When processing your season pass, be prepared to have your photograph taken. We will require you to sign a Release of Liability form.
With a OneNiter (your bonus included in the Ski School Lesson Program) you can ski or ride one specified night of the week for the entire season from 4pm to close, with rentals (if you purchased the rental option). We strongly recommend processing your OneNiter Season Pass prior to the start of the season, to avoid line-ups. Ski School members must process their OneNiter season pass prior to the first lesson.
You may take your 5 lessons anytime before March 23, 2008 and ski or ride on the night you have chosen for your OneNiter Pass. Your program includes five 2-hour lessons, a full day lift ticket on the day of your lessons and full day rental (if you purchased the rental option).
