Redeem a Trail Pass

Each Punch Pass is valid for one season — October through May. Any unused punches or discounts are not valid the following season.

Each "punch" on your pass is redeemable for a trail pass at the specified resort. Nordic skiing is available at all participating locations. Additional activities are specific to each resort — e.g. snowshoeing, backcountry skiing, or fat biking. Please review the resort's listing on our website/app, or contact the resort for clarification on the activities allowed on their trail systems. Trail passes do not include rental gear or lift access.

Yes. Your Punch Pass is valid for two trail passes at each of the participating resorts. You may choose to share your two trail passes.

No. We are not able to offer refunds for punch pass purchases or unused punches. We understand that injury, illness, or other unforeseen circumstances can change your ski season plans, but we’re unable to make exceptions to our refund policy. The Punch Pass is offered at a discounted rate, and punches can be shared with the understanding that some flexibility is built into its use.

An activation code will be emailed to you after purchase. Anyone can use this code, but it cannot be transferred to another account once used. However, you can use your 2 punches for anyone you would like, so we encourage you to bring a friend and share a punch. If you get a new phone, just download the app and login under your existing account to access your pass.

No, you can only have one active Punch Pass per account, and only one account per device. If you have an additional Punch Pass activation code, such as one for your spouse or child, it must be activated using a different account on a separate device.
