Beginner terrain & the terrain park
The Lower Lifts ticket gives you full-day access to the Turtle and Bruin chairs only — the beginner-friendly lower half of the mountain plus the terrain park. Cheaper than the All-Lifts ticket, with everything a first-time skier or rider actually needs.
Who this is for
- True beginners. Spend the day building confidence on green terrain (Wonderland, Beginner's Path) without paying for upper-lift access you won't use.
- Park riders. The Badger Pass terrain park sits within the Lower Lifts zone — rails, jumps, and progression features for snowboarders and freestyle skiers.
- Kids 7-12. Often the right ticket size for kids who are confident on greens but not yet on blues.
What you give up
You don't access the Eagle lift, which serves the longer intermediate runs at the top of the mountain. If you're already a confident intermediate skier, get the All-Lifts ticket instead — the price difference is small relative to the terrain you unlock.
