Lift Ticket Pricing at Sasquatch Mountain Resort

When you compare the prices for skiing at nearby Whistler Backcomb with your family, it can quickly become an expensive day or weekend or holiday. Early week lift tickets at Sasquatch Mountain Resort are just $48 for an adult and the rest of the week and weekends are $64. With single day lift tickets at $160 per person, it is not somewhere that you want to take your kids to “try out” skiing for the first time. But at Sasquatch, you can book a rental and lesson and end up with a free lift ticket. After a morning lesson, they are free to enjoy the rest of the day on the slopes! It offers excellent value for money and when the kids are done, you can pack up and not worry about how much money you just spent!

Also with their weekly calendar of events you can take advantage of Family Day with discount passes for families and flat rate tubing, as well as ladies and mens days where you can save quite a bit of money.

Kids 5 and under Ski Free at Sasquatch

One of the best part of visiting Sasquatch is that kids 5 and under ski for free. Having 7 and 5 year old boys who go skis for christmas, not having to buy a lift ticket for my youngest is a bonus!

Half day Rentals and Tickets

It is nice to know that if you cannot get up to the mountain early, you can take advantage of half day rates on lift tickets and rentals.

Ladies Day, Mens Day and Family Day

Sasquatch has amazing weekly specials to take advantage of! Men’s days and Ladies days mean that lift tickets are only $20

What to Know about visiting Sasquatch Mountain Resort:

Driving time to Sasquatch Mountain from Vancouver is about 2 hours, as long as you are not leaving in the afternoon rush hour. Coming from Langley, it takes me about 90 minutes.

The road is paved half way up the mountain and the last few kilometres is dirt. It is passable with a 2WD vehicle, but you are required to carry chains and I would not personally do it without 4WD in heavy snowfall.

There are AirBNB accommodations on Sasquatch Mountain Resort. Also try searching for Hemlock Resort or Hemlock Valley in your search

There are plenty of discount days at Sasquatch. Check out their calendar on their website

There is one pub and restaurant at the bottom of the hill. They have decently priced meals and the pub is a popular place to enjoy an acres ski beverage or participate in evening events.
