Expand Their system was down so I couldn’t buy it ahead online, so waited at Guest Service. She asked when he turned 6 and I said next month, and she said that because they wouldn’t be open before his 6th birthday he couldn’t get a child pass. I told her that the website just said that it had to be processed by showing up at Guest Services with his birth certificate prior to his birthday. Then she said that their policy was age on Jan 15 to determine eligibility. I repeated what the website had said when it was working. She chatted with someone and processed it and it took 3 minutes after that. Edited October 23, 2021 by enjoralas Quote

For advanced and expert skiers the reverse is true. Quote

NMSKI Posted November 1, 2021 Report Posted November 1, 2021 I went on a plane ticket buying spree on Friday and booked some flights for Jackson Hole and Taos. Also reserved a weekend in Vermont and a couple nights at the Anthracite Inn for some skiing in little Vermont (Elk). We'll see what else I can pull off when the time gets closer.
