May 11, 2022 --Next year's season passes are selling at such a record pace that we have reached our first tier level pricing adjustment well ahead of the traditional May 31 price deadline. As announced in our blog in April, prices will dynamically increase with the demand. Wednesday we reached the first tier level and prices have been increased accordingly.
According to Vice President of Sales and Marketing Dave Tragethon, "Passes are selling at an historic rate - far surpassing last year's then record pace. In the last ten days, our sales are triple the amount during the same time frame last year. As we reach our tiered threshold targets, we will continue to increase pass pricing incrementally as a tool to manage our visitation to improve the overall guest experience. We expect that we will reach a point where we will cut off All Access pass sales, as we have the past two seasons." Tragethon says Meadows will continue this approach both with season passes and with lift tickets for the 2022/23 season, using dynamic pricing until limits are reached. FAQ: Managing or limiting All Access Upgrades as well as Value Passes. Those who purchase by May 31 will receive a free unrestricted lift ticket to bring a friend (or use yourself on a peak day if you just have a Value Pass) and a free Nordic Track Fee for one day access.
Multi-year renewal pricing
As in the past multi-year renewals (those who renew a pass they’ve had for the last two or more consecutive seasons) receive a discount from the new pass price. After May 31 renewing a multi-year pass will be the same price as a new pass. Pricing on season passes are dynamic and may increase again before May 31 depending on pass sales.

Value Pass is a tremendous deal!
The Value Pass provides every day access to Meadows - but on certain days (we call them Peak Days) it is not valid until 2 PM. Peak Days are December 26, 2022 - January 1, 2023; Saturdays and Sundays in January and February through March 5; and MLK and President’s Monday holidays. On those days, the Value Pass is valid starting at 2 PM until closing - all other days the Value Pass is good from opening until closing.
Mountain Exchange for All Access Pass Holders
The All Access upgrade allows access every day from open until close - so if having access on those Peak Day mornings is important to you, you should get the upgrade sooner rather later. All Access Pass purchasers are also part of the reciprocal mountain exchange program which is still being finalized. We have finalized agreements with Sugar Bowl and Schweitzer for similar exchange arrangements as this season - three free days (some restrictions apply). We have verbal agreements but waiting on final details from Mt. Baker, Whitefish and Brundage.

Specialty Passes on sale now as well
In the past we waited until the fall to put our Specialty Passes on sale, but this season they are available for purchase along with our Value and All Access Passes. These products are also dynamically priced and prices will increase until they reach their limits.
We have also changed the hours of access for our Night Season Pass as well as our night shift tickets - they will be valid from 3 - 9 PM next season. This will help accommodate the turnover in our parking lots on Peak Days that the current 2 PM start time is causing. Note: The Value Pass will still provide access starting at 2 PM on Peak Days, the same as in the past.
