Season Pass FAQs
Q: What Happened to the Sugarbush Value Pass?
A: Nothing. It’s now the Sugarbush Local Pass. With the word ‘Value,’ folks just seemed to think it was only good midweek and had blackouts when it’s really good any day of the season.
Q: How many destinations are part of the Ikon Pass?
A: Ikon Pass gives you access to 50+ global destinations including Sugarbush. Accessibility to each location is based on the pass product purchased.
Q: I have a current season pass, are there any special offers if I renew this spring?
A: Ikon Pass offers special renewal pricing for current pass holders, and this spring, Sugarbush will also be offering a renewal discount for next year pass holders.
Q: I like to ski Lincoln Peak all the time. I see the Local Pass provides unrestricted access to Mt. Ellen, but only provides midweek non-holiday access and early/late season access to Lincoln Peak. What are my options to ski Lincoln Peak?
Answer: Purchasing an Ikon Pass will provide unlimited skiing/riding at Sugarbush (both Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen) and you can visits other Ikon resorts for free. An Ikon Base pass gives you similar access, just with some holiday blackout dates.
