Fully Transferable Pass Provides Unlimited Skiing at 21 Premier Colorado Resorts

Denver, Colo. – July 27, 2009 – Colorado Ski Country USA (CSCUSA) announced today that the exclusive Colorado Gold Pass is now available for the 2009-10 ski season. The transferable pass, good for unlimited skiing and riding at member resorts, can be purchased for $2,750.    

The Colorado Gold Pass is widely considered the most coveted ski pass in the ski community. Unlike many lift tickets, the Gold Pass does not have any black out dates, therefore resorts will accept the pass every day of the season. Additionally, Colorado Gold Pass holders enjoy direct-to-lift access at just about every resort, which means skiers and riders are not required to stop by the ticket office – a handy feature for Colorado’s frequent powder days. The unique transferability of the pass means that the purchaser can easily share the pass with employees, clients, family and friends.  

 Available in limited quantities, the Gold Pass is the only pass of its kind in Colorado. “The Colorado Gold Pass features all of the best pass-perks rolled into one: unlimited days at Colorado’s best ski resorts, full transferability and direct-to-lift access,” explains Melanie Mills, president and CEO of Colorado Ski Country USA. “It’s a sensible option for businesses and people that want to loan it out to clients and associates, or those who want to use it themselves on a powder day.”    

CSCUSA Colorado Gold Pass purchasers also enjoy added benefits of owning the pass, not the least of which is entrée into Colorado’s world-famous ski industry, complete with an invitation to Colorado Ski Country USA’s 47th Annual Meeting. Pass holders also enjoy access to the Gold Pass concierge service, the added benefit of a personal contact to assist when unplanned circumstances arise.  

 Members of CSCUSA that are honoring the Colorado Gold Pass for the 2009-10 season include: Arapahoe Basin, Aspen Highlands, Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk, Copper Mountain, Crested Butte, Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort, Echo Mountain, Eldora, Howelsen Hill, Loveland Ski Area, Monarch Mountain, Powderhorn, Ski Cooper, Snowmass, SolVista Basin, Steamboat, Sunlight Mountain Resort, Telluride, Winter Park and Wolf Creek.   The Colorado Gold Pass is among the fixtures of the Colorado skiing experience; premiere resorts, blue bird skies and abundant snow.

As a lifelong Colorado resident, this pass is for rich douchebags. I sure wish I had 2,750$ to drop a season so I can get a VIP pass to every mountain! How about the rival resorts make it easier for friends to ski together and offer combi-passes with the vail resorts and intrawest? And I guess only recently has Transworld become a total advertising outlet for companies that pay the right price.

not cool!

I agree with you eRock. Spent years in the mountains of Colorado and it would be nice to have such a pass but you still aren’t allowed to go to Vail resorts so you miss out on a ton of good stuff. Why not just make all resorts affordable????????

I love how everyone wants everything dirt cheap. Try running a business and you will find out it is much more difficult to stay in business if you make everything cheap. It takes money to pay employees, pay energy costs, etc. Yes it would be great if everybody could ride for free, but it aint going to happen. Winter Park and Copper’s season passes are only $379 for the season. That’s pretty cheap, so there you go! If you don’t like what they charge, go ride somewhere else. You can always hike Berthoud for free!

Yeah ya douche! Of course everything aint free, they are charging almost $3k of the damn thing. You could almost buy a season pass at every resort for that amount! Go suck a big fat steezy D

its not a matter of cheap, its a matter of being reasonable. This pass is clearly not meant for the day-trippers, and most mountain locals. it’s probably best for a business like CO Ski and Golf to hand out to their employees as a perk, etc..

then again $2750 is not that far of a cry from telluride’s, crusty’s or Aspen’s season pass price. We have it cheap here in the front range.

so “tool”, you really think you could buy a season pass to every resort in colorado for that price. Sounds like you are the douche to think that! Telluride, Aspen and Steamboat are all over a grand each so that alone is more than the Gold pass. Stop your whining, get a sled, and then you can hit all the freshies you want douche!

$2,750 is not cheap at ALL!! $2,750 is only for the rich bastards and the ski economy thought they would sell these passes but now that the rich bastards are loosing all their money prices will be slashed. I am also betting that Winter Park and other resorts will have to reduce their season pass prices a lot more for people to afford them since the economy is aweful and so many people can't afford that much. $379 is still expensive. When ski resorts see that they are not selling all their season passes starting at Snigrab this year they will reduce their prices. I am betting like Winter Park season passes will be reduced to like $200.00 to lure skiers back. Something will happen since the economy is F***** up!!
