Your CSCUSA Gold Pass is an RFID card.

It can be used direct-to-lift at most of our 19 member resorts and can be redeemed for an all-day adult lift ticket or a season pass at the remainder.

 


 

If you plan to use your Gold Pass at Granby Ranch, you must sign a waiver on your first visit to the resort. You will also be required to buy a $5 Granby Ranch RFID card that will be good for the entire season. Visit www.granbyranchski.com to sign the waiver in advance of your first visit.

The Gold Pass is unlimited and unrestricted and can be used every day during the 2025–26 ski season between opening and closing days.

Please note that each Gold Pass can only be used by one person, once a day, at one ski resort per day. 

Your Gold Pass is valid for the entire 2025–26 ski season between opening and closing days.

There are no restrictions or blackout dates.

It means you can share the wealth!

Your Gold Pass may be shared with any person you designate for the same unlimited, unrestricted, season-long access.

But please remember that each Gold Pass can only be used by one person, once a day, at one ski resort per day. What that means is that you cannot go through a gate with a Gold Pass and then hand that pass back to your lucky friend. If you’re skiing with a friend, that lucky friend needs a second Gold Pass.

So go ahead!—share a Gold Pass with a lucky friend or a prospective client or with an outstanding employee as a reward for a job well done. Or you could use your three Gold Passes to take your two adorable grandchildren skiing one weekend.

In Colorado Ski Country USA, friends don’t let friends—or grandkids!—ski alone.

Your Gold Pass is fully transferable, so you can share the wealth.

By all means, loan your Gold Pass to a family member, friend, client, or colleague, and feel free to share your second, third, or fourth Gold Pass with others.

But please don’t hand a Gold Pass back to a second person at any of our resort ticket gates—even if that second person is your partner or your bestie!

Each Gold Pass can only be used by one person, once a day, at one ski resort per day.

Do not bend, punch a hole in, or store your Gold Pass with other RFID-enabled cards. Doing so may damage the pass.

Damage to the embedded RFID transmitter will cause the card to stop functioning.

Replacement cards are $100 per card.

If you damage your Gold Pass, please email CSCUSA Pass Program Manager Derek Dvorak at derek@coloradoski.com.

The CSCUSA office can assist with replacement passes, Monday–Friday, during business hours.

Replacement cards are $100 per card.

If you are at one of the 19 member resorts that accept CSCUSA Gold Passes and your pass does not scan, please bring your pass to a ticket window, where they will assist you.

If you lose your Gold Pass, please email CSCUSA Pass Program Manager Derek Dvorak at derek@coloradoski.com.

The CSCUSA office can assist with replacement passes, Monday–Friday, during business hours. Replacement cards are $100 per card.

You will need to reference the number of your lost Gold Pass. Please refer to the card on which your Gold Pass was adhered for your Gold Pass number. You will find your Gold Pass number written in calligraphy, under “Keep this for your records.”
