The 2008-2009 season California Snow Gold Pass is now on sale! This ultimate pass to skiing, snowboarding and cross-country skiing in California and Nevada is honored at participating California Ski Industry Association resorts. The Gold Pass gives you access to the slopes all season without blackout dates and is fully transferable. Share it with your friends, family, clients and colleagues!
The Gold Pass is good for one (1) lift ticket or trail pass at one (1) ski area every day from the beginning to the end of the season. Only one (1) person may use a Gold Pass each day. To use the Gold Pass, skiers and boarders must present it at the Special Tickets or Guest Services window where the Gold Pass number will be logged and a lift ticket issued for the day. Northstar-at-Tahoe, Sierra-at-Tahoe and Sugar Bowl Ski Resort allow Gold Pass holders to bypass the ticket window altogether and ski straight to the slopes! Other resorts are currently considering offering this technology to expedite the check-in process. Gold Pass holders will be notified of any ticketing upgrades or changes at the resorts.
The Gold Pass may be used up to a maximum of fifty (50) times at each participating resort, with the exception of Squaw Valley USA. For the 2008-2009 snow season, Squaw Valley will honor the pass for a maximum of fifteen (15) times.
The Gold Pass is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the high demand and limited quantity of passes, a total number of two (2) passes may be purchased by one individual or company. To obtain your pass, please send the completed application, the signed and dated liability release form, and your payment in the form of a check or money order (we cannot accept credit cards) to:
