25/26 Season Passes
All The Reasons You Should Have a Sugarbush Season Pass
Let's see...where to begin? Well, if you don't already have a Sugarbush Season pass, buying a 25/26 pass gets you on the hill this season and immediately enjoying the 237" (and counting) of snow. And whether you’re new or coming back next year, we’ve decided to reimagine the Sugarbush Season pass.
First, they are starting at $289 so, there’s that. (Affordability’s coming back.) 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.
There are a few more newsworthy(ish) bits. The immensely popular For20s pass is coming back. This is the pass that gives anyone ages 19-29 all-mountain access without blackouts for just $469. An all-mountain College Pass will be just $399 and college kids wanting more of the local feel can grab a Mt. Ellen-only pass for just $199.
