It’s that time of year again! We’ve decided to reimagine the Sugarbush Season pass. And to help, I’m going to guide you to the perfect pass, and break down all of our offerings new and old! We are thrilled to announce that we’re revisiting our old pass structure of age brackets. With options for the 20 somethings, kids, 80+, and everything in between, if you’re looking for a Sugarbush only pass (and of course, an Ikon Pass) – we’ve got one for you. Don’t forget, buying a 25/26 pass gets you on the hill this season and immediately enjoying the 237″ (and counting) of snow.
First, they’ll be starting at $239 so, there’s that. (Affordability’s coming back. Especially if you buy this spring.) Second, anyone can have access to both Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen throughout the entire season. And most simplistically, in the best way possible, all Sugarbush Season passes, minus the Boomer, will be valid every day of the 25/26 winter. Zero blackouts. No more worrying about when you can come up. No more sad face when a powder day hits during Christmas week, MLK or the Presidents’ holiday.
To help make things a little bit easier when navigating which pass to buy, we’ve created this flow chart for additional help with your choice! With just a few simple questions, we can point you in the direction for the product that is right for you. Once you’ve narrowed it down, you can read more in depth about this season’s offerings below.
