The honest short answer: there is no universal family season-pass deal. Epic, Ikon, and Mountain Collective use different age cutoffs, and only some publish a conditional child saving. This page prices the actual people in a household from primary-source operator pages, labels every condition, and keeps access rules beside the total. It does not turn a low number into a recommendation.
Price only. Not a pass recommendation.
Enter each skier's age. The calculator maps every age to each operator's own bands, then applies only the published child conditions shown below.

Colorado · 2026–27
The 2026/27 CSCUSA Ski Passport offers students in grades K–6 from any state four visits per participating area across 19 areas. Holiday blackouts are December 25, 2026–January 1, 2027; January 16–17 and February 13–14, 2027. Allow 3–5 business days for activation in season, or up to three weeks before opening. Validate each visit in the portal within seven days before skiing; confirmed validations cannot be canceled. Save the code before leaving. Adult ticket purchase is not required by the program, but children must be supervised. Budget any skiing adults, lessons, rentals and transport separately; the child's allocation does not establish their cheapest complete ski day.

Ski Utah's 2026/27 Passport accepts fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders from any state or country who remain ages 9–12 throughout the season. It offers three visits per participating area, with one passport per grade. Wait for approval before using it; the operator estimates 24–48 hours with possible peak delays, and summer applications normally wait until October. Follow the selected mountain's portal, checkout and ticket-window steps. Adult accompaniment terms vary by mountain; budget adult access separately. Eagle Point is paused for 2026/27 and is excluded from the current 14-area list. An approved passport does not establish transport or parking availability.

Compare the fifth-grade program's three alpine vouchers per participating area with the child tickets you would actually buy. Verify the chosen mountain's dates and redemption, then add adult access, lessons, rentals and transport. The advertised statewide allocation is not your family's usable-day total.

Reference only - not a purchase option
Indy's official shop directs alpine buyers to its waitlist. We deliberately do not repeat an old price through a live shop URL: the current shop is the source of truth for availability and any future offer. Indy is excluded from the calculator until a current, purchasable product and price are published.
A family price comparison is only the first screen, not the buying decision.
Operators do not share one definition of child, teen, young adult, or adult. Use the age requested at that operator's checkout; this calculator intentionally does not collapse them into a fake family band.
A family can be fully priced and still not be covered for its holiday week, home mountain, premium partner, or number of ski days. Read the access caveat, then verify the official access table for your dates. For a holiday trip, compare the published Epic Local and Ikon Base blackout dates before assuming a lower tier works.
The Ski Pass Cost Calculator compares tickets, one pass, or a two-pass plan against the mountains and days you expect to ski, including documented partner caps. Use this family total as a purchase-budget input, then recheck the official seller for coverage and access terms.
