3 Peak Pass
Discounted Prices For Local School Children
The Future of Snow Sports Starts Here
Our local tamariki are the future guardians of our sports and maunga. Growing up with the mountains on their doorsteps, we believe each and every one of them deserves the chance to learn how to ski or snowboard, and we hope it will foster a lifelong passion for enjoying and protecting our unique environments.
That’s why we offer discounted season passes to local primary and secondary school kids. You can purchase your local school pass online up until 8 June 2026. After this date the passes are still available but would require you to visit Guest Services on mountain or at the Snow Centre with additional verification to confirm enrolment.
