5 DISCOUNT SCHEDULES EXPLAINED ADVENTURE ROPES AND ZIP LINE- GUEST SERVICES All employees receive a discount on our Wood Lot & Timber Challenge Ropes Courses and Zip Lines. See the discounts schedule for pricing. Employees are asked to enjoy their discount during a time when the attractions are not busy. BEACH Full access to the Blue Mountain beach is available for all active employees and their immediate family. Staff can drive to the beach with their family; maximum of 8 people in the vehicle for free 7 days a week. They are not required to take the shuttle this year but encouraged in peak times as they may be turned away if parking is limited. Employee must be present with staff ID. Employees can receive discounts on the following when they present their valid Staff Pass/ID card at the beach: 40% off selected food and beverage items. 50% off equipment rentals during non-peak times (as determined by Beach Staff) BLUE MOUNTAIN SEASONS PASS & STAFF PASS/ID CARD All employees receive a Seasons Pass to ski or ride for free at Blue Mountain. The Seasons Pass doubles as Blue Mountain's employee identification, called the Staff Pass/ID card-during the Winter season. Summer employees will receive a Staff Pass/ID card separate from any form of season s pass. All employees are required to have this Staff Pass/ID card regardless if they ski or ride. Staff Pass/ID cards are given to returning employees as soon as they are rehired for the winter/summer season. New employees may pick up their Staff Pass/ID card at Guest Services after their first regular shift or orientation Seasonal employees' Staff Pass/ID allows them to enjoy the perks only during the season in which they work (i.e., winter seasonal employees enjoy the winter perks, not the summer perks, and vice versa). The Staff Pass/ID card is required for Base Lodges, Gondola, BMR Retail Stores, Beach, Monterra Golf, Plunge! and at Staff Events. CORE/ FTF Passes are valid until approximately October 31 st each year. Employees, who leave mid-season for any reason other than dismissal for just cause, may purchase a Seasons Pass at the early bird discount rate. *About 1/3 of the early bird value of the Spouse Pass is treated as a taxable benefit (except if purchased at the regular retail rate) and will be added to your total income. Therefore, you will pay additional tax. You can expect to see this adjustment to your pay early in the New Year or during the season, depending on your start date. If you require further information on this benefit, please contact Human Resources. **A dependent child season s pass may ONLY be obtained for a child for which you are the legal guardian ****Family and Friends lift tickets (12 x $25 tickets loaded onto an employee s pass) are to be obtained through Guest Services. The employee must be present in order to utilize this perk. These discounted lift tickets are to be provided to friends and family only and are not for resale. BLUE MOUNTAIN LODGING Employees can reserve a room at Blue Mountain at a special employee rate. This discount applies to all unit types based on availability. If Blue Mountain s occupancy is forecasted to be more than 80%, this discount is not available. Employee conduct is expected to be professional at all times. There will be zero tolerance for noise and damage.
