Free Season Passes for Students
When available, season passes are free to students who will be enrolled during Winter Term. There is usually at least one scheduled time to pick up your pass on campus, though you can also email info@mtashwabay.org with a headshot of you (as a JPG file) so they can print one for you and have it ready to pick up when you get to Mt. Ashwabay. It’s possible to check in at Mt. Ashwabay and request a pass in person, but we highly recommend emailing ahead of time instead.
