Ski Season Pass Break-even Calculator
Determine how many paid ski days it takes for a season pass to break even compared to buying day tickets. Enter the price of the pass and the average walk-up ticket cost.
Examples
- $1,200 pass vs. $140 tickets ⇒ 8.57 days
- $900 pass vs. $110 tickets ⇒ 8.18 days
FAQ
Should I include parking or food costs?
Only include expenses that change between ticket types. Parking or food typically cost the same either way.
How do discounts affect the result?
Adjust the daily ticket cost to reflect any multi-day packs or loyalty discounts you expect to use.
What if the pass includes buddy tickets?
Those perks add value but are not part of the break-even day count. Track them separately.
Additional Information
- Break-even days = season pass cost ÷ daily ticket price.
- If you plan to ski more days than the result, the pass generally saves money.
