The fine print

Defined Terms: Exchange Credit and Resort Cash
This Agreement refers to two separate, non-interchangeable credit benefits. Each is governed by
its own terms as set forth below, and neither converts into or may be combined with the other.

“Resort Cash” (marketed at each Resort under its own name, e.g., Purgatory Cash) means
the promotional, no-additional-charge credit described under Resort Cash below, issued
with certain qualifying Lift Ticket purchases for same-day food and beverage and retail use
subject to Resort specific restrictions.

“Exchange Credit” means the deferred Lift Ticket purchase credit described under
Exchange Credit Policy below, issued in the US dollar amount of your original purchase
when you defer and reschedule a Lift Ticket, rental, or lesson purchase before its valid date.

Resort Cash
Resort Cash (also known as “Purgatory Cash”, “Brian Head Cash”, “Snowbowl Cash”, “Nordic
Cash”, “Pajarito Cash”, “Spider Cash”, “Sipapu Cash”, “Lee Canyon Cash”, “Sandia Cash”,
“Willamette Pass Cash” or other similar variations thereof) is a promotional credit issued at no
additional charge with certain qualifying Lift Ticket purchases, as determined by the Resort in its
sole discretion. Not all Lift Ticket purchases qualify for Resort Cash; eligibility windows, dates,
and amounts vary by promotion and will be described on the Resort’s website or at checkout for
that promotion.

  • Issuance and validity. Resort Cash is issued at 6:00 a.m. on your date of visit and is valid
    only that day. It cannot be saved, accumulated, rolled over, or combined toward a Lift
    Ticket, season pass, Power Pass or other credits. Unused Resort Cash expires at the end of
    the day, has no cash value, and is not redeemable for cash. Resort Cash is delivered by
    email to the purchaser, and multiple same-day Resort Cash credits on one account (for
    example, a family’s) may be applied together in a single transaction.
  • Permitted use. Resort Cash may be used only for food, beverage, and retail purchases at
    the issuing Resort and only in-person at food-and-beverage outlets and retail locations or
    through the Resort’s Food and Beverage online platform. It may not be used for Lift
    Tickets, lessons, rentals, events, lodging, Power Pass or another season pass product, or any
    other product, and is not accepted online. Where a register sells both eligible and ineligible
    items, Resort Cash applies only to the eligible portion.
  • Alcohol. Resort Cash may not be applied to alcohol purchases at Resorts in Utah, Arizona,
    and New Mexico. All alcohol eligibility for Resort Cash is subject to applicable law and
    subject to change at the Resort’s discretion.
  • Eligibility restrictions. Unless a Resort’s promotion states otherwise, Resort Cash is
    eligible for adult lift tickets only (age 13+). Lift tickets must be purchased online and in
    advance to receive Resort Cash; same-day purchases are not eligible for Resort Cash.
  • Cancellation. Resort Cash is voided if the associated Lift Ticket is refunded pursuant to
    the Cancellation Period.
  • Fraud. We may decline or limit any Resort Cash we reasonably believe is being used in an
    unauthorized, fraudulent, or unlawful way.
  • Governing law. Resort Cash is governed by the law of the state in which the issuing Resort
    operates, as set forth under Local Governing Laws below, and all other terms of this
    Agreement and our Privacy Policy continue to apply.
  • Resort Cash Expiration at Brian Head Resort and Purgatory Resort for Multi-Day
    Tickets. Notwithstanding the general expiration terms above, at Brian Head Resort and
    Purgatory Resort, Resort Cash issued in connection with multi-day Lift Tickets purchased
    in a single transaction does not expire at the end of the day it is issued. Instead, Resort Cash
    expires at the end of your guest trip, defined as the last date reflected on the Lift Ticket(s)
    included in the same transaction. This extended expiration applies only where the multi-day
    Lift Tickets are purchased together in one transaction; it does not apply where Lift Tickets
    for different dates are purchased in separate transactions, or where a non-lift-ticket product
    (for example, a Purgatory Snowcat Adventures trip, lodging, or rental) is purchased
    separately from the multi-day Lift Tickets, even if the dates are consecutive or related.
    Resort Cash issued in connection with separate transactions expires separately, based on the
    last Lift Ticket date within each respective transaction, regardless of whether those
    transactions cover concurrent or otherwise related visit dates.

Resort Credit FAQs

When do I receive my resort credit?

You will receive your credit via email at 5am on the first day of your ticketed visit.

Can I use my 50% passholder discount on top of the resort credit?

No, tickets purchased with the passholder discount are not eligible for the resort credit. 50% off passholder 1 day tickets, even if consecutive, but on separate reservations, do not qualify for resort credit. Discounts and promotions cannot be combined.

Can I select days on either side of the resort credit date range and still receive the $10 credit?

You can still purchase tickets for days on either side of the eligible date range, but you will receive only $10 Purg Cash per day for days within that range.

Do my tickets need to be consecutive, or can I purchase three or more separate dates within the resort credit date range?

Tickets do not need to be consecutive. As long as you have selected a “green” resort credit eligible date, you will receive your resort credit.
