Become an ABSF Member!
We aim to please! We’ve refreshed our ABSF membership program to accommodate the wishes of our members. When you join the ABSF, you have three membership options available to suit your personal needs – Individual, Family or Business. Each membership option also offers three levels – Birkie Leader, Birkie Guardian, or Birkie Supporter. All ABSF Memberships run from April 1 – March 31, annually. Take a look at the levels below and choose the option that is best for you! Membership registration opens on April 1, 2021!

New in 2021, we separated Birkie Trail passes from each membership level to allow you to customize your preferred membership and trail pass combination. Now, 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. Of course, membership level fees have been adjusted to reflect a similar value to last year – but with more flexibility. 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!
