- Parking is first-come, first-served, and is not guaranteed with the purchase of your lift ticket. We recommend arriving by at least 8 AM on weekends + holidays.
- Sign your waivers online now to get on snow faster. Get faster to the fun when you sign your Lift Ticket waiver ahead of time.
- Your lift ticket or 3-PAK will be RFID enabled, meaning a chip inside of it will automatically open a gate to allow you to load the lift once you have your card. Your RFID card(s) will print.
