Season Passes

As a Sugar Bowl Passholder, you can share your love of skiing and riding by offering friends and family a 50% discount on full-retail lift ticket rates. The number of discounted tickets you receive depends on your pass type.

Redemption Details:

• Ticket rates determined by 50% off the full-retail rate based on the date of arrival and cannot be applied to online discounted rates.
• Sugar Bowl Lift Ticket Retail Rates: (Note: The rates below are for the 2024/25 season and will change for the 2025/26 season)

• Advanced reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and holidays, as tickets may sell out, however vouchers may also be redeemed at any ticket window.
  • If a guest with a Passholder voucher arrives on a sold-out day, we will not be able to sell them a ticket.
  • Sugar Bowl is a cashless resort; credit or debit cards are required for day-of purchases.

• How to Redeem for Yourself (on a blackout day):
  • Passholders may use the voucher themselves during blackout dates.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: Assigning the ticket to yourself will deactivate your pass for that day. You will need to visit a ticket window to reactive your season pass for your next day of skiing/riding. This can be done in the afternoon so you can be ready to go direct-to-lift on your next visit.

• How to Redeem for Friends and Family:
  • Passholders can share the code with friends and family. If issuing a voucher for a friend or family member please use the recommended option to email a voucher to your friend/family. This will allow them to create their own account.
  • If you do purchase on their behalf, be sure to assign the ticket to them during the purchase process. Assigning to yourself will deactivate your season pass for that day, and a visit to a ticket window will be required to activate your pass again.
  • If going to the window, your guest must present the voucher number (or you must be present yourself).  Ticket agents will not look-up your voucher numbers without you present, as they will not know if the person at the window has been approved to use your discounted voucher.

• Important Details
  • Discount applies to full-retail rates based on the date of arrival and cannot be combined with online discounts.
  • Friends & Family Ticket vouchers cannot be resold.
  • Pro-Tip: Look up your vouchers in your account once, screenshot and save it on your phone for easy access.
