Y2Play Pass at Grouse Mountain

If you like skiing at Grouse Mountain and want an annual pass, the best deal is to get a Y2Play Pass when they become available starting around mid-February or early March. Buy a pass and you can ski for the remainder of this year’s ski season plus all of next year’s ski season too.

There are many benefits to buying a Y2Play Pass. It’s much cheaper than a regular full-priced annual ski pass, plus it lets you ski for almost a season-and-a-half (as opposed to just one season). There are lots of other valuable perks too, including those listed below.

What’s New For 2025?

The 2025/2026 Y2Play Pass doesn’t come with any extra perks compared to last season. However, Grouse recently opened their new Blue Grouse Gondola which means you can expect reduced wait times and more skiing.

Y2Play Perks & Discounts

Below are some of the various perks and benefits of Grouse Mountain’s Y2Play Pass.

(Note: Some of the following benefits are subject to restrictions, not transferable and not valid for all ages. Blackout dates for equipment rentals also apply. Also, pass benefits are subject to change at any time.)

Free Y2Play Benefits

Access to the hill, its chairlifts and ski slopes from the date of pass purchase until the end of the 2024/2025 ski season (so until mid-April or so).
