Winter Park Early Ups
25/26 Season pass add-on, enjoy early lift access
Want to be first on the mountain? Early Ups offers intermediate and advanced riders the chance to get a slice of fresh snow. The Super Gauge, Gondola, and Explorer lifts will open to Early Ups riders as early as 8am, so you can get to your favorite terrain before the lifts open to the public at 9am on weekdays and 8:30am on weekends. Early Ups can be purchased as a season pass or lift ticket add-on and will be loaded directly to your card.*
*This product allows for early access only. A pass or full-day lift ticket is also required. This product is available for use on these lifts only, as they open. Early ups will be available on the Gondola and Super Gauge the day AFTER these lifts open at the beginning of the season so we can host our annual opening day celebrations. Early Ups access ends April 19, 2026. Winter daily lift tickets for 25/26 are unavailable. Early Ups can be added on to a 25/26 Flex Lift Ticket, availble now.
To purchase as a lift ticket add-on follow the link below under 'More Information.'
