Lift Tickets
Lift tickets are required for all trips.
Here's what you need to know to make the best choice for your season:​
EPIC Pass
Epic Passes cover Liberty, Seven Springs, and Okemo, and are the best option for Club participants. We recommend purchasing early to lock in the lowest rates.
-
5-Day Pass (22 resorts) – Great for students joining just the Club trips (Liberty only).
-
7-Day Pass – Best for students doing Club trips + Seven Springs.
-
Unlimited Passes (Northeast Value or Local Pass) Recommended if you're planning to attend Okemo with us, as Okemo is not included in the 5- or 7-Day Epic Pass 22 resort tier.
Purchase at epicpass.com. Passes are usually available through early December.
Slope Days Package (Learn to Ski Add-On)
For beginners in the Friday Club, we offer an optional Learn to Ski add-on through Liberty's Slope Days program.
Includes:
-
5 lift tickets
-
5 rentals
-
5 group lessons
Cost: $335 (subject to change based on Liberty’s final pricing)
You can opt in on your registration form.
Snowshoe Trips
Snowshoe is not on the Epic Pass. To participate in this trip, you will need:
-
A Snowshoe Flex 3-Day Pass (recommended best value deal)
-
Or multi-day lift tickets, purchased directly from Snowshoe

Or an Ikon Pass, which includes Snowshoe access
