Per snowfall is the season price divided by 11, the number of snowfalls of an inch or more in a normal O’Hare winter; it isn’t a per-visit price. The late credit is one-tenth of the pass. Visits after the 20 included cost one-fifteenth of the pass, only after we email you first.

What a normal winter costs
The pass includes up to 20 visits, roughly double what a normal winter needs. O’Hare averages about 11 days a winter with an inch or more of snow, so a standard pass works out to roughly $64 a snowfall in a normal year.

Light-winter rebate
Light winter? Twenty percent back in April. If O’Hare’s official snowfall from Dec. 1 to Mar. 31 is under 20.0 inches, we refund 20% of your pass by Apr. 30.
For scale, O’Hare’s long-run average for those four months is about 34 inches. On a $699 pass, the rebate is $140.

Your pass includes up to 20 visits, roughly double what a normal winter needs. If we’re getting close, we email you first.
