Birkie Trail passes are separated from each membership level to allow you to customize your preferred membership and trail pass combination. When you join the ABSF you can choose not only your membership level, but also whichever Birkie Trail pass type works best for you (regular season, All-Access snow pass, or perhaps no pass at all). What Birkie Trail pass makes sense for one member may not be what works best for another. So, if you want to join the ABSF with a Leader Membership with an All-Access snow pass, or a Guardian Membership with a regular season pass – no problem, you choose what works best for you!
