Helpful Tips:
- Before heading to the lifts or collecting your Rental Equipment you will need to get your MyPass Card. This is your ticket to the mountain and you can print it from one of our Kiosks by scanning the barcode in your order confirmation email or by visiting Guest Services.
- You can visit the team at the Snow Centre, 25 Shotover St in the afternoon the day before you head up the mountain. Here you can pick up your MyPass Card then get fitted and collect your Rental Equipment.
- Alternatively, plan to be on the mountain one hour before your lesson start time to collect your MyPass Card from our Kiosks or Guest Services and your Rental Equipment.
- Allow extra travel time during peak times or winter conditions
