upcoming season is the College Cali Pass, designed for students ages 18 to 25 currently enrolled in school.<\/strong> The pricing structure rewards group purchases: a single pass runs $399, dropping to $349 each for two buyers, $299 each for three, and $249 each for groups of four to 10. Students need only a $50 deposit to start riding this spring, with purchases not finalized until October 31, giving students the summer to recruit a crew before committing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bear Valley, Dodge Ridge, Mountain High, and China Peak offer a genuine skiing experience outside the major pass ecosystem.<\/strong> One that, for many, has become harder to find. Two owners each operate two of the resorts, bringing deep skiing backgrounds and a rich history in the ski industry, with a dedication to preserving the culture while welcoming in the next generation of skiers and riders. Though these mountains are smaller than some of their mega-resort counterparts, they deliver big snow, strong vertical, and expansive acreage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The College Cali Pass arrives at a moment when the cost of skiing has become a genuine barrier to entry for younger riders.<\/strong> Season passes at major resorts routinely run $600 to $900 or more, making the $249 floor for group-priced college passes a meaningful departure from the market norm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To purchase or renew a Cali Pass, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/thecalipass.com\">thecalipass.com<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_376082\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-376082\" style=\"width: 1578px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-376082 lazyload\" src=\"image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAoAAAAH0AQMAAACXWA4qAAAABlBMVEUAAAD\/\/\/+l2Z\/dAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAD1JREFUeNrtwQEBAAAAgiD\/r25IQAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPwanjQAAcW+qucAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\" alt width=\"640\" height=\"500\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?resize=640%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?w=1578&amp;ssl=1 1578w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?resize=300%2C234&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?resize=1200%2C937&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?resize=768%2C600&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?resize=1536%2C1199&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?resize=600%2C468&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-eio-rwidth=\"640\" data-eio-rheight=\"500\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-376082\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/snowbrains.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Screenshot-2025-10-20-at-10.29.04-AM.jpg?resize=640%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" alt width=\"640\" height=\"500\" data-eio=\"l\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-376082\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 18 mountains available to Cali Pass passholders. | Photo: Cali Pass<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ai-viewports ai-viewport-2 ai-viewport-3 ai-insert-4-31889467\" style=\"margin: 8px auto;text-align: center;clear: both\" data-insertion-position=\"prepend\" data-selector=\".ai-insert-4-31889467\" data-insertion-no-dbg data-code=\"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\" data-block=\"4\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ai-viewports ai-viewport-1 ai-insert-3-40808128\" style=\"margin: 8px auto;text-align: center;clear: both\" data-insertion-position=\"prepend\" data-selector=\".ai-insert-3-40808128\" data-insertion-no-dbg data-code=\"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\" data-block=\"3\"><\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 -->\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deep snow, no crowds.
