Whakapapa

Free Season Passes for 10 and unders

Over its history, Whakapapa has been the breeding ground for snow sports in New Zealand.

In 2025, we continue on our mission; to provide affordable and accessible skiing and snowboarding to as many children as possible, with a free Season Pass for any child aged 10 and under.

"Purchase" a free Season Pass for your child on our website in the pre-season sale period, and rediscover with him or her the joy, excitement, and magic, of thriving on the slopes of Whakapapa.

*Free Child Season Passes are only available during the pre-season period. In-season Season Pass and Day Pass pricing will apply after the campaign ends.

Price freeze for 2020-2024 Season Pass holders

In 2025, we are offering anyone who has purchased a Season Pass from us between 2020 and 2024 the same renewal rate - the 2024 Season Pass price - saving up to $150 per pass.

We thank you for your loyalty and hope to see you back making magic on Whakapapa in 2025.

*Renewal pass pricing is only available during the pre-season sale period. In-season Season Pass and Day Pass pricing will apply after the campaign ends.

Pass Protection Add-Ons

For greater piece of mind.

A Season+ Pass (an additional $50) gives you more assurance, with a partial or up to full refund in the case of unforeseen and serious injury or illness during the 2025 season. This pass also covers you for pregnancy.

A SeasonFlexi (an additional $100 youth, $250 adult) gives you our maximum assurance, with a "no questions asked" refund should your priorities or plans change and you are unable to make the most of your 2025 season. If you are unable to use your 2025 Season Pass more than four times, we will refund half of your purchase price. A SeasonFlexi Pass also gives you an additional two Buddy Passes, taking your allocation to six.
