Season Pass FAQ

Season passes go on sale March 9, 2026 at 8am MST. The earlier you buy, the more you save — prices increase at each tier deadline throughout the year.

Season pass pricing increases throughout the year, so purchasing earlier guarantees the best available rate. There are several deadline periods for the general public.

Buying early ensures the lowest price and the most passholder perks.

Brighton offers three season pass options designed for different riding styles. All passes include passholder parking privileges and wraparound benefits, so you can start riding this season and keep the stoke going into the next.

Unlimited Pass: Unlimited access to Brighton with no blackout dates. Perfect for riders who want to ski or ride any day of the season, including holidays. Unlimited passholders also receive Boyne sister resort benefits and are eligible to add Ikon Pass access..

Base Pass: A lower-priced option that still offers unlimited riding most of the season, with limited holiday blackouts. Base Pass riders can enjoy unrestricted twilight access starting at 2pm every day, even during blackout periods.

Off-Peak Pass: A new pass for riders with flexible schedules. The Off-Peak Pass includes daytime riding from 9am–2pm Monday through Friday with limited holiday blackouts, plus unlimited riding from 2pm to close every day. This new pass replaces the previous Midweek and Twilight passes, combining both into one product.

When you purchase a 2026–27 season pass, you can start riding for the rest of the 2025–26 season at no additional cost.

Your wraparound access follows the same access rules as the pass you purchased, including any blackout dates, eligible ride days, and hours of operation.

Wraparound access is valid at Brighton only and does not include Boyne Sister Resort benefits.

Wraparound benefits also include passholder parking privileges, so you can begin reserving parking and enjoying passholder perks right away.
