variety of other pass options allows us to welcome more guests each year — without compromising what makes Bogus Basin unique: the on-snow experience.
In past years, anytime passes were available until early or late fall, but with this year’s changes, they may no longer be available after the 10-day Season Pass Sale.

The Passport Program

What’s Included?
✅ Four beginner lessons with expert instructors to teach you the right way from day one.
✅ Full-season rental/lease equipment, so you don’t have to invest in gear upfront.
✅ A 2025/26 Winter Pass, so you can ride all season after your lessons.
🚨 Spring 2025 Passport holders get the rest of this season and a 2025/26 Winter Pass, so you can start now and ride all next year!
Why Choose the Passport Program?
Thinking of getting a pass, picking up some used gear, and learning on your own or with a friend? While that might seem like a good idea, starting with the right instruction and properly fitted gear makes all the difference in how quickly you progress and how much fun you have.
🔹 Learn the right way the first time – A friend might try to help, but expert instructors will teach you the fundamentals properly, helping you progress faster and avoid bad habits.
🔹 No gear hassle – Used gear can be the wrong size or outdated, making learning harder. With a full-season rental/lease, you’ll always have modern, well-fitted equipment designed to help you improve.
🔹 More than just lessons — it’s a full season of progression – Unlike a single lesson, the Passport Program includes four sessions of instruction and gives you a full-season pass afterward, so you can keep riding and building skills all winter long.
Skiing and snowboarding aren’t just sports — they’re lifelong passions. Start strong, progress faster, and have more fun with the Passport Program!
Flex Passes
Your Ticket to Flexible Access
Looking for a pass that fits your schedule? Flex Passes offer pre-loaded lift tickets at a discounted rate, giving you the freedom to ride when it works for you — without committing to a full season pass.
Flex Pass Options:
🎟 Any Four Flex Pass – Four lift tickets, pre-loaded to your pass, ready for you to use any day of the season.
🎿 Holiday Three-Peat Flex Pass – Three holiday lift tickets valid December 20th, 2025 – January 4th, 2026, January 19th, 2026, and February 16th, 2026 — perfect for those who want to ride during the holidays.
Flex Passes are only available in limited quantities during our Fall Flash Sale! Once they’re gone, they’re gone — so be ready to grab yours before they sell out.
But let’s be honest — if you’re considering a Flex Pass, you should probably get the Value Pass instead. For just a little more, you’ll be able to ride every day, with some peak-hour restrictions, and never have to ration your days!
The Frontier Point Season Pass
