**STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, COLORADO-October 19, 2026-**Mother Nature provide a great reminder that winter is just around the corner with a fresh dusting of snow on local peaks this week. This is your reminder that the most affordable way to enjoy a season of snow is currently on sale – a season pass to historic Howelsen Hill Ski Area.
Season passes are available for purchase online and will be available for purchase and pickup at the Howelsen Hill ticket office during select pre-season hours. The historic ski area offers six pricing categories for passes providing Alpine, Nordic, or Alpine & Nordic access. Our youngest snow lovers (4 and under) continue to be FREE with special options for college, seniors, and families in addition to traditional adult/youth choices.
Again, this winter, a Howelsen Hill season pass provides even more affordability and flexibility with three days access to several resorts including Bogus Basin, Snow King Mountain, Steeplechase, Mont du Lac and more.
Passholders can have their pass preprinted in advance by emailing the ticket office a photo. If the photo is approved, the ticket office requires 48 hours to process the season pass. Pre-season pass pickup hours are posted online.
After purchasing your season pass online, individuals will need to visit the Howelsen Hill Ticket Office to take their pass photo (if not provided in advance) and verify that all liability forms are complete. Details on season passes and all things Howelsen Hill are available through the website.
Historic Howelsen Hill plans to usher in its 111th winter season beginning Saturday, November 28 and running daily through Sunday, March 28 (conditions permitting).
