Last year Sugarbush introduced the Reserve Pass, a new pass option which enhanced a regular ski or Ikon pass season pass by offering early/priority lift access as well as exclusive lounge access to Fifty8, a new ski-in-ski-out lounge in The Valley House featuring food, snacks and specialty cocktails with a private view of the slopes. The Fifty8 is open weekends and holidays.
This year the resort is adding another option for those who purchase the Reserve Pass and that is a daily valet parking. Resort spokesperson John Bleh said that the resort has long offered regular valet parking and said that next season, a specific (and limited) number of spaces will be sold along with the Reserve Pass for an additional $1,000. The Reserve Pass costs $1,500.
Reserve Pass holders get priority lift line access to Super Bravo only, from December 11, 2026 through April 11, 2027.
Bleh said that the Reserve Pass program was well received this year, the first year it was offered, and said the resort got good feedback. He said numbers were fairly limited for this season which meant that any impact on lifts from the early, priority access was negligible. He said the number of Reserve Passes and the add on parking passes were limited. According to the resort’s website, the ability to reserve one of the valet parking spots on a daily basis would be available next season.
“The quantity of reserve passes that we sold for this season ended up being pretty slow which mean that people were pretty well spaced out throughout the season,” he said.
Beyond the Reserve Pass, Sugarbush is also offering something called the Sugarbush Special which is two transferrable season passes with unlimited access to the mountain, the Fifty8 lounge and priority lift line access for Super Bravo Express at Lincoln Peak.
And finally, Pond Skimming, Sugarbush’s annual rite of spring and splash, is April 4 at Lincoln Peak. The event is sold out but up to 20 additional spots will be made available at a costume party the night before on April 3 at Castlerock Pub.
