Lift Ticket Information & Ikon Pass Discount

Camp registration includes lift tickets for all four training days.

Athletes who hold a valid Ikon Pass may use discount code IKONPASSB during registration to receive $200 off the camp fee. This discount reflects the portion of lift ticket costs that can be excluded when an athlete's Ikon Pass ID is submitted to the Sun Peaks Racing Centre.

Please note that all athletes participating in camp are required to be on MSSRT training tickets while training. These training tickets are mandatory for participation in camp programming, as required by the Sun Peaks Racing Centre.

At this time, only Ikon Pass holders are eligible for this discount. Sun Peaks Racing Centre recognizes Ikon Pass products within its group ticketing program, allowing MSSRT to reduce a portion of lift ticket costs for these athletes. Other season pass products are not recognized through the Group Racing Centre program and therefore cannot be substituted for camp training tickets.

To receive the discount, athletes must:

• Use discount code IKONPASSB during registration

• Submit their Ikon Pass ID number at registration

• Bring their valid Ikon Pass to camp and have it available each training day

Payment Options

Families who would prefer to pay a deposit at registration may use discount code CAMPDEPOSITB at checkout.

Using this code will reduce the registration payment to $500, with the remaining balance invoiced separately and due prior to camp.

Please note: The CAMPDEPOSITB deposit option and the IKONPASSB discount cannot be combined. Athletes must choose one discount code during registration.

Athletes registering with an Ikon Pass who wish to pay by deposit should contact MSSRT directly at catharnden.mssrt@gmail.com for assistance with registration and invoicing.
