Important Season Pass Membership Conditions

Season Pass Memberships are non-refundable except where a refund or other remedy is required by law.

Risks include, but are not limited to:

No waiver, no participation.


4. Lift Pass Conditions

Weather, snow conditions and lift operations can change rapidly.

The purchase of a lift pass does not guarantee that every lift, trail or area will be available.

Unless otherwise required by Australian Consumer Law, refunds or compensation will not automatically be provided because of:

Season Pass Memberships are valid only for the declared winter season for which they are issued unless BLAR expressly provides otherwise in writing or a specific Snow Guarantee credit applies under Section 17.

Unused days on a Season Pass Membership have no cash value and cannot be transferred to a subsequent season unless expressly approved by BLAR or a specific credit applies under these Terms and Conditions, including the Snow Guarantee in Section 17.


5. Rental Equipment Conditions

When hiring skis, snowboards, boots, helmets, clothing, toboggans, snow chains or other equipment from BLAR, you agree that:

Helmets may reduce the risk or severity of some injuries but cannot prevent all injuries.

You must advise BLAR staff if rental equipment does not fit correctly, appears damaged or is unsuitable before using it.

You must not knowingly use damaged or unsuitable equipment.

To the extent permitted by law, BLAR is not responsible for injury arising solely from improper use of rental equipment, failure to follow instructions or risks inherent in the relevant activity.


6. Toboggan and Snow Play Conditions

Tobogganing and snow play must only occur in areas where those activities are permitted by the relevant land manager and must comply with all signage and directions.

Participants must:

Reckless, dangerous, abusive or inappropriate behaviour may result in removal from an activity or refusal of further service without refund, subject to Australian Consumer Law.

Snow play and tobogganing are alpine activities and involve risks including slippery surfaces, collisions, changing weather and variable snow conditions.


7. Ski and Snowboard Lessons

Lessons are subject to:

Participants must arrive at the nominated meeting point at the advised time.

Late arrival may result in reduced lesson time or the participant being unable to join the lesson.

A refund will not ordinarily be provided for missed or reduced lesson time caused by a participant arriving late.

Participants must follow instructor directions at all times.

BLAR may move, modify, reschedule or cancel a lesson where required for safety or operational reasons.

Where BLAR cancels a lesson and cannot provide a reasonable alternative or rescheduled lesson, the affected customer may be offered a credit or refund in accordance with these Terms and Conditions and Australian Consumer Law.

Guests participating in snow sports must:

BLAR may refuse service, suspend or cancel a pass, or require a person to leave BLAR-operated facilities where that person engages in:

No refund will ordinarily be provided where access or participation is cancelled because of the customer’s conduct.

These provisions do not affect rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.


10. Photography and Media

Photography and filming may occur at BLAR-operated facilities and activities for operational, promotional and marketing purposes.

Where you knowingly participate in promotional photography or filming, you consent to BLAR using that material for reasonable promotional purposes without compensation unless otherwise agreed.

Where practical, guests who do not wish to participate in identifiable promotional photography should notify BLAR staff.


11. Online Purchase Conditions

All online purchases:

Customers are responsible for ensuring that:

BLAR may correct genuine pricing, description or system errors.

Where an error materially affects an existing purchase, BLAR will contact the customer and provide options consistent with Australian Consumer Law.


12. Refunds, Cancellations and Credits

Refunds will generally only be provided:

Except where a specific product condition or the Season Pass Membership Snow Guarantee in Section 17 expressly provides otherwise, the following circumstances do not automatically entitle a guest to a refund or credit:

Customer Requested Cancellations

Where a customer requests cancellation of a booking and BLAR agrees to provide a refund in circumstances where BLAR is not legally required to provide a refund, a 10% cancellation and refund processing fee will apply to the value being refunded.

The fee reflects administrative and transaction costs associated with processing the original booking, cancellation and refund.

The 10% cancellation and refund processing fee will not apply where BLAR is required to provide a refund under Australian Consumer Law.

Where a credit or rescheduling option is offered instead of a cash refund, BLAR may waive the cancellation fee at its discretion.


13. Illness and Injury Cancellation Policy

BLAR understands that illness or injury can occur unexpectedly.

Where possible, BLAR may provide reasonable options to customers who are genuinely unable to use their booking due to illness or injury.

This policy applies to lift passes, lessons, rental bookings and snow activity products unless a product has separate promotional conditions. It does not create a refund entitlement for Season Pass Memberships, which remain subject to the specific non-refundable conditions in Section 17, except where BLAR expressly approves a discretionary credit or where a remedy is required by law.

Illness or Injury Before the Booking

Where illness or injury occurs before the start of the first day of a booking:

Travel insurance is strongly recommended, particularly for interstate and international visitors.

Illness or Injury After a Booking Has Commenced

Where illness or injury prevents a customer from continuing to use a multi-day lift pass, lesson or rental booking:

Notification should be provided before the scheduled commencement of the activity on the day for which cancellation or cessation is requested.

Medical Documentation

BLAR may require a valid medical certificate for illness or injury requests.

The medical certificate should:

BLAR may request further information where the documentation provided does not reasonably establish an inability to participate in the booked activity.

Medical documentation should ordinarily be submitted within seven days of the cancellation request.

Tasmanian Residents

As Tasmanian residents generally have greater opportunity to reschedule their visit within the declared winter season, cash refunds will not ordinarily be provided for illness or injury unless required by law.

Where approved, credits will generally be valid during the current declared winter season unless BLAR management expressly approves otherwise.


14. Summit Sale – Special Conditions

Products purchased as part of the Ben Lomond Alpine Resort Summit Sale are heavily discounted promotional products and are subject to specific sale conditions in addition to these general Terms and Conditions.

By purchasing a Summit Sale product, the purchaser acknowledges and agrees that:

Special 2026 Season Credit

Due to the shortened 2026 operating season, BLAR has elected to provide a one-off goodwill credit for eligible, completely unused Summit Sale products purchased for the 2026 winter season.

Eligible unused Summit Sale products will be transferred or credited for equivalent use during BLAR’s 2027 declared winter season.

This credit:

The customer is responsible for redeeming the credited product during the 2027 declared winter season.

If the credited product is not used during the 2027 declared winter season, it will expire and be forfeited.

No refund, further credit, extension or transfer into the 2028 or any subsequent winter season will be provided, except where required under Australian Consumer Law.


15. Promotional and Discounted Products

BLAR may offer promotional, discounted, early-bird, package or limited-sale products from time to time.

These products may have additional conditions including:

Any special conditions disclosed at the time of purchase form part of these Terms and Conditions.

Where promotional conditions conflict with the general conditions, the specific promotional conditions will apply to the extent permitted by law.

Nothing in a promotional condition excludes rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.

15.1 2027 Winter Membership Private Lesson Giveaway

Where BLAR offers a private ski or snowboard lesson giveaway in connection with the 2027 Winter Membership promotion, the following additional conditions apply:

BLAR may verify the eligibility of the winning transaction and participating members before the lesson is booked or provided.

The giveaway does not alter or extend the validity, refund, cancellation or Snow Guarantee conditions applying to the 2027 Winter Memberships purchased in the qualifying transaction.

Nothing in these giveaway conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.


16. Credits and Rescheduling

Where BLAR issues a credit:

Where a credit is issued under the Season Pass Membership Snow Guarantee, the additional conditions in Section 17 apply. A Snow Guarantee credit is not a cash refund and cannot be redeemed for cash.

Where BLAR permits a booking to be rescheduled, the customer remains responsible for checking operating and weather conditions for the new date.

Rescheduling does not guarantee that lifts, snow activities, terrain or other services will operate on the rescheduled date.


17. Season Pass Memberships and Snow Guarantee

Season Pass Memberships provide the named member with access to eligible BLAR lift operations during the applicable declared winter season, subject to these Terms and Conditions, operating conditions, safety requirements and any product-specific conditions disclosed at the time of purchase.

17.1 Non-Refundable Membership

Season Pass Memberships are non-refundable, except where a refund or other remedy is required under Australian Consumer Law or another law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

A refund will not ordinarily be provided because of:

The purchase of a Season Pass Membership is a seasonal product and does not guarantee any particular number of visits by the member, any particular snow conditions, any particular lift or terrain, or uninterrupted operations.

17.2 Membership Use

A Season Pass Membership:

17.3 Season Pass Membership Snow Guarantee

Where a Season Pass Membership is expressly sold with the BLAR Snow Guarantee, the following additional benefit applies.

If BLAR records 30 or fewer Lift Operating Days during the declared winter season to which the eligible Season Pass Membership relates, BLAR will issue the eligible member a credit for use toward a Season Pass Membership for BLAR’s immediately following declared winter season.

For the purposes of the Snow Guarantee, a Lift Operating Day means a day on which at least one BLAR lift is made available to the public for lift-served skiing or snowboarding for any part of that day. A day may count as a Lift Operating Day even if:

Testing, maintenance, staff-only operations or other non-public lift movements do not count as a Lift Operating Day. BLAR’s operational records will be used to determine the number of Lift Operating Days, subject to correction of any manifest error.

If BLAR records 31 or more Lift Operating Days, the Snow Guarantee is not triggered and no Snow Guarantee credit is payable.

17.4 Value and Use of Snow Guarantee Credit

Where the Snow Guarantee is triggered:

The Snow Guarantee is an additional contractual benefit and does not limit any rights or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.

17.5 Eligibility and Exclusions

The Snow Guarantee applies only where it is expressly stated as being included with the Season Pass Membership at the time of purchase.

Unless BLAR expressly states otherwise, the Snow Guarantee does not apply to:

To receive a Snow Guarantee credit, the eligible Season Pass Membership must be paid in full. Where a payment plan is still current when the Snow Guarantee is assessed, the credit will not be issued until all scheduled amounts due for that membership have been paid.

The Snow Guarantee operates independently of whether an individual member personally used their membership during the season.


18. Season Pass Membership Payment Plans

Where BLAR offers a payment plan for a Season Pass Membership, the payment plan allows the customer to pay the purchase price by scheduled instalments. It does not convert the membership into a subscription and does not create an automatic renewal for a future season.

By selecting a payment plan, the purchaser authorises BLAR and its payment provider to charge the nominated payment method for the scheduled instalments disclosed at checkout.

The purchaser is responsible for ensuring that:

If an instalment is declined, dishonoured or remains unpaid, BLAR may suspend access to the associated Season Pass Membership until the account is brought up to date. If amounts remain outstanding, BLAR may cancel the payment plan or membership to the extent permitted by law.

All scheduled instalments remain payable once the payment plan has commenced, subject to any rights or remedies available under Australian Consumer Law.

A Season Pass Membership purchased through a payment plan remains subject to the same non-refundable conditions in Section 17. Paying by instalments does not create an additional right to cancel, obtain a refund or stop future instalments because of change of mind, weather, snow conditions, personal circumstances or non-use, except where required by law.

If an eligible membership purchased through a payment plan qualifies for the Snow Guarantee, the membership must first be paid in full. Once all scheduled instalments have been received, the Snow Guarantee credit will be based on the total Season Pass Membership purchase price paid under the completed payment plan, subject to Section 17 and any adjustment required by law.


19. Medical Fitness

By participating in snow sports or alpine activities, you confirm that you are physically capable of undertaking the activity or have sought appropriate advice where necessary.

You are responsible for:

Participants who are impaired by alcohol or drugs may be refused service or participation.


20. Children and Minors

Parents and guardians are responsible for ensuring children participate in activities appropriate to their age and ability.

Where BLAR specifies minimum or maximum ages for lessons, equipment, lifts or activities, those requirements must be followed.

A parent or legal guardian may be required to complete a waiver or provide consent for a minor.

Children must be appropriately supervised except while participating in a BLAR service that expressly includes supervision.


21. National Park and Third-Party Services

Ben Lomond Alpine Resort operates within or adjacent to Ben Lomond National Park.

BLAR does not control all roads, car parks, National Park facilities, public access areas or third-party businesses and services.

Customers remain responsible for complying with:

Unless BLAR is the provider of the relevant service, BLAR is not responsible for the acts, omissions, cancellations, availability or performance of independent third-party operators.


22. Personal Property

Guests remain responsible for their personal property.

To the extent permitted by law, BLAR accepts no responsibility for personal items that are:

Guests should appropriately secure valuables and equipment.


23. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, BLAR excludes liability for:

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions is intended to exclude, restrict or modify any guarantee, condition, warranty, right or remedy under Australian Consumer Law or other applicable legislation that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

Where BLAR’s liability may lawfully be limited, it will be limited to the extent permitted by applicable law.


24. Management Discretion

Any refund, credit, rescheduling, extension, product transfer or goodwill gesture outside these Terms and Conditions remains at the discretion of BLAR management unless otherwise required by law.

Providing a refund, credit, transfer, extension or other goodwill outcome in one circumstance does not create an obligation for BLAR to provide the same outcome in another circumstance.

Any exceptional decision made by BLAR does not constitute a permanent change to these Terms and Conditions.


25. Changes to Terms and Conditions

BLAR may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time.

The Terms and Conditions applicable to a purchase will generally be those in effect at the time the product was purchased, together with any specific product or promotional conditions disclosed at the time of purchase.

Changes required by law may apply as required.


26. Australian Consumer Law

These Terms and Conditions are intended to operate alongside the rights and guarantees provided by Australian Consumer Law.

Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes, restricts or modifies any right, guarantee or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

Where these Terms and Conditions provide BLAR with a discretion, that discretion will be exercised subject to applicable law.


27. Governing Law

These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of Tasmania, Australia.

Any dispute relating to these Terms and Conditions will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts and tribunals of Tasmania and any applicable Commonwealth jurisdiction.
