* Rental pass. A new unlimited ski (or snowboard) rental pass reduces the hassle factor, eliminates luggage fees and gives you a season-long quiver of the latest and greatest high-tech skis or snowboards for $359 (premium package is about $100 more).

* Holidays Free. Your Holidays are on Us with a new deal that offers a free night of lodging on the six most popular holidays (Christmas, New Year’s, etc) when you purchase four holiday nights at our RockResorts from the Rockies to the beaches of St. Lucia.
