Last year I upgraded from Frequent Skier card to Senior SKI3 Pass. Was a deal since I saved $$ from the Frequent skier card rates for 3 trips in the Spring. Then I got a One day Buddy pass and 1/2 day pass for this the current year. Again savings to me since they were used by my adult daughter and grandson that I would have paid for.
That brings me to the 2025-26 deal just released. I have emailed the mountain (Gore) to confirm but it is my understanding if I renew this Spring I get 2 free buddy passes for the current season. Then I also get 2 free buddy passes for next season. Those perks really make my $289 Senior Pass rate a great deal!
I do have 2 questions.... First, last year did I only get 1 full buddy pass and 1 half day pass since I bought thru Gore? The write up I saw for Gore and Whiteface were different. The Whiteface write up much easier to understand. The perks are the same for all SKI3 Passes correct?
My second question... Is there a way I can have my daughter and or grandson use a Spring buddy pass if I am not there with them? My wife is having knee replacement surgery next week and it could mean my ski season is done for this year.

BTW I want to thank those who offered me explanations and encouragement on nyskiblog this season. You were very helpful. The encouragement to try Bears Den area at Whiteface was a real game changer for me. I never would have chanced it without encouragement. The "undeserved" respect I get for skiing Whiteface is hilarious.
