1. Acceptance of these terms
By using PassTracks, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, do not use the site. These terms apply to the website, its editorial content, finder, calculators, route estimates, family-program information, and links to third parties.
2. What the site provides
PassTracks provides informational research, editorial rankings, comparison tools, and personalized estimates. We are not a ski-area operator, travel agent, ticket seller, lesson provider, insurer, transportation provider, or financial adviser. A recommendation is an aid to research, not a promise that a product is available or suitable for every circumstance.
3. Verify before purchasing
Pass prices, products, age bands, resort access, blackout dates, reservation rules, kids-ski-free offers, lessons, seasonal programs, affiliations, refund terms, rental-car inventory, and other travel availability can change without notice. You are responsible for confirming current terms directly with the operator or provider before purchasing, booking, or traveling.
Published price figures may represent a starting price, a particular age group, a prior sales phase, or one tier within a product family. Taxes, exchange rates, RFID media, fees, parking, lodging, lessons, rentals, and travel costs may not be included.
4. Location, route, and cost estimates
Drive times are planning estimates based on third-party geocoding, public routing services, resort arrival points, and calibrated road-distance models. They do not account reliably for live traffic, winter weather, road closures, chain controls, border delays, parking access, shuttle transfers, or personal driving behavior. Do not use the site for real-time navigation or emergency decisions.
Airport and resort-cluster suggestions are planning aids, not transportation advice. A rental-car listing or comparison link does not confirm all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, winter tires, snow chains, ski capacity, road suitability, or compliance with local traction laws. Confirm vehicle features, equipment, restrictions, fees, and cancellation terms directly with the rental provider before booking.
Winter-tire content is general educational and shopping information, not a guarantee of safe travel or a substitute for professional fitment advice. Confirm tire size, ratings, wheel specifications, TPMS compatibility, installation requirements, manufacturer guidance, and local traction laws. No tire can make every road or weather condition safe.
Break-even and savings calculations are illustrative. Actual savings depend on dates, dynamic ticket prices, household eligibility, use patterns, and expenses not modeled by the calculator.
5. Skiing, snowboarding, and travel risk
Skiing, snowboarding, mountain travel, and winter driving involve inherent risks. PassTracks does not provide medical, avalanche, weather, equipment, instructional, or safety advice. Follow operator rules, posted warnings, official forecasts, road advisories, and guidance from qualified professionals.
6. External links and commercial relationships
The site links to resorts, pass operators, professional organizations, and other third parties. We do not control those sites or their availability, policies, security, or content. Some links may be affiliate links, as described in the Affiliate Disclosure. Compensation does not guarantee favorable coverage.
7. Permitted and prohibited use
You may use the site for personal, noncommercial research. You may share ordinary links to public pages. You may not:
- Scrape, copy, republish, sell, or build a competing database from substantial portions of the site without written permission.
- Interfere with the site, bypass technical controls, introduce malicious code, or overload public routing and geocoding services through automated requests.
- Misrepresent the site’s content, scores, or affiliation with an operator.
- Use the site to violate law or the rights of others.
8. Intellectual property and trademarks
Original writing, organization, scoring systems, data compilation, design, code, and graphics are owned by or licensed to PassTracks and are protected by applicable law. Personal, noncommercial use and ordinary linking are permitted. Substantial copying, republication, resale, or creation of a competing database requires written permission. Resort, pass, association, and company names and marks belong to their respective owners and identify the subject of independent editorial coverage; their appearance does not imply endorsement. Photographs and other assets may be original, licensed, used with permission, or used under another lawful basis. Rights concerns may be sent to legal@passtracks.com with the page URL and supporting information.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
The site is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the extent permitted by law, we disclaim warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, noninfringement, and uninterrupted availability. Nothing in these terms limits rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
10. Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, PassTracks and its publisher will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, lost savings, lost travel, missed ski days, or losses arising from reliance on changing third-party terms. Our aggregate liability for a claim relating to the free use of the site will not exceed the greater of US $100 or the amount you paid directly to PassTracks for the relevant service during the prior 12 months.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations. In those jurisdictions, the provisions apply only to the extent allowed.
11. Changes and availability
We may change, suspend, or discontinue parts of the site and may update these terms. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised terms. The effective date appears above.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and applicable United States federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Mandatory consumer protections in your home jurisdiction continue to apply where they cannot be waived.
