Mt. Bachelor president and general manager Dave Rathbun announced significant reductions in alpine season pass pricing for the 2008-09 season.
The new pricing was unveiled during a private reception at The Old Mill District, hosted by Bill and Trish Smith.
For the 2008-09 season, unrestricted adult season passes have been reduced from $929 to $799, while adult non-holiday passes, designed for the local rider, have been reduced from $749 to $669 making it the lowest priced adult pass, valid weekends, in 15 years. Most notably, young adult (ages 19-23) season passes have been reduced by 50 percent, from $699 to $349. For families, Teen passes are reduced from $399 to $249, and youth (ages 6‐12) reduced from $219 to $149. This pricing replaces and improves upon the previous multi‐purchase family discount program, giving every family the opportunity to purchase exactly what they need at the lowest possible price.
“The youth segment of the market is the future of the sport and our business,” said Rathbun. “Making season passes affordable is a key step in our efforts to attract and retain the youth market by allowing them to visit frequently and develop deep and meaningful relationships with the mountain.”
An added value for adult (18+) season pass holders this year is the opportunity to purchase five tickets for a discounted price of $50 per ticket, available through the ticket window any time during the season.
“At a time when the cost of everything from gas to groceries is on the rise, we have been listening to our local customers and are doing everything we can to make Mt. Bachelor as affordable as possible,” said Rathbun. “Mt Bachelor offers one of the longest seasons in the country and we hope Central Oregonians will recognize the value that comes with the purchase of a Mt. Bachelor season pass.”
