As peak ski season reaches its height, Alaska Airlines is offering a unique perk for travelers: free lift tickets at select ski resorts across the United States and Canada. By simply presenting a same-day boarding pass, passengers can access some of the top slopes in North America, turning their flight into an all-inclusive gateway to winter adventure.
The airline has positioned this promotion as an added benefit for Mileage Plan members, emphasizing the extended value beyond the flight itself. Throughout the 2024-2025 ski season, travelers can unlock exclusive access to partner resorts, making the airline’s network and partnerships a convenient ticket to some of the best winter destinations. For Canadian resorts, this offer comes with added flexibility, giving passengers more options to enjoy their free lift tickets without the pressure of using them immediately upon arrival.
For example, those flying into Kelowna International Airport can redeem their free lift ticket at Sun Peaks Resort either on the day they land or the following day. Similarly, passengers arriving at Edmonton or Calgary International Airports have up to 21 days to use their free ticket at Ski Marmot Basin Resort. Travelers heading to Red Mountain Resort, accessible via Spokane International Airport, enjoy even more freedom, as their lift tickets are valid any day of the ski season, as long as they present their boarding pass within 10 days of their flight.
While the promotion offers great value, there are some restrictions to keep in mind. Certain resorts may limit how often free lift tickets can be redeemed during the season or enforce blackout dates during peak travel periods. Additionally, perks like free equipment rentals or discounts on gear may vary depending on the resort, providing extra incentives for passengers to take advantage of the deal during less busy times.
With ski season typically lasting through mid to late April, this promotion gives travelers plenty of time to hit the slopes and maximize their winter experiences. By combining flight itineraries with exclusive resort perks, Alaska Airlines has created a compelling reason for skiers and snowboarders to make their next adventure a seamless, cost-effective getaway.
