Update: Discounted Big Sky Junior Season Pass

The good folks at Big Sky Resort are, for the first time, offering a discounted season pass for Juniors (11 to 17) who are paid participants in BSSEF programs.  The discounted price is $570, which is equal to the rate currently offered to Big Sky residents who don't participate in the special Ophir School pass program.  In effect, Big Sky Resort is extending its discount pass program to Junior racers who live outside of the Big Sky community.

Here's how the discounted pass program will work for the 2008-2009 season:

  • Enroll in the appropriate BSSEF program and pay the full amount of the program cost.
  • On a weekly basis, Jeremy Ueland will submit a list of paid participants to Big Sky Resort's accounting department.
  • The accounting department will forward the list to the Big Sky ticket office.
  • A week or so after you pay your fee to BSSEF, go to the Big Sky ticket office and buy your pass at the discounted rate.

Big Sky Resort supports BSSEF's Alpine programs in many ways: these discounted Junior passes; complimentary day passes for visiting coaches and race workers; season pass support for BSSEF's coaches; unrestricted use of Hangman's for gate training; use of Hangman's and other runs for races during the season; and use of the race shack at the base of the Ramcharger lift. Thank you, Big Sky!

Board Meeting on 11/20/08

The next BSSEF board meeting has been scheduled for 5:30PM on 11/20/08 in Big Sky.
