Arizona — You should have gotten your season pass by now for this winter. If you haven’t, there’s still one way to get one at a nice discount.

From November 1st through the 15th, Sunrise Park Resort in Arizona is offering a discounted season pass. All you need to do is give them the bird. Not the middle finger, but rather a turkey.

To save on season passes, Sunrise Park is asking guests to donate turkeys. They are looking for 12–20-pound birds that are frozen, unopened, and USDA-compliant. These will be given to White Mountain Apache families in need. This reduces the $719 pass price to $619.

There are a few ways to partake in this deal. The first way is to drop off the turkey at the ski resort Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Alternatively, they’ll be at Sun & Ski Sports in Phoenix on November 14th from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. This is a way to get a discounted pass despite missing the early season pricing window.

Sunrise Park Resort is aiming to open for the season on December 11th.
