Season Passes
The best value for skiers and riders who frequent Okemo Mountain Resort is the purchase of a season pass. Okemo offers a variety of options to suit every budget. Okemo’s Sunday One-Day Season Pass is a great “starter” pass for weekend day-trippers and it is priced right at $399 for adults. This direct-to-lift season pass has three blackout dates, but is valid all other Sundays throughout the season. On the other end of the spectrum, Okemo’s Ultra Pass is the top-of-the-line offering. This completely unrestricted pass is valid every day of the season. It includes added-value benefits such as early lift access and discounts on lessons, rentals, culinary and more. The Ultra Pass, priced at $1,619 for adults, includes access to the lifts at Okemo, Mount Sunapee, Crested Butte and Stratton. Four additional season pass options means there is a season-long solution for every budget and lifestyle.
Partial Day
Partial-day lift tickets are another great way to save. In addition to its popular half-day lift ticket offer, Okemo offers a partial-day lift ticket that starts at 2 p.m. Perfect for eager overnight guests who arrive prior to check-in, this lift ticket option is just $39 for adults, $35 for Young Adults and Seniors, and $29 for Juniors and Super Seniors. This discount ticket deal is available every day with no restrictions.
Ski & Stay
Combining lift tickets with lodging is one of the best ways to save on a winter getaway. Overnight guests who book their stay at an Okemo Mountain Resort managed property will enjoy the convenience of charging goods and services directly to their room account at nearly 100 sales points across the resort. As an added bonus, guests who book a minimum of three midweek (Sunday through Thursday) nights will automatically receive a resort credit that they can access immediately after checking in. The resort credit varies according to lodging type and location. More information is available at 1-800-78-OKEMO.
Multi-day
The purchase of multiple, consecutive days of skiing and snowboarding leads to incremental savings. A more convenient and flexible way to save on multiple days of skiing and riding is the purchase of Okemo’s 8-Pack and 12-Pack. The Okemo 8-Pack is a pre-purchase of eight unrestricted, single, full-day lift tickets for the price of seven. The 8-Pack is valid every day of the 2011/2012 season with no restrictions and it is transferable between family and friends. It may be applied toward the purchase of one or two tickets per day. When purchased prior to Nov. 12, pricing is: Adults $578; Young Adults/Seniors $508; Juniors/Super Seniors $389. The Okemo 12-Pack is a pre-purchase of 12 unrestricted, single, full-day lift tickets for the price of ten. The 12-Pack is valid every day of the 2011/2012 season, with no restrictions and it is transferable between family and friends. It may be applied toward the purchase of up to three tickets per day. When purchased prior to Nov. 12, pricing is: Adults $820; Young Adults/Seniors $720; Juniors/Super Seniors $550. As an added bonus, 8-Pack and 12-Pack holders can present their valid packs at the Crested Butte, Colo., lift ticket window to save 25 percent on multi-day lift ticket rates all season long.
