Snow seekers who are already looking ahead to next winter can rejoice after Whistler Blackcomb officially released its 2017/18 season passes today.
And yes, it will be cheaper to ski and ride next season.
The season passes have been set at $1,229 – down from $1,649 this year.
The drop in cost was expected, after Vail Resorts bought Whistler Blackcomb last summer.
The pass also grants 50% off winter lift tickets at any of Vail’s 13 ski resorts.
