What to book ahead

In the order they run out. Tickets and passes are sold by the organizer or the resort, never by us, so the links go straight to the source.

  1. 1

    Lift tickets, ideally online

    The resort sells them online. Buying ahead saves the ticket window on a holiday or race weekend.

  2. 2

    Rentals and lessons

    Reserve lessons and rentals ahead on a holiday weekend rather than walking up.
