There is a fee of $74 for an uphill pass of which $10 will be donated to Mountain Rescue Aspen, and $10 goes to Mountain Rescue. This pass is valid for one day or the entire season of uphill access.

All Uphill Passholders must wear our orange uphill strap with your Aspen Card while on mountain. If you are a new Uphill Passholder, please visit any ticket office for your uphill strap and pass. If you have an uphill strap from a previous season, please pick up your current 2025-2026 sticker at any ticket office starting this fall.

We have seen a large uptick in the volume of uphill traffic and use of our slopes in the past few years so it is time to pay attention to managing the process for all guests. There are inherent costs involved in this, including signage, ski patrol workload, route maintenance, as well as impacts on parking and facilities. A structured uphill program with pass will provides a means to educate all guests to rules, communicate closures when they occur, inform conditions, routes, terrain management, special programs and events.

Aspen Skiing Company holds a Special Use Permit to operate our four mountains on a mix of public and private land. We have been working in conjunction with the Forest Service to better manage uphill access.

An uphill strap with a sleeve for your Aspen Card is required while uphilling. The strap with your pass is the first verification and can be acquired at a ticket office after your waiver has been signed and your photo taken. The Aspen Card page of the Aspen Snowmass App will display an indicator if you have valid Uphill access.

There are no pre-scheduled closures for the 2025-2026 season. There may be closures due to early season snowmaking and mountain preparation, avalanche threat and control work, crowding, events or other issues that will be communicated via email, social media, and on the Aspen Snowmass Website and app.

There will be periodic mountain uphill enforcement sessions as well as on-going Patrol, Guest Services, and Mountain Ops spot checks. Our hope is that people will respect this system and self-regulate their behavior.

Uphilling is permitted on designated routes on all four of our mountains.
