Freedom in the Form of a Northeast Ski Pass

The East Coast is everything old school when it comes to skiing.  Good rope tows, endless tree skiing, epic powder days and a cozy pub for après.  There’s a reason everyone should SKI THE EAST at some point.

The best way to see it all at a great price is the Freedom Pass.  The pass allows you to experience the East in all its glory and visit some other soulful stops along the way.

Freedom Pass

• 14 Resorts
• 3 Lift Tickets at Each
• Free with your season pass at one of the participating resorts. 

The Freedom Pass offers skiing at 14 “soul-filled resorts”.  Many of the resorts  are known for their authentic local charm and fun terrain.

Ten of the resorts are located in the Northeast.  While it is catered towards the East Coast, there are a couple of exciting destinations like Eaglecrest, AK and Ski Cooper, CO.  Much like the Powder Alliance, the Freedom Pass offers variety while keeping the local vibe high.
