Afternoon ticket for the Tin Lizzie T-bar, valid after 12:30 p.m., with the wire wicket used to fasten it to a jacket zipper.

Adhesive day ticket in fluorescent orange, the color for adults that season, with its wicket still attached. A day on all lifts cost $6.50.

Adult full-day ticket from the 1993–94 season, the first with a barcode, stamped LAST DAY 3·27·94 at the Silver Spoon loading ramp on the closing day.

Season pass from the last winter before the lodge opened, good on the rope tow and the T-bar under construction. Issued to Margaret Ellis, a Harlow schoolteacher who skied every season the hill was open.

Plastic family pass for four members of the Ruiz family, from the years when Lena Ruiz was on the ski patrol.
