This is it. The Eternal Snow Founding Member Pass is now available for purchase, and we're limiting it to 1,000 members. Not 1,001. Not "well, maybe a few more." One thousand, and that's it.
For $449, you get unlimited skiing at Mirage Mountain Resort on Palomar Mountain in San Diego County for our entire inaugural 2026/27 season. But honestly, the unlimited skiing is almost the least interesting part. Almost.
What You Get
- Unlimited skiing for the full 2026/27 season -- every open day, no blackout dates, no restrictions
- Early access: Founding Members ski December 16-17, two days before the public opening on December 18
- Guaranteed renewal at founding pricing for the life of your membership -- while regular pass prices will increase, yours won't
- 10% discount on all food, beverage, and retail at The Warming Hut
- Priority stargazing reservations for our Palomar Observatory partnership programs
- Founding Member RFID card -- a custom-designed card that will make you feel important at the lift line. Because you are.
- Your name on the wall. Literally. Every Founding Member's name will be displayed in The Warming Hut lodge. Permanently.
Why 1,000?
Because scarcity makes things interesting, and because we genuinely want our Founding Members to feel like they're part of something, not just customers who bought a product. One thousand people who believed in a ski resort in San Diego before they could see it, touch it, or ski it. That takes a certain kind of person, and we want to know all of you by name.
Also, our lodge wall is only so big.
The Math
Let's talk value. A single-day lift ticket at Mirage Mountain will be $89 for adults during peak season. If you ski just six days, the Eternal Snow pass pays for itself. Everything after that is free skiing -- which, when you factor in the 10% discount on beer and the fact that you'll be telling everyone at every party for the rest of your life that you're a Founding Member of a ski resort in San Diego, is basically priceless.
How It Works
Head to our Passes page and select the Eternal Snow Founding Member Pass. Complete your purchase, and you'll receive a confirmation email with your membership number (1 through 1,000 -- assigned in order of purchase). Your physical RFID pass card will ship in fall 2026 before the season begins.
We anticipate these will sell out. We're not saying that to create artificial urgency -- we're saying it because we've been tracking interest since we announced this project, and the numbers suggest that more than 1,000 people want to be part of this story.
Be one of the first. Be one of the thousand. Be one of the people who got to say "I was there from the beginning" when Mirage Mountain Resort becomes the most unlikely success story in American skiing.
