Ski Ticket Planning

Ski Ticket Planning

Lift Ticket Sales

To help manage lift capacity and lines, numbers of skiers and riders will be limited at any given time. To ensure you have your ticket prior to arrival, online purchasing is recommended. We will be offering a Last Chair Special that will be valid for the last 2 hours we are open from 3-5 PM Tuesday - Thursday and 7-9 PM on days with night skiing.

Tickets are available for 8-hour sessions, 4-hour sessions, and night sessions.

Please note that there will be days we are sold out - weekends and holidays in particular. Advance online purchasing is encouraged. We also anticipate greater flexibility on weekdays. Please continue to check back online as additional sessions and tickets may become available if weather conditions allow us to open additional mountain terrain.

Ski/snowboarding and snow tubing capacities are limited based on available snow coverage and terrain open. At times, we do anticipate being able to add additional tickets. So please continue to check back even if your original date was sold out.

Season Pass Holders

Rest assured that all season pass holders and Indy Pass holders will be able to use their pass as purchased – at this time, no reservation will be required. If conditions require adjustment, we will communicate to all pass holders directly. Please do ensure that we have an updated email on file. To update your email address with us, please email snowinfo@massresort.com.  To reduce foot traffic in our office, season pass purchase and pick-up transactions will now be processed at our new pass window which will be marked. To purchase your season pass, click here.

Lifts

Lift rides will be restricted to immediate family members and those traveling together. So, what does this mean? No more single lift lines or pairing up with someone you do not know. Line queues will look different this year to allow for physical distancing. Face coverings are currently required around the Resort and this will continue when in lines, lift queue lines, and when loading and unloading from the lifts.

Ticket Allocations & Points to Consider

We do anticipate reaching mountain capacity during peak periods and on weekends. However, with online and Resort App purchasing in place, you will have the benefit of knowing in advance if space is available and to secure your ticket. Please see information under Lift Ticket Sales (noted above) for more information.

Here are a few tips to help plan your visit!

Priority will be made in the following order:

• Owners & Season Pass Holders
• Overnight guests staying at a Massanutten Resort owned accommodation
• Daytrippers

Weekdays are the new weekend! If there is ever a year to use a few of your vacation days to relax and unwind with us, this is the year. We anticipate much better time selection and lower rental rates overnight on weekdays and strongly encourage you to take advantage of more mountain access and shorter, less crowded wait times.

Any available tickets remaining after owners and overnight guests will be made available to the public. These tickets will be available online and on the Resort App.

Night Skiing

Night skiing will be available nightly Dec. 26 - Jan. 4 and Friday - Monday, Jan. 8 - Mar. 6. To review our updated schedule, please click here.

Rentals & Ski Lessons

Rentals will be available online and in-person for guests with slope use ticket confirmation. Online purchasing will allow for a speedy process, reduce congestion, and more importantly – give you back valuable time for making more mountain memories! The rental shop will have new inventory software and traffic flow when you arrive. This will expand into the adjacent Mountain Cruisers building to allow for increased space, improved traffic flow, and of course more time for you and your family on the slopes.

Ski/boarding lessons will begin as private and semi-private (from the same traveling party) for at least the first half of the season. We will reevaluate that point as we monitor the evolving dynamics. Unfortunately, traditional group ski lessons, Mountain Cruisers, Mini-Riders, or multi-week Learn to Ski (LTS) programs will not be available this year. We will offer our season-long race and freestyle programs.

Important Notes:

• Purchase your slope-use tickets and equipment rentals prior to confirming your lesson. If you do not have these, we may not be able to accommodate you.
• You must arrive 45 minutes to one-hour in advance of your lesson. Please plan ahead and arrive on time.

Please submit a private lesson request here and a staff member will contact you.

WaterPark Tickets

WaterPark Tickets

Many of the same procedures you have been reading about in the Winter Sports section also apply to us at the WaterPark, but let’s take a closer look...

First, let us review the similarities:

• WaterPark capacity continues to be limited, and just as with snow sports, we recommend that you purchase tickets in advance to secure your spot. Tickets can also be purchased via the Resort App and website.
• Annual Pass Holders: yes, there will be space for you. Just like the summer when the slides opened, a reservation will be required. Pass holders will receive an email with more information on how to reserve their tickets. Annual Passes are available for purchase at any time on the Resort App and website.
• Ticket Allocations: advanced tickets will be released for purchase following the same 30, 21, and 10-day schedule as lift ticket sales.
• To allow as many guests as possible to enjoy the WaterPark during holiday and peak periods, sessions will be offered instead of all-day admission. Please refer to massresort.com/hours for session dates and times. Sellouts are anticipated during these times with tickets unavailable to be purchased at the WaterPark.
• Towels are not provided at the WaterPark, though you may bring your own. Massanutten WaterPark towels are available for purchase at MerchanDice Surf Shop.

What has changed?

• Admission sales are processed on the entry-level, creating the queue line outside of the main doors. Tickets for sessions are redeemable one hour before the session starts and all members must be present at the time of redemption.
• There are capacity limits for Diamond Jim’s Arcade and MerchanDice Surf Shop.
• Proper physical distancing for the admission queue line, Diamond Jim’s Arcade, and MerchanDice Surf Shop are 6’ apart. While in the WaterPark, physical distancing is 10’ apart.
• Seating pods are arranged throughout the WaterPark, adhering to physical distancing guidelines. We ask that you not rearrange the seating areas. Although seating is very limited under current state guidelines, those dining at The Snack Shack are welcome to enjoy their meal in the Blue Ridge Buffet, located on the entry level of the building.
• Hand sanitation stations are available throughout the Park.

Snow Tubing, Ice Skating & Activities

Snow Tubing, Ice Skating & Activities

All snow tubing and ice skating, and activities/class tickets will be sold online and on the Resort App. To allow for physical distancing and to provide a safe and enjoyable experience, capacity and session times will be reduced. This will help us to better accommodate you during your visit as snow tubing and ice skating are two of our most popular activities during winter. To ensure you have your ticket prior to arrival, online purchasing is recommended.  Please refer to the availability schedule at the top of this page.

Snow Tubing

Snow tubing sessions times will be 90 minutes long. Please note that the tubing observation area will not be open to guests without a ticket due to distancing requirements and space constraints. Per Virginia Governor's Executive Order 63 and Executive Order 72, masks are required for people aged 5 and over at a public establishment. Face masks are required for snow tubers visiting our park including in ticket lines, lift queue lines, and while tubing. For snow tubing hours, rates and info, please click here.

Ice Skating

Sessions times for ice skating will be 60 minutes long. Masks will be required on the ice at all times. We are expanding our skate change and viewing area around the rink to allow for physical distancing. Viewing area will be restricted to one non-skating guest per traveling group. For ice skating hours, rates and info, please click here.
