ARE THERE REALLY NO BLACKOUTS?

The Super Pass has no black outs dates just that you use all your days within a 14-day window that starts on the first day of skiing. 


DO I HAVE TO SKI/BOARD ON CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITH MY MULTI-DAY SUPER PASS?

No. You can schedule your ski days however you like within a 14-day window. Your pass is activated the first day you use it (Day 1), and it expires at the end of Day 14. Sprinkle your down-days throughout your vacation, or string them together and spend some quality time in the city.

CAN I USE MY SUPER PASS AT MORE THAN ONE RESORT PER DAY?

You can use the Super Pass at Brighton Resort and Solitude Mountain Resort on the same day, but otherwise, you're limited to one resort per day. However, you can access both Alta and Snowbird in a single day by upgrading your Super Pass to the Alta/Snowbird ticket. To do this, just take your Super Pass to the ticket window at either Alta or Snowbird, pay an extra fee for the Alta/Bird upgrade, and you're upgraded for that day. Pretty sweet.

 


CAN I PICK THE RESORTS AT WHICH TO USE MY SUPER PASS? DO I HAVE TO SKI/RIDE AT ALL FOUR?
