Ski With A Friend tickets are usually bought at the ticket window. If you hold Season Pass, you need to have the person whom you want to buy the ticket with you at the window of the agent. The agent will let you know how many tickets for friends are available and what their price is at that particular day. That’s the reason why the prices for the Ski With A Friend vary throughout the skiing season. You can have one friend and purchase the SWAF ticket for six days or you can have 6 friends and purchase the ticket for only one day.
