Season Passes offer great value and convenience if you plan to spend a lot of time on the slopes next winter. They offer unlimited skiing or riding throughout the season. They give the ultimate in flexibility, being able to skip the hassle of buying day passes and directly accessing the lifts throughout the season. They also open up a range of discounts at our snow sports school and retail stores and privileges at other ski areas around the world.

We have some new products that you can add on to your 2013 Season Pass. These extend the value of your Season pass and open up more skiing and riding opportunities. There are a few rules and conditions about Season Passes that you should be familiar with. Please make sure you read all the Terms and Conditions before you purchase your pass.

How to Purchase

The quickest and easiest way to purchase is to use our dedicated on-line Season Pass store using your credit card. The on-line store will take you through a simple step by step process to select the products that are right for you. If you are buying before the end of the Early Bird period you will be offered an instalment payment plan that spreads the initial cost out in the months prior to the opening of the 2013 season.

The process is even easier if you have had a pass with us before as we probably have most of the information we need. If the on-line store doesn't work for you, you can print off an application form and post it in with the appropriate details. Please note that any applications submitted by post, fax or in person will incur an additional $20 administration fee.

Enquiries

You can email us with any enquiries at info@nzski.com. Please provide as much info as you can if you have had a pass with us before so we can find you in our database. You can call us free if in New Zealand on 0800 NZSKIPASS (697 547). In Australia call on 1800 365 696. International calls can be made to +64 3 450 1970.

Opening Dates

Mother Nature will decide in the end but our planned opening dates for the 2013 season are;

• Coronet Peak - Saturday June 8th
• Mt Hutt - Saturday June 15th
• The Remarkables - Saturday June 22nd

The mypass Card

If you have visited us since 2010 you will have been given a mypass card and hopefully you still have it. If you had a Season Pass in 2012 all you need to do is buy a 2013 Season Pass and it will be loaded on your card all ready to go, there's nothing more to do. If you had a 2010 or 2011 Season Pass your mypass card is all good to go once you have had a new photo taken at Guest Services. If you have a gold mypass card, bring it back to Guest services and we will swap it for a blue Season Pass card.

Photographs

Traditional season passes displayed a photograph of the pass holder. The mypass system stores your photograph so we can be sure the rightful owner of the pass is the person using it at lifts and other points on the mountain. If you had a season pass with us in 2012, great news, we have your photo on file so once you have purchased a 2013 season pass you can go straight to the lifts once they open. If you had an earlier pass or haven't had one before you will need to visit our Guest Services desk to have a photo taken and your pass issued.

Pass Holder Discounts

Your 2013 Season Pass offers some great discounts on other products and services. The following discounts are available on all three NZSki ski areas on presentation of your valid Season Pass;

• 25% off afternoon group lessons (subject to availability, check with the Snow Sports desk on the day)
• 10% discount at retail outlets (does not apply to sale items or other special offers)

This takes only a moment but we recommend you do it well before the first day you want to visit the mountains - no one wants to wait in a queue when they could be on the snow!
