The Unlimited Season Pass is valid beginning the first day of the ski season, typically in mid-December, and ending the last day of the season, typically in mid-March. At certain times during the season including early and late season or during times of weather variations, Ski Big Bear may not be available for skiing when this pass is valid. No credit or refund will be processed for these closings.
All guests are required to have a valid RFID card with their name on it to ski or snowboard, including those taking a group or private lesson. New RFID cards were instituted in the 2021 - 2022 season and may be reloaded season after season. If you do not already have one, please include purchase of a new reloadable RFID card in your season pass purchase and a $5 media fee will be applied. Pick up your RFID card at the ski area ticket windows. You can pick up your RFID card in advance of the day you want to ski to avoid lines. If you were issued an RFID card in the 2021 - 2022 season or later and that card is linked to your eCommerce account, your season pass will be automatically loaded onto your existing card, and you will be able to go directly to the lift. You can ensure that your RFID card is linked to your eCommerce account by confirming that your webcode as shown in your eCommerce account matches the webcode printed on your RFID card. If you have lost your RFID card, you can still purchase your season pass online and pick up your new card at the ticket window. This process deactivates your old RFID card and creates a new card with the same webcode.
Do not damage, destroy or discard your RFID card. Re-using this card will save you the media fee on future purchases. This card is subject to wear and tear under normal use and will need replacement at the expense of the purchaser at some point in the future. Please place your RFID card in your left jacket or pants pocket as sensors will read the card on the left side of your body. We suggest placing cell phones in your right pocket to avoid card deactivation.
If you had a 2023 – 2024 season pass and purchase a 2024 – 2025 Unlimited Season Pass by September 30, 2024, you are eligible for a discounted season pass renewal rate of $375. The discount is applied automatically when you select a 2023 – 2024 season passholder as the party member for whom you wish to purchase the 2024 – 2025 Unlimited Season Pass. Please note that the webcode assigned to the party member in your eCommerce account must match the webcode of the RFID card associated with the 2022 – 2023 season pass for the discount to be applied. If the discount is not automatically applied, that may indicate that a duplicate profile exists for the passholder. Please contact us at BigBear@ski-bigbear.com to correct the issue so that the discount may be applied prior to checkout. Discounts are not applied retroactively.
