Merchant Pass Member Benefits

The 2018/2019 Merchant Pass Program is available again for the upcoming season and is designed to bring augmented benefits to our community business partners. The Steamboat Merchant Pass Program allows your respective employees, both seasonal and year-round, to access special pricing on Steamboat Season Passes. Below is a summary:

Highlights

• The Steamboat Merchant Pass will be for the Steamboat Ski Resort only and the price will be $999.
• The ability for employers and/or employees to pay the passes off over time will still be available.
• There will not be 8- or 15- day passes offered for the 2018/19 season.
• Merchant Passes are owned by the employer. If an employee ceases work for an employer during the season, the employer may redistribute that pass to another employee (transfer fee will apply).
• Merchant Passholders are able to purchase passes for qualified dependents with payment terms and deadlines.
• The same amount of Merchant Passes will be available to each employer based on the level of Chamber Membership. For more information regarding Chamber membership, please visit our benefits page.
• A customer service and safety training will be required by all merchant pass holders. More details to come.
• Refunds will be available only for valid documented medical reasons preventing the pass holder from skiing the remainder of the season or if the pass holder is hired by SSRC. A usage fee will be applied for each used day on the pass as well as a $50 processing fee.
