Which pass is right for me?

Skier/Rider Profile |
Pass |
|
Canyons is my home mountain and I want to ski there the most. No time for road trips this semester for me. |
Canyons Youth Pass |
|
I love Canyons and definitely plan to take a trip to a neighboring state to ski. But since I’d love to save a few dollars here and there, I’ll pass on the busiest holidays. |

Skiing is my life and my priority. I’m going to ski as much as I can wherever I can this winter (just don’t tell my parents!). Spring Break in Switzerland, baby! |
