Turn Your Season Pass into Smart Season Pass And Never Carry Cash Or Credit Cards On Mountain Again

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, CO-March 9, 2015-Steamboat unveiled its 2015/16 season pass pricing today, bringing back for another season a broad variety of flexible pass programs and significant value for Steamboat-Ski Town, U.S.A.® guests. Passes will again be offered at the guaranteed lowest prices of the year starting at 7:00am on Tuesday, March 10, 2015.

“While there is still a+ month to go this winter, it’s never too early to start thinking about the next ski and snowboard season in Steamboat,” said Rob Perlman, senior vice president of sales and marketing. “Right now we’re offering Steamboat’s lowest pricing on season passes for a winter full of fun. We’re bringing back popular programs such as the Kids/Grandkids Ski Free pass program, First Tracks and Night Passes, while also providing a wide array of products to deliver flexibility and fit your on-mountain needs.”

Steamboat’s unrestricted adult season pass offers incredible value for the high frequency skier and rider from start to finish of the season. For the 30th season, when a parent, grandparent or legal guardian purchases an unrestricted adult Steamboat Season Pass, one child (12 & under) will receive a FREE child season pass and each additional child or teen in the same family enjoys $30 savings. The 2015/16 season is expected to run from Wednesday, November 25, 2015 (Scholarship Day-season passes valid starting 11/26) to Sunday, April 10, 2016.

As an added bonus, pass holders can reload their individual pass with special $49 tickets for Steamboat-15 and $59 tickets for Steamboat-6 with no restrictions. Steamboat-6 and -15 pass holders may redeem unused days for summer gondola access.

Never carry cash or a credit card on the mountain again. Enjoy the flexibility to make purchases simply with your season pass.
