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 Is New For 2024?

Last year, people who wanted to renew their Y2Play Pass were able to do so one week before the passes became available to everyone else. However, this year is different. Renewals and new passes for the 2024/25 season are both available as of February 21st, 2024.

 

Y2Play Perks & Discounts

Below are some of the various perks and benefits of Grouse Mountain’s Y2Play Pass for the 2024/25 season.

(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 vary and can change at any time.)

 

Free Y2Play Benefits

Below are things you get for free with your Y2Play Pass for the 2024/25 season.

  • Access to the hill, its chairlifts and ski slopes from the date of pass purchase until the end of the 2023/24 ski season (so until mid-April plus or minus).
  • Access to the resort, its lifts and non-skiing activities from the late fall of 2024 until the end of the 2024/25 winter season. This means you can go hiking and enjoy other activities in autumn.
  • One free lift ticket so a friend of the same age group can ski or simply hang out with you for a day at no charge. (Valid for the winter season except for between December 21st, 2024, and January 5th, 2025.)
  • Access to events like the Slush Cup (in April) and Peak of Christmas (from late November until early January).
  • Two free lift tickets at Revelstoke Mountain Resort which is Grouse Mountain’s sister resort (with the exception of a few blackout dates for Christmas 2024 as well as a few weeks from mid-February to early March of 2025).

 

Y2Play Discount Benefits

Below are extra discounts you get access to with your Y2Play Pass in the 2024/25 season.

  • 10% discounts on most food and non-alcoholic drink purchases on the mountain.
  • 20% discounts on food and drink purchases at the Starbucks at the base of the hill (at the parking lot level).
  • 20% discount on regular-priced purchases in the resort’s retail store.
  • 20% discount on tune-ups for snowboards and skis (except during blackout dates from mid-December to early January).
  • A discount on lift tickets at participating partner ski hills through the Mountain Interchange Program. This means around 25% off full-day ski rates at resorts like Big White in Kelowna, Manning Park (45 minutes southeast of Hope), Sasquatch Mountain in the Fraser Valley, SilverStar in Vernon and Sun Peaks in Kamloops.
  • A 50% discount on the purchase of an annual Local’s Pass.
  • A 40% discount at two hotels in Revelstoke: The Sutton Place Hotel and the Sandman Hotel.
