Alaska Airlines has offered its flyers a fantastic promotion that lets them ski for free — or at a discount — for several years.

This year, Atmos Rewards Alpine Getaways is back with a list of eligible ski resorts and waived oversize baggage fees on skis and snowboards. Each eligible resort also has its own list of perks.

Here’s what you should know.

Alaska’s Atmos Rewards Alpine Getaways — The Details

This year, the Atmos Rewards Alpine Getaways promotion includes just 9 ski resorts in the U.S. and Canada, but you can still ski for free and score additional perks. Note that even Alaska Airlines tickets booked with Atmos Rewards points are eligible for the promotion.

Let’s take a look at where you can go.

Offers vary by location, and these are all resorts near airports served by Alaska Airlines. They’re all on the western half of North America, as well, meaning this offer isn’t great for those on the East Coast. However, if you’re willing to travel, there are some quality deals available.

Here are the eligible resorts, their offers, and how to get there.
