Q: What’s the difference between a Member Pass and a Seasons Pass? A: Member Pass is issued each year to people who join the Club. It entitles members to ski without needing to buy a lift ticket. Members get up to 33% off accommodation, 55% off ski holiday packages (ski weeks), discounts at the T-Bar in Snowline, discounts on snow school lessons, and and affiliated rates at several other Craigieburn club fields. A Season Pass gives discounted skiing at Cheeseman, but you don’t get the above accommodation, lesson, bar, accommodation or affiliated club discounts. Adult and student members do two work parties over the summer (except for your first year as a Newbie). Seniors do one. Get sorted for epic fresh tracks, spectacular sunrises and chill out time with a Season Pass or check out the full list of awesome membership benefits.

Q: When is the age cut off? For Seasons and Lift Passes, it’s your age on the day you buy the pass.
For Membership, it’s your age as of 1 January for the year of membership.
