Last November, the adult Edge Pass at Peek'n Peak was listed at $379 pre-season. That was the resort's best-seller, good for any time on weekdays and after 3 p.m. on weekends. This November the same pass carries a pre-season price of $618 for adults 18 to 64. A new weekday-only pass, the Advantage Pass, now sits under it at $502.
The new tier makes it look like there's a cheap option and a premium option. The fine print works differently. For the first stretch of the season and the last one, every pass on the Peek'n Peak season pass page gets unlimited access. The three passes only split apart from Christmas through February. Whether you should spend $502, $618 or $713 depends on which weeks you'll be on the hill, and how many days you'll ski matters less.
Three passes, three different clocks
Here is the adult lineup for 2026-27, set against what the same passes were listed for in fall 2025. The pass page lists prices stepping up on Nov. 22, 2026.
| Pass | When it works | Adult pre-season, 2026-27 | Adult from Nov. 22 | Adult pre-season, 2025-26 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Advantage | Mon–Fri, 9:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m., blackout dates | $502 | $578 | Not offered |
| Edge | Any time Mon–Fri, after 3 p.m. Sat–Sun | $618 | $711 | $379 |
| Infinity | All day, every day | $713 | $820 | $589 |
The Edge Pass went up by $239 at the adult pre-season price, and the Infinity Pass went up by $124. That narrows the gap between them. Last fall, unlimited weekend access cost $210 more than the Edge Pass. This fall the difference is $95.
The age bands changed too. Last season's youth Infinity and Edge Passes covered ages 6 to 18 in one band, at $399 and $299. This season splits juniors into 6 to 11 and 12 to 17. The junior Edge Pass is $299 pre-season, and the 12-to-17 Edge Pass is $359. Seniors 65 and up can get the Advantage Pass at $377 pre-season.
The Advantage Pass also stops at 4:30 p.m. Edge holders can ski weekday nights. Advantage holders can't, and they can't ski weekends either. The Advantage Pass is also blacked out from Dec. 28, 2026 through Jan. 1, 2027, on Jan. 18, 2027 and on Feb. 15, 2027.
The weeks when every pass works like an Infinity Pass
According to the resort's FAQ, every season pass gets unlimited access in pre-season, which runs from Opening Day through Dec. 24, and in post-season, which runs from March 1 to the end of the season.
So an Advantage Pass holder can ski a Saturday morning in early December or a Sunday in March the same as an Infinity holder. The restrictions in the table above only apply from Christmas through the end of February. That stretch includes the holiday week, when the Advantage Pass is blacked out anyway, and the two Monday holidays in January and February.
How early that first window opens depends on snow. Last season, YourErie reported that Peek'n Peak opened on Saturday, Dec. 6, 2025. Season pass holders got early access at 8:30 a.m., and the public joined from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For this winter, OnTheSnow's projected openings list shows Dec. 5. If the lifts start around that date again, the bonus window covers roughly three weekends of unrestricted skiing before Christmas Eve on any pass.
If you own a condo at Camelot or Canterbury and come up mostly for early-December weekends and spring skiing, the Advantage Pass covers more of your season than its weekday label suggests. If your family skis Saturdays in January and February, it covers almost none of it.
Counting the days each pass takes to pay off
The resort's 2026-27 lift tickets bought online run $74 for an adult all-day weekday ticket and $94 for an adult all-day weekend or holiday ticket. A weeknight ticket from 4 p.m. to close is $54. Measured against those prices, here is roughly how many days each adult pass needs at pre-season pricing:
- Advantage at $502: about seven weekday tickets. At the $578 price after Nov. 22, about eight.
- Edge at $618: about nine all-day weekday tickets, or more if some of those visits are $54 weeknight sessions. Weeknights and weekend afternoons after 3 p.m. are what you're paying for over the Advantage Pass.
- Infinity at $713: about eight weekend all-day tickets. For full Saturdays and Sundays from Christmas through February, this is the only pass that covers the whole day.
- Senior Advantage at $377: about seven senior weekday tickets at the $59 online rate.
The bonus windows count toward any pass. A skier who would get five or six December and March days on any pass needs only a couple of midwinter weekdays to make the Advantage Pass pay off.
Fine print worth reading before you buy
You can change your mind later at a cost. The resort will exchange a season pass for a different one at Annex Office Guest Services if you pay the difference. A lift ticket can also be upgraded toward a season pass, but only on the day you bought the ticket. So you can start with the Advantage Pass and move up to Edge or Infinity once you see how your winter goes. You'll pay the price in effect at the time, not the pre-season price.
Season Pass Insurance costs $40 per person. According to the resort, it gives a prorated credit or a gift card if injury, sickness or another valid reason keeps you off the hill. It has to be bought before you pick up your pass. Passes are non-transferable. The FAQ says a loaned pass costs its owner their pass privileges, and the person using it pays an administrative fee plus that day's lift ticket.
Peek'n Peak is still on the Indy Pass. Its passholders can get the Indy AddOn Pass for nearly 30% off, which gives two days at each of more than 100 independent resorts. To activate it, you upload a photo or receipt of an unrestricted or unlimited season pass. The resort also loads offers and promotions onto passes during the season and posts them by email, on digital displays around the resort, and in the Season Pass Holder Group on Facebook. You can load Resort Cash onto your pass, and any balance carries over to next year's card.
The pass details above come from the resort's own published terms. This post is general information, not financial or insurance advice, so check the specifics with Peek'n Peak before you buy.
What the mountain worked on over the summer
The off-season work the resort described was maintenance and reliability. SKI NY published the resort's Oct. 20 announcement listing the work: updated drives on Lifts 6 and 7, including their safety mechanisms; aging snowmaking pipe replaced with high-density polyethylene lines; and electrical upgrades underway. "Preparing for ski season involves much more than waiting for the first snowfall," Mountain Manager Adam Pirtz said in that release.
Snowmaking matters a lot for pass value this year. The more snow the resort can make before natural snow arrives, the more of that pre-Christmas window every passholder gets to use.
Between now and the first chair
The resort's calendar fills the weeks before opening day:
- Nov. 20–22: The final weekend of the Medieval Feast Dinner Theater, with 7:30 p.m. shows Friday and Saturday and a 2 p.m. show Sunday. Overnight packages start at $279.
- Nov. 22: The date the pass page lists for the season pass price increase.
- Nov. 26: Thanksgiving brunch at Bistro 210, 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. It's $64 for adults and $28 for children 6 to 11, and children five and under eat free.
- Dec. 6 and Dec. 13: Breakfast with Santa & Mrs. Claus at Bistro 210, 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with crafts, photos and a gift for each child. Tickets are $25 for adults and $18 for children. Both Sundays fall inside the pre-season window, if the lifts are running by then.
Online pass purchases are picked up at the Annex Office. Last season the Waffle Shack was new and drew steady lines near the lifts on opening day, YourErie reported.
If the new pass lineup has you rethinking how much you'll use your condo this winter, or how the resort's calendar affects renting it out, The Nielsen Wroda Team works with Peek'n Peak owners every season and can help you look at it. Start with an instant home valuation and we'll go from there.
