The price of the ski passes depends different three factors, including the number of days you want, the age of the skier and the date on which the ski pass can be used.
Generally in Spain the cost of a daily ski pass ranges between €30 and €80, although it can be more expensive in popular resorts or during high season. The more expensive ones for example include Formigal-Panticosa, Baqueira Beret, Sierra Nevada, Masella and La Molina.
