Your guide to the Australian season pass market

How to navigate the evolving season pass market during the flight of the early birds

Since 2015 when Vail entered the sun burnt country and later Ikon and Mountain Collective, the season pass market has become confusing but buying the early bird is even more important now because of expensive late bird prices and even more expensive day tickets.

We have unpacked the main players that access the big five ski resorts here in Australia. See our summary table below. What we have discovered is that short of one pass for all five resorts the Aussie market is actually pretty good value.

For the people that have a clear home resort the choice is pretty simple. But for those of you that aren’t tethered all the options can be a little daunting but know that the only bad decision you can make now is to not buy a ticket at all.

See you on the lifts next season.
