Worry-Free Winter Assurance FAQs

The Worry-Free Winter Assurance plan is designed to alleviate the uncertainty that our guests may have in committing to next season's pass. The Worry-Free Winter Assurance plan is included as part of all Big Sky Resort season passes. We have you covered because we love carving as much as you do! ​

The Worry-Free Winter Assurance plan at Big Sky Resort has two basic parts: ​​

First, we are committed to operating for 125 days during the 2022-23 winter season. If for any reason our season is shortened, we will provide a credit towards the purchase of a 23-24 season pass, based on the percent that the season has been shortened. ​​

Second, if for any reason a passholder needs to defer their pass for the 22-23 season, they have the option to roll over the full value of their pass purchase to the 23-24 season. The pass must be unused and Big Sky Resort must be notified of the passholder's wish to defer their pass by November 23, 2022.

This program is included at no additional cost with all Big Sky Resort season passes.

The Worry-Free Winter Assurance plan will provide a credit toward the purchase of any 23-24 season pass at Big Sky Resort.​​ Season Pass purchases are non-refundable and non-transferable.

If any credit needs to be issued, credits will be calculated by pass type and the number of days impacted below 125 days of operation.

For instance, if the Resort were to operate 118 days—7 days less than 125—a $95 credit would be issued to Gold, Double Black, Black, Blue and Green passholders, and a $55 credit to Flex + passholders.

All age groups will receive the same credit per pass type. The value of any credit issued for your 22-23 pass will be applied to the purchase of any 23-24 season pass. ​

If any credit needs to be issued as a result of operating fewer than 125 days, calculations and credits will be issued after the resort's planned closing date of April 23, 2023. ​

Yes, guests can use their credit towards any 23-24 season pass. Credits will be non-transferable from the original 22-23 pass holder.

In the event that a passholder is restricted from travel due to a local stay-at-home order lasting for at least 30 days, you may be eligible for a pass credit. The resort must be open, and the pass must be unused to receive a credit for the full pass value to be applied for the 23-24 season.
