Rainbow Season Pass - this gives you the freedom to ski or ride as few or many days as you want during the season, because you can ski or ride for free on any day that Rainbow is open. Best for you if you think you will ski or ride more than six days in a season, or if you intend to visit other ski areas where you can get a reciprocal discount (currently Mt Hutt, Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, Cardrona, and the CSA club fields - Craigieburn, Broken River, Mt Cheeseman, Temple Basin, Hanmer and Fox Peak). The Rainbow Season Pass also includes membership of the Rainbow Sports Club, and use of the club's day lodge at the field. Rainbow Season Pass holders also do not need to queue for a pass each day.
