Offered at a discount to regular full-season pass prices in each of the resorts, Super Passes are only available for purchase prior to 28 May 2009 and represent unbelievable pre-season value.

"The Super Passes offered by all three resorts are excellent products and greatly improve the value of our traditional Early Bird Full Season Passes for our most loyal guests," said Peter Brulisauer, CEO of Perisher, "there is an amazing amount of terrain to enjoy on one pass".

"There's 75 Lifts and 2015 hectares of terrain across some of Australia's best resorts", said Michael Callahan, GM Falls Creek Ski Lifts, "this is an epic offer".

"Industry figures show fewer Australian's took overseas ski holidays this last Northern Winter so there's pent up demand for snow and the Super Passes will be very attractive products for these keen skiers & riders," said Belinda Trembath, GM Hotham Skiing Company.

Super Passes are available for purchase from all three resorts until 5pm 28 May 2009. Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham Super Pass inclusions and benefits vary slightly.
