Whistler Blackcomb Winter Lift Tickets

Yes, you can purchase same-day lift tickets online or at the resort ticket window, but there is a chance the resort could be sold out. For the biggest savings, purchase your lift tickets online, 7+ days in advance of your visit.

No, when you purchase your lift ticket, it is for a specific resort and specific date, and therefore there is no need to make any further reservation.

We expect lift tickets will sell out on select days throughout the season. If you have not secured your lift tickets before visiting, there is a chance you would be unable to ski during your trip. We strongly recommend that you secure your lift tickets as soon as possible to ensure you can ski your desired days.

If your plans change, your lift ticket is refundable (terms apply). Any unused days on your lift ticket are fully refundable until 5 PM PST on the last day of your ticket. For example, if you buy a ticket dated February 1st-5th, you have until 5 PM PST on February 5th to request a refund for any unused days on your ticket.

No, lift tickets are non-transferrable. Lift tickets are only available for the ticketed guest name and for the date you purchased.

Vail Resorts is limiting lift ticket sales throughout the 2022/23 season to preserve the mountain experience for our guests. Guests are strongly encouraged to secure their lift access in advance.

No, if a specific day at a specific resort sells out online, lift tickets will not be sold at resort ticket windows unless purchased with a Pass Holder benefit ticket (Buddy tickets or Ski With A Friend tickets) or through ski and ride school. Availability will be updated online if there are any lift ticket cancellations.

No. Lifts and gondolas will be loaded at normal capacity, optimizing guest movement around the resort.

Currently there are no public health orders in place mandating physical distancing indoors or on lifts or gondolas. Those orders will be continuously monitored as the pandemic evolves and all federal and local public health orders will be followed.

Face coverings are no longer required for guests. Employees will continue to wear masks in all guest-facing spaces.

No. If you wish to access the resort to ski and ride this season, a vaccination will not be required. Vaccines will also not be required in outdoor spaces such lift lines, chairlifts, gondolas, outdoor restaurants, or in indoor spaces such as restrooms, lodging properties, and retail and rental locations. As of April 8th, 2022, proof of vaccination is no longer required to dine at on-mountain restaurants.

Yes. We believe the COVID-19 vaccine is the way to end this pandemic, and the best way to keep our employees and guests safe. Vail Resorts will be requiring all employees to be vaccinated for COVID-19, effective Nov. 15, 2021.
