WHITEFACE HOLIDAY GUIDE Are you ready for a fantastic holiday adventure on the slopes? We’ve got some friendly and informative tips to help you make the most of your visit.

But first, be aware of blackout dates on certain passes and products. The following are NOT valid during all holiday periods:

If you have any of the products listed above but wanted to visit us during the holiday, you’ll need to buy lift tickets for the dates you want. We strongly recommend pre-purchasing lift tickets online in advance.

Holiday periods for the 2025/26 season include the following: December 25, 2025 – January 1, 2026; January 17-19, 2026; and February 14-22, 2026.


1. Get Here Early: Early birds get the worm, and in this case, better parking and corduroy! Our lifts start spinning at 8:30 am, so arrive early to secure a more convenient parking spot and enjoy the slopes while others sleep in.

2. Park Consciously: During the holidays, we see a surge in visitors, so consider carpooling with friends to ease the parking situation. Parking map.

3. Buy in Advance: Lift tickets, rentals and lessons are all at risk of selling out during the holiday periods. Save yourself some time and money by purchasing these in advance. It not only secures your spot but also ensures a smoother start to your day.

4. Take a screenshot or print your E-Ticket barcode. Having your barcode available offline or as a physical copy before you arrive can help make your ticket pick-up quick and easy!

5. Ticket Pick-Up Kiosk Locations:

If you purchased lift tickets online, there’s no need to wait in line at any of the lift ticket counters. Head straight to of our ticket pick-up kiosks, scan your qr code and your ticket will print for you.
