Buy it once,
ride all winter.
Memberships and day passes fund the grooming, the trails and the infrastructure that make the riding possible.
Membership
Pay and sign, in the same minute.
The release agreement becomes a tick and a typed name at checkout, instead of a form to download, fill in and email back — the step that currently decides whether a paid membership stays valid.

Prices exactly as the association publishes them. Day passes are $25 per person, per day, sold at the dealers in town and at the trailhead.
Read from the live site, 30 July 2026
In late July the memberships on sale are still last season’s.
The memberships on sale are last season’s
Every tier on the page is labelled 2025/26. That season is over, and the people buying now are buying for the winter ahead. Somebody careful enough to read the label will hesitate; somebody who is not may end up thinking they have bought the wrong thing.
You can pay online, then the waiver is a separate errand
After paying, a member has to download a form, fill it in and email it back — and the page says a membership without it may be paused or revoked. So the one step that makes the purchase valid is the step most likely to be forgotten.
Proof of purchase is a printout
Members are asked to show a proof-of-purchase email and photo ID at the trailheads. That works, but it puts the burden on a person standing in the cold with gloves on.
None of this is a criticism of the volunteers. A club sells memberships in the autumn and grooms all winter, and the website is the last thing anybody has time for in between.
What would change, in order
1
Roll the season over in one place
The season is stored once and printed everywhere, so the tiers say 2026/27 the day you decide they do.
2
Sign the waiver as part of paying
A tick and a typed name at checkout. No download, no attachment, and nothing to revoke later.
3
A pass that lives on a phone
The proof of purchase becomes something you can show at a trailhead without unlocking an inbox.
4
Say where day passes are sold
The dealers and the trailhead, on the page, so a visitor knows before driving up.
