If you’ve ever dreamed of hitting the slopes without worrying about the cost of lift tickets, Helly Hansen’s Ski Free program might just be your ticket — literally. Designed to reward skiers who invest in quality gear, the Ski Free initiative offers an exciting opportunity: purchase select Helly Hansen ski apparel and receive a day of skiing at participating resorts for free or at a steep discount.

At its heart, the Ski Free program is simple and straightforward. When you buy a qualifying ski jacket, pants, or suit from Helly Hansen’s current or recent ski collection, you unlock access to special lift ticket offers at dozens of premier ski destinations across Europe and North America. Depending on the resort you choose, the offer might be a completely free single-day lift ticket, a 2-for-1 same-day deal, or other attractive variations — such as buy one day, get the next free.

Purchase a qualifying ski jacket or pant from the Helly Hansen ski collection. Many in-season styles and some past-season pieces are included, so check the product details before you buy.

Upload a photo of your purchase receipt on Helly Hansen’s Ski Free page, choose your resort, and once approved, you’ll receive a voucher to present at the resort for your lift ticket offer.

Once validated, the pass is typically issued as a voucher you can show at the ticket office or guest services. Different resorts have different rules about redemption — some require in-person pickup — so it’s wise to check ahead of your trip.

Of course, as with any promotion, there are fine print details to be aware of: the offer is only valid during the ski season of purchase, some resorts may have blackout dates, and the perks vary by location. But for those willing to plan ahead, it’s a fantastic way to stretch your ski budget further.
