Bookable online with instant confirmation through FareHarbor — the same checkout the resort itself uses.

★ Best Value

The All Day, All Lifts ticket at $79 is the headline product. Full access to all five lifts (Eagle, Bruin, Turtle, Lapse, Magic Carpet) from 9 AM to 4 PM. Kids 7–12 are $59.50, and kids 6 and under ski completely free.

Family-friendly by design

Badger Pass exists for families learning to ski. It has more beginner and intermediate terrain than any other resort in the Sierra (85% of the mountain), no surge pricing, and pricing structures that don't penalize you for showing up on a weekend.

First time skiing?

If you've never skied or snowboarded, don't buy a lift ticket alone — buy the Master the Slopes package instead. It includes the lift ticket, equipment rental, and two lessons in one bundle at a much better effective price than buying separately. It also comes with the only learn-to-ski guarantee in California.
