🚗 Spring Ski Savings — The Best Deals Just Dropped for SoCal Skiers 🏔️
The lowest ski prices of the year just dropped — here’s where to save.

Hey Ski Fam,
Let’s cut to it.
Most people think ski season is ending.
Smart skiers know something different.
Spring is when the best ski deals of the entire year appear.
Every season around this time, passes quietly go on sale.
Prices drop.
Resorts start offering spring bonuses.
And if you pay attention…
you can lock in next winter for hundreds less.
I’ve watched this pattern for years.
The skiers who grab these deals now?
They’re the ones smiling next winter while everyone else pays full price.
Let me show you the big ones that just dropped.
🎿 Ikon Pass Just Went On Sale
This is the big one.
The 26/27 Ikon Pass just launched.
For SoCal skiers, this pass is huge.
It unlocks access to:
• Mammoth Mountain
• Bear Mountain
• Snow Summit
• Snow Valley
• plus 50+ global destinations
If Mammoth is part of your winter routine, the Ikon Pass is usually the backbone of a season.
Why buy now?
Because spring launch pricing is typically the lowest price of the year.
🏔️ Mountain High Pass — Closest Snow to LA
If you live in Los Angeles or Orange County, you already know the magic of quick laps at Mountain High.
Their 26/27 season passes are now on sale.
Many include a spring bonus perk.
Buy the pass now and ski the rest of this spring free.
That means:
• night laps after work
• quick Saturday morning runs
• no lift ticket lines
Here’s the current pass offer:
For busy SoCal professionals trying to squeeze in ski days, Mountain High is one of the easiest mountains to keep your legs sharp.
🌄 Cali Pass — The Underrated California Pass
The 26/27 Cali Pass is now on sale starting at $679
(lowest price through April 30).
It includes access to:
• Mountain High
• Dodge Ridge
• China Peak
• Bear Valley
Some buyers may see lower advertised pricing around $249, but that applies to the College Cali Pass or special group offers, not the standard pass.
If you want a multi-mountain pass focused on California, this one is a great value.
🐻 Best Spring Deal Right Now — Big Bear BOGO
If you want an immediate deal, this one is my favorite.
Big Bear Mountain Resort is running a Buy One Get One Free lift ticket deal.
Bring a friend.
Split the cost.
Double the laps.
It works at:
• Bear Mountain
• Snow Summit
Spring skiing at Big Bear is honestly underrated.
You get:
• bluebird skies
• soft afternoon snow
• fun park sessions
• relaxed mountain energy
Perfect conditions for learning tricks or cruising with friends.
☀️ Why Spring Skiing Is My Favorite
Spring skiing feels different.
You get:
• sunshine instead of storms
• softer snow
• longer days
Morning groomers are smooth.
Late morning turns become soft and playful.
And the mountain vibe shifts from serious winter mode to pure fun.
Honestly, it’s when skiing feels the most relaxed.
💡 What’s the Big Lesson?
Most people think skiing ends in spring.
Experienced skiers know better.
Spring is the planning season.
It’s when you:
• lock in next winter’s pass
• grab the lowest prices
• score bonus spring laps
So here’s the mantra I teach all my students.
Repeat after me.
🎿 “Smart skiers buy winter in the spring.”
Or as my dad used to say when we’d grab early deals:
“The best turns start with the best timing.”
