Program Overview & What’s New

What is the Chamber Pass Program?

The Chamber Pass Program is a local workforce benefit for local businesses and non-profit organizations based in the Roaring Fork Valley. Aspen Skiing Company (ASC), in partnership with local chambers, provides this program as an incredible Member-to-Member benefit. Eligible members can purchase heavily discounted season passes for qualified employees and spouses. Learn more on the ASC Chamber Pass Program page.

The Chamber’s role is to verify that the organization meets ASC’s requirements during the pass sales process AND again during the annual audit in January. Once chamber verification is complete, the business/organization may proceed to ASC’s online pass ordering and payment system.

Businesses purchase and manage the passes within their organization, ensuring that discounted passes are being used exclusively by bona fide qualified employees and spouses (per ASC’s definition), and that the program rules are being followed. This is the responsibility of the designated Chamber Pass Program representative who is the single point of contact during the three-step process. This person should be an owner, manager or a key person in an HR or Accounting role. Once paid, the company receives a voucher tied to each purchased pass. This voucher is later redeemed when it is loaded onto an RFID card Aspen Card.

The savings on the 2026-27 Premier Pass – with unlimited skiing/riding during the winter season and additional summer benefits – is $1,160 per pass. If an organization takes advantage of this Member-to-Member benefit, the Chamber membership more than pays for itself. This is the most widely used Chamber benefit, with 65% of the membership participating.

The Three-Step Online Process

Before starting the Chamber Pass Program process, please review the Pre-verification checklist and ensure that each of these items have been completed.

Pre-verification checklist

• Step 1 | Member Opt-In Registration: The business completes an online opt-in registration form to notify the Chamber of its intent to participate • Instructions
• Step 2 | Verification of Eligibility: The Chamber verifies that the business and its employees meet all eligibility qualifications.
• Step 3 | Pass Selection and Payment (bStore): Once verified, the business completes the pass selection and payment process directly through Aspen Skiing Company’s online system. • 2026-27 ASC bStore Instructions [PDF] • How To Video (coming soon)

What’s New for 2026-27?

• New Chamber Product: Flex 15 Pass | A brand-new 15-day pass with no blackout dates, available exclusively through the Chamber program. (NOTE: The Alpine 1-Day Chamber Pass has been retired).
• Return of the Weekday Pass | During the 2020-21 season ASC released the Weekday Pass, providing access Monday–Friday. This product has returned for the 2026-27 season.
• Early Redemption Incentive | Passholders who redeem or upgrade their Chamber Pass vouchers by December 4, 2026, receive a $100 on-mountain credit for lift tickets, lessons, rentals, or retail.
• Earlier Voucher Refund Deadlines and Fees for Late Refunds | Unredeemed vouchers qualify for a full refund if returned by December 11, 2026. Returns after this date incur a $200 fee per voucher, and no refunds are available after January 29, 2027.

Important Reminders

• This is an opt-in process. The chamber does not automatically assume that every member wants to participate in the program as this changes annually. Action is required by each member organization that wishes to participate.
• Review and complete the pre-verification checklist. Failure to review the checklist and complete the necessary items (including paying any outstanding invoices) will result in delays.
• DO NOT wait until the last week! There are manual aspects to this process that take time for a human to complete. Skip the stress, and take care of this early, instead of worrying if you will lock in the lowest process. Then pray for snow.
• Be patient and kind. The chamber is currently a staff of one – the President & CEO. The goal is to move the 260+ member organizations through the process as quickly as possible, however there are several manual steps that take time to complete.

Eligibility & Program Qualifications

While ANY business can be a Basalt Chamber member, not all businesses qualify for the ASC Chamber Pass Program.

The Chamber Pass Program is NOT for second homeowners with a business based elsewhere (e.g. their primary residence), temporarily operated within the Roaring Fork Valley during their stay.
