HUNTSVILLE, Utah — Snowbasin Resort, a top-rated ski destination, announced the launch of its 2026–27 season passes, featuring new Value Pass options, additional passholder perks and expanded flexibility, including immediate access to the mountain for the remainder of the current season with the purchase of any pass. Looking ahead to summer, the resort will also begin construction on a new lower-mountain Bike Park, continuing its investment in year-round recreation.

For the 2026–27 season, Snowbasin is expanding both its Premier and Value Pass offerings to provide more options for guests. The Value Pass lineup now includes new Young Adult, Teen and Youth tiers alongside Adult, Senior, Midweek and Free Child options. Premier Pass holders will also see the introduction of the Best Buddy Pass, giving early purchasers the opportunity to share a complimentary lift ticket with a friend. Graduated payment options will allow guests to spread payments through September, with installment plans ranging from five payments for early purchasers to shorter plans available later in the sales period.

“Over the years we’ve worked hard to create more ways for people to access this sport,” said Davy Ratchford, Chief Operating Officer and General Manager of Snowbasin Resort. “Programs like Learn & Earn and the expansion of our Value Pass options are all part of that effort. Our goal is to support families and younger skiers so more people can experience the mountain together.”

Snowbasin will offer several pass options for the 2026–27 season:

Premier Passes

The Premier Pass offers unlimited skiing and riding with no blackout dates and the option to upgrade to a Premier Platinum Pass. With the upgrade, passholders may receive either a 2026–27 Ikon Base Pass for an additional $400 or a full Ikon Pass for an additional $900, granting access to 50 destinations worldwide.

Coming this summer, the resort will debut Meadow Lodge, a new Sprung Structure located in the base area near the ticket yurt. The lodge will provide a shaded and weather-protected gathering space designed to support year-round dining, events and guest activities, expanding comfort and flexible event capacity at the resort base.

Snowbasin’s previously announced partnerships with SCOTT Sports and Insta360 will continue into the summer season, highlighted by the development of the new lift-served Bike Park, Powered by SCOTT. Construction on the park will begin this summer off the Littlecat Express. The park will feature beginner-friendly trails winding through mellow terrain with skill features and gentle turns, alongside intermediate and advanced flow trails with tabletops and wooden elements. Insta360 will continue its presence at the Grizzly Center, providing guests access to camera technology throughout the warmer months.
