Aspen Snowmass announces the season pass structure and pricing for the 2017-18 season as passes will officially go on sale Monday, Aug. 14.

Season pass sales mark the official start to the upcoming ski season, which always adds an air of excitement to the Valley, says Mike Kaplan, President and CEO, Aspen Skiing Company. We continue to make sure that all-ages and abilities have a pass option that suits their lifestyle best. Whether purchasing a Flex Pass for those who ski once a week, or the Parents Pass which grants flexibility to families, we hope to provide great options for all skiers and riders. We look forward to another amazing season here at Aspen Snowmass with plenty of powder pancakes, a calendar full of activities such as Ullr Nights and Cliffhouse Full Moon Dinners, as well as the celebration of Snowmass Ski Areas 50th anniversary.
