Reload your lift ticket or season pass
Sky Cards
Get on the mountain quickly by reloading your Big Sky Resort Sky Card from your last visit. Add new lift tickets or season passes for summer and winter and head straight to the lifts.
Lift tickets and season passes for both winter and summer are issued as a Big Sky Resort Sky Card, which you will need to scan through the gates to ride the lifts. Don’t throw your Sky Card away—it can be reused year after year.
If you already have a Sky Card from a previous visit, welcome back! You can load your new lift ticket or season pass onto the card at checkout, and you can head straight to the lifts when you arrive. If you’re not seeing your Sky Card in your account, see our Help Center for instructions on reconnecting it to your profile.
If you don’t have a Sky Card yet, you will purchase one during the checkout process. Initial Sky Cards cost $5. You can pick up new or replacement Sky Cards when you arrive at a Sky Card Express Box by scanning the QR code in your confirmation email.
How to use your Sky Card

- Pick up your Sky Card here in Big Sky by scanning the QR code in your purchase confirmation email. Find a Sky Card Express Station to print your pass.
- Keep your Sky Card in your pocket. Make sure it’s by itself without your phone, credit card, or other RFID cards.
- Scan through the gates to load the lift. If it’s not registering, you may have to remove the Sky Card from your pocket.
