Purchasing & Check-In: Scenic Chairlift Rides will use RFID ticketing for admission.

PUBs are located near the Mountain Adventure Zone, The Lodge and Kinlochen. Guests must check-in at the Mountain Adventure Zone prior to riding the chairlift to receive a wristband. When it's time to load onto the chairlift, you'll swipe your access card when you are ready to ride.
Waivers are required and must be filled out prior to riding. We recommend filling out your waiver online , in advance. Guests who have not filled out their waiver in advance will need to visit the Mountain Adventure Zone prior to their ride.
