A commemorative Ski Passport is a printed plastic keepsake card.
You cannot use a commemorative Ski Passport to buy a lift ticket (or anything else, for that matter). You can put it in a scrapbook, stick it on a bulletin board next to your kids’ artwork, or use it as an ice-scraper (although it will take you a looooooooong time to scrape your windshield, as it is the size of a credit card).
Commemorative Ski Passports are available for an additional $25 each through our shop.
