If you have an extra $25,000 laying around, the Aspen Skiing Co. has a ski pass for you. It is, in fact, dubbed “The Ultimate Ski Pass.”
The exclusive pass provides rare benefits to the holders. They get to meet members of the U.S. Women's Ski Team when they race in Aspen on Thanksgiving weekend and receive two VIP passes to the food and booze hospitality tent during Aspen Winternational World Cup. The pass also buys them breakfast with Aspen native Bill Marolt, president of the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association.
Ultimate Pass holders also get unlimited first tracks on the slopes before chairlifts open to the public. They can bring up to three friends. They also can take a private tour of the four ski areas of Aspen-Snowmass with a member of Skico's management team. They can ride on a snowcat on a grooming mission and take a “behind the scenes tour” with the ski patrol.
The pass is transferable and valid at Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Snowmass and Buttermilk.
