- In 1998, 25 years ago, Canadian Rockies adult lift passes ranged from $28 at Whitetooth (now Kicking Horse) to $46 at Sunshine Village.
- Children aged under 6 continue to ski free everywhere in the Canadian Rockies
- The number of resorts offering free skiing to older seniors is stable at four: Panorama. Fairmont, and Castle Mountain (over 75) and Marmot Basin (over 80).
- More and more Canadian Rockies ski resorts are offering discounts of up to 20% for tickets bought online and in advance. This season, check Castle Mountain, Fernie, and Kicking Horse for online discounts.
