We may assign all or part of this Agreement without notice to you. We are then released from all liability. You may not assign this Agreement without our permission in writing.
Entire Agreement, Construction
This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of agreement between you and the Resort you made your purchase with, and supersedes and merges all prior proposals and all other agreements governing your Lift Ticket, access to our property and use of our facilities  (not including Privacy Policy, the Power Pass Terms and Conditions,  rental equipment agreements or lesson agreements, as applicable). If any provision of this Agreement, other than the Class Action Waiver in the Arbitration provision above, is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
Arbitration Provision 
Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have.
This Arbitration Provision provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery is more limited. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this Agreement.
Binding Arbitration. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to this Lift Ticket Agreement, your Lift Ticket and your relationship with us. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or use of the Power Charge Card and your relationship with any Power Pass Resort company or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate company or companies (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either of us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.
Opt-Out. Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue your claim in court and not by arbitration if you opt out of this arbitration provision within 30 days from the earliest of the date you purchased or used your Lift Ticket (the “Opt Out Deadline”) after this Agreement has gone into effect. You may opt out of these arbitration procedures by sending us a written notice that you opt out to the following address: MCP, Attn: Legal, 2516 Main Street, Suite D, Durango, CO 81301. Any opt-out received after the Opt Out Deadline (allowing three (3) additional days for mailing) will not be valid and you must pursue your claim in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures. For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first send a written description of your claim to our Customer Service department using the appropriate link at https://www.sandia.ski/contact-us to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days. Any statutes of limitations will be tolled during this 60 days.
Arbitration Rules and Remedies. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"), including the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. You and we agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and not governed by state law. Any arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location in the state in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.
Costs of Arbitration. Upon filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees other than the initial $200 filing fee, and for claims of less than $1,000, the Resort will reimburse you for the filing fee within 30 days of receiving a written request from you. Each party will bear the fees and expense of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration. However, for claims under $10,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith as required above before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we agree not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.
Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver
You and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you. If you opt out of the arbitration provision as specified above, this class action waiver provision will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt out procedure set forth above. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Question 10

Can I take the Tram to Sandia Peak?

Yes BUT… You must already have your equipment (skis, snowboard, boots etc.) because you have to ski or board over 2 miles to get to our rental shop.

In the event that Mountain Capital Partners or its affiliates are found liable to you, you shall only be entitled to recover actual and direct damages and such damages shall not exceed the last balance held on your account. Mountain Capital Partners and its affiliates shall have no liability for any incidental, indirect or consequential damages (including without limitation loss of profit, revenue or use), or any punitive or exemplary damages arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, whether in contract, warranty, tort (including negligence, whether active, passive or imputed), product liability, strict liability or other theory, even if we or our authorized representatives have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Entire Agreement, Construction
This Agreement is the complete and exclusive statement of agreement between you and Mountain Capital Partners, and supersedes and merges all prior proposals and all other agreements governing your Resort Charge (not including Privacy Policy https://www.sandia.ski/privacy, the Power Pass Terms and Conditions or the Lift Ticket Terms and Conditions stated above, as applicable). If any provision of this Agreement, other than the Class Action Waiver in the Arbitration provision above, is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

Arbitration Provision.   Please read this section carefully. It affects rights that you may otherwise have.

This Arbitration Provision provides for resolution of most disputes through arbitration instead of court trials and class actions. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court, uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and discovery is more limited. Arbitration is final and binding and subject to only very limited review by a court. This arbitration clause shall survive termination of this Agreement.

Binding Arbitration. This provision is intended to be interpreted broadly to encompass all disputes or claims arising out of or relating to this Resort Charge Agreement, your Resort Charge and your relationship with us. Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or use of the Resort Charge and your relationship with Mountain Capital Partners or any subsidiary, parent or affiliate company or companies (whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory) will be resolved by binding arbitration, except that either of us may take claims to small claims court if they qualify for hearing by such a court.

Opt-Out. Notwithstanding the above, you may choose to pursue your claim in court and not by arbitration if you opt out of this arbitration provision within 30 days from the earliest of the date you purchased, loaded, reloaded or used any of your Resort Charge (the “Opt Out Deadline”) after this Agreement has gone into effect. You may opt out of these arbitration procedures by sending us a written notice that you opt out to the following address: Resort Charge Team, Mountain Capital Partners, info@sandia.ski. Any opt-out received after the Opt Out Deadline (allowing three (3) additional days for mailing) will not be valid and you must pursue your claim in arbitration or small claims court.

Arbitration Procedures. For all disputes, whether pursued in court or arbitration, you must first send a written description of your claim to our Customer Service department using the appropriate link at info@sandia.ski to allow us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. You and we each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. You may request arbitration if your claim or dispute cannot be resolved within 60 days. Any statutes of limitations will be tolled during this 60 days.

Arbitration Rules and Remedies. The arbitration of any dispute or claim shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement. The AAA Rules and information about arbitration and fees are available online at www.adr.org. You and we agree that this Agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision will be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law, and not governed by state law. Any arbitration will be held in a reasonably convenient location in the state in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language. An arbitrator may award on an individual basis any relief that would be available in a court, including injunctive or declaratory relief to the extent required to satisfy your individual claim, and must follow and enforce this Agreement as a court would. Any arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor we may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court having proper jurisdiction.

Costs of Arbitration. Upon filing of the arbitration demand, we will pay all filing, administration and arbitrator fees other than the initial $200 filing fee, and for claims of less than $1,000, Mountain Capital Partners will reimburse you for the filing fee within 30 days of receiving a written request from you. Each party will bear the fees and expense of its own attorneys, experts, witnesses and preparation and presentation of evidence at the arbitration. However, for claims under $10,000 as to which you provided notice and negotiated in good faith as required above before initiating arbitration, if the arbitrator finds you are the prevailing party in the arbitration, you will be entitled to a recovery of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Except for claims determined to be frivolous, we agree not to seek an award of attorneys’ fees in arbitration even if an award is otherwise available under applicable law.

Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver.
You and we each agree that any proceeding, whether in arbitration or in court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this class action waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you. If you opt out of the arbitration provision as specified above, this class action waiver provision will not apply to you. Neither you, nor any other customer, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated or representative proceeding without having complied with the opt out procedure set forth above. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Permission to Film or Videotape: Purchase of this lesson or product by Customer or on behalf of Customer’s minor participant constitutes consent for Sandia Peak Ski Area to use any film, video or reproduction of image and/or voice of Customer or Customer’s minor participant for any purpose whatsoever without any payment or notification to the Customer.

Assumption of General Risk:  Skier AGREES not to sue for any injury or death and VOLUNTARILY ASSUMES ALL RISKS of participation, inherent or otherwise, including related to use of the ski lifts. WARNING: Under Colorado law, a skier accepts the risk of any injury to person or property resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing, including changing weather conditions, existing and changing snow surface conditions, surface or subsurface conditions, whether marked or unmarked, collisions with natural or man-made objects, whether marked or unmarked and the failure of skiers to ski within their own abilities.

Question 18

When should I arrive for a lesson?

Accepted Answer

We highly recommend arriving at least an hour before the start time. This allows time for you to grab your lift ticket, rentals, and run to the restroom if needed.

Question 19

What is variable pricing?

Accepted Answer

We never want to turn you away from a fun-filled day out on the slopes and we understand you may not always be able to plan ahead, however, during snow storms or holidays, the demand to ski at Sandia Peak is the highest. During these times, the price for a lift ticket may vary greatly and prices may increase rapidly. Our demand-based pricing is designed to manage the number of riders on the mountain on specific days to ensure you have the best time out on the slopes.

When planning your next visit, be sure to purchase your ticket well in advance for the biggest savings. If you arrive the day you expect to ski and have not purchased a ticket, please understand prices may be higher than the previous day. All ticket purchases may be exchanged for a credit up to 11:59 PM the night before your arrival.

Our suggestion to you for the best deal is to review our ticket calendar, purchase your ticket well in advance of your arrival day and avoid peak periods. If you have any questions, please contact us at info@sandia.ski.

Prior to Season Opening: If you request a refund for a covered incident that occurs prior to the start of the season, you will be reimbursed 90% of the cost of your pass. If you purchased the summer pass option along with your winter pass, and you request a refund before the winter season begins, please note that any days the pass was used during the summer will be charged against your total refund amount.
In Season (pro-rated): For covered incidents that occur after the winter or summer season begins, we will refund 90% of the cost of your pass less the retail day rate for each of the days your pass was used.
Refund Request Deadline: The deadline to submit a refund request is February 28, 2026. Requests received after this date will not be considered.
