Plan Ahead & Arrive Early
Road conditions may fluctuate during or after snowstorms and additional traffic may exist on Snowbowl Road. Chains or 4WD may be required on the date of your arrival. Check out our Snow Report and Twitter for updates on terrain, lift status, and road conditions.
Where Do I Get My Reloadable Snowbowl Card?
Upon arrival, you may pick up your reloadable Snowbowl Card from our ticket window at Hart Prairie Lodge or Agassiz Sport Shop.
How To Activate Your Snowbowl Card
- Open your confirmation email and click “Activate Now”.
- Follow the prompts and enter in your pass number.
- That’s it! Hold onto your card for the remainder of the season and enjoy straight-to-lift access all season long.
What Kind Of Gear Do I Need?
Weather can change quickly at high elevations and it’s important to be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
We recommend dressing in layers so that you can add or subtract layers as temperatures change.
Snowbowl’s high elevation also amplifies the impact of the sun. You’ll want to wear sunscreen and lip balm and pack a pair of sunglasses or ski goggles, which will also help reduce the glare of the white snowpack.
If you forget something, remember: Hart Prairie Sport Shop and Agassiz Sport Shop carry the essentials you’ll need!
How Do I Rent Skis or Snowboards?
Renting skis and snowboards can be done online and in advance to ensure you get out on the slopes faster than ever. When you arrive at Snowbowl, head to Rentals at Hart Prairie Lodge and begin by showing a team member your confirmation email so they may be able to get you equipped with the gear that best suits your needs.
