Skiers and riders can now pay over time with Affirm when buying Cali Pass season passes and lift tickets for the 2025–2026 season and beyond

SACRAMENTO, Calif., May 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cali Pass, California’s premier multi-resort pass, today announced a new partnership with Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), the payment network that empowers consumers and helps merchants drive growth. Through this partnership, Affirm’s transparent, flexible payment options are now available to purchase Cali Passes and lift tickets. This gives skiers and riders more choice in how they pay and plan for the season ahead, with access to 20 unique winter destinations.

Cali Pass customers can split purchases into interest-free biweekly payments or longer-term monthly payments—at checkout online by selecting Affirm, or in-store by scanning a QR code with their smartphone. Customers will always go through a quick eligibility check, and if approved, can choose a personalized plan and complete their purchase. Affirm ensures the total cost is clear, with no late or hidden fees—ever.

"At Cali Pass, we constantly seek to enhance our customer’s experience, making it as seamless and rewarding as possible," said John McColly, VP of Sales and Marketing. "Partnering with Affirm introduces greater payment flexibility for our customers, offering longer terms ideal for seasonal purchases and, crucially, no hidden fees. This aligns with our mutual commitment to a customer-first approach. Whether our customers are securing a pass early or planning a spontaneous trip, we provide options so they can focus on the snow."

"We know ski season is a major highlight for many, and with Affirm, skiers and riders can now lock in their Cali Pass early and potentially pay it off before their first day on the mountain," said Pat Suh, SVP of Revenue at Affirm. "That same flexibility applies to spontaneous single-day adventures—giving people the ability to spread the cost of a lift ticket over time and stick to their budgets. We're thrilled to partner with Cali Pass to make planning and paying for those eagerly anticipated snow days easier and more transparent than ever."

Cali Pass joins over 358,000 retail partners, including leading brands across travel, gear and fashion like JD Sports, Amazon, StockX, Canada Goose, American Airlines, Priceline, and more.
