Westchester County resident park pass holders can now receive discounts on the price of lift tickets and ski rental packages at a variety of ski areas and shops in New York State and neighboring areas.

Residents who present their park pass at the ticket window can receive discounts on lift tickets at the Plattekill Mountain in Roxbury and Song Mountain in Tully, both in New York; as well as Berkshire East Ski Resort in Charlemont, Massachusetts. Offers vary and certain restrictions may apply at each area. Discounts on ski rental packages are also available to park pass holders at Pedigree Ski Shop in White Plains, NY.

A Westchester County Park Pass, an individual photo identification card, is available to all county residents over the age of 12. The pass provides holders with access to parks and allows discounted rates at county-owned golf courses, the Playland Ice Casino and parking where applicable. Passes are valid for three years from month of issue.

Park Passes are issued Monday through Friday at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, and at the County Parks administrative offices at 25 Moore Avenue in Mount Kisco 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the administration building at Playland Park in Rye.
