SUNSET GONDOLA RIDE FAQS
How does the Sunset Dinner work?
Dinner is a sit-down dining experience served at Agassiz Lodge. If you booked the dinner package, present your confirmation email to the host at check-in. Your selected time slot is for reservation check-in, not the exact time your meal will be served.
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.
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, 2026.
- 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 Sunset Gondola Rides work?
Sunset Gondola tickets include unlimited rides during sunset 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.
