Scenic Gondola Ride FAQs
Can I use my season pass to ride the gondola?
No, season passes are valid for the specific winter season they were purchased for and cannot be used for summer rides or activities.
Passholders may use their six 50% off lift tickets on Scenic Gondola Rides, but note that they are the same as the winter buddy ticket passholder benefit.
What is the weather policy and can I change my ticket?
If operations are suspended for 30+ minutes due to weather, you’ll receive resort credit for any unused ticket. You can change your ticket up until 11:59 PM the night before your visit by emailing [email protected].
- Credits are valid through April 30, 2027.
- No changes or credits can be honored the day of or after your visit.
- Credits can be used for summer or winter lift tickets, activities, dining, retail, or season passes.
How do unlimited Scenic Gondola Rides work?
Scenic Gondola tickets include unlimited rides during daytime operating hours. You may ride as many times as you like, but you must unload at the bottom terminal between laps.
Is there mountain biking at Snowbowl?
We’re looking forward to bringing mountain biking to Snowbowl in future seasons!
Until then, our sister resorts (Purgatory, Brian Head, Pajarito, Lee Canyon, and Spider Mountain) all offer lift-served biking.
Power Pass holders and 12 Day Power Pass holders get unlimited access to Spider Mountain year-round!
