Kids Ski Free – Big Bear Lake FAQs

1. Can I get the free child ticket at the mountain, or do I have to book online?

Answer:To redeem a free lift ticket, simply head to any ticket window during operating hours or add a $0 ticket online. Either way, you and your child will need to go to the ticket windows day-of to print the physical cardstock.

2. Does my child need to be with an adult on the slopes?

Answer: Yes, while adults don’t need a lift ticket to redeem the child’s free pass, a supervising adult must be present at the resort during the visit. Also, although no adult ticket purchase is required to obtain the free child ticket, don’t forget to bring proof of your child’s age.

3. Are rentals included with the free ticket?

Answer: No, rentals are not included. You’ll need to reserve gear separately, either through the resort or a local provider. If you stay with us at Destination Big Bear, you can get discounted rental gear at GetBoards. See this promotion.
