Bargain Books: Discounted ski pass vouchers
We are a non-profit charitable organisation and all Bargain Book proceeds go to supporting Adaptive Snowsports Canterbury activities. These Bargain Books are only possible due to the generosity of the 16 ski areas and are the biggest source of fundraising for our adaptive ski programme.
Ski and save money at 16 South Island ski areas!
The 2025 Bargain Books were released first at the CUSSC ski sale at Canterbury Uni at the start of May and that allocation sold out. We’ve dropped some off at our favourite ski shops who sell them on our behalf from Monday 5th. See the list of shops below.
We have already sold out all our books so HUGE thanks to all those people who have contributed in 2025 for ASC.
How does it work?
Purchase an ASC Bargain Book and present it at the ski area ticket office when you buy your ski pass to receive the associated discount. Discounts vary by ski area.
What does it cost?
Bargain Books are $120 each, the same as in 2024, with no discount for multiple purchases.
The payback period of a Bargain Book is usually two days skiing or snowboarding.
How and when can I purchase a Bargain Book?
Buy from our stand at the CUSSC Ski Sale May 3 & 4, then from May 5 at our wonderful outdoor sports shops (see list below).
To buy direct please: ALL SOLD OUT, SORRY.
