Sugarbush
It's difficult to get bored at Sugarbush as they offer a little bit of everything. Sugarbush offers a laid-back atmosphere, and has lots of park to lap (if you’re into that kinda thing). Sugarbush Resort is located about an hour from Burlington. It has two peaks, Mt. Ellen and Lincoln Peak, which are connected both by a lift and a shuttle. The resort is friendly to both a first-time skier and an expert, and you’ll have plenty of space to explore regardless of experience.
Sugarbush Local College Pass - $369
Two Year Local College Pass - $738
Blackout Dates: Unlimited daily access to Mt. Ellen | Access to Mt. Lincoln midweek, non-holiday and early/late season when Mt. Ellen is closed.

Jay Peak
Jay Peak is our northernmost resort, meaning lots of snow and lots of Quebs. Jay is home to the only aerial tram in the area, making it extremely easy to ski top-to-bottom runs all day. While it may get a little cold up there, Jay's backcountry powder skiing rivals any other mountain in Vermont.
Located about an hour and twenty minutes north of campus, Jay Peak experiences the most snowfall in eastern North America—something to consider if you’re looking to shred some pow. Jay Peak knows how to set a sick park, but there’s also plenty of terrain for woods skiing and riding!
“2-Year” Jay Peak Season Pass - $399
“Jay Peak Only” - $259
“Jay Peak Only" First Year - $209
Blackout Dates: None.

Mad River Glen
With some of the gnarliest skiing on the east coast and a 'no snowboarders allowed' policy, MRG offers a local-centric atmosphere that always brings us back to the heart of the sport. The drive from Burlington to Mad River Glen takes just under an hour. If you are looking for a hometown, small mountain feel, Mad River sounds right for you! This skier-only resort is the home of the only Single Chair in the lower 48 (you can find another one in Alaska) and has a mix of groomed and ungroomed trails, with many novice and intermediate trails groomed regularly. With 45% expert terrain, Mad River’s tagline, “Ski it if you can” is fitting.
College Season Pass - $169
Blackout Dates: None.

Smugglers Notch
Located just on the backside of Stowe, Smuggs offers fantastic skiing and riding for those looking to beat the crowds at Stowe. Skiing/riding Smuggs will make you feel like a true local and it has the fourth biggest vertical drop in New England (2,610 feet). Additionally, this is a great mountain to ski or ride if you’re new to the sport as we offer Learn to Ski and Ride Days here during second semester! About 50 minutes from campus. The only triple black diamond in the eastern United States is only a fifty five minute drive from campus! In 2019, Smuggler’s Notch was the Seven Daysies Local Pick for the Best Ski / Ride Slope in Vermont, so they must be doing something right. This hill has a little bit of everything, from beginner terrain to expert, and during a typical season hosts UVMSSC Learn to Ski and Ride Days. The resort has an atmosphere of a miniature ski town with its restaurants and general stores at the base of the mountain.
Smuggler’s College Pass - $249
Blackout Dates: None.

Bolton Valley
Are you planning to take on a heavy class load this winter? If so, Bolton may be the place for you. While it may be smaller than some of the other resorts we sell passes to, Bolton is unique in that fact that they offer night skiing. If you haven’t skied under the lights before, it’s an epic experience and an awesome way to end any day! Bolton Valley is the closest mountain to campus with a thirty-five minute drive and the only mountain in Vermont to offer night skiing / riding. The mountain is local and family oriented with a real community feel, and the backcountry, glade skiing, parks, and groomed trails ensure that you’ll never be bored.
Night Pass - $199
Day & Night Pass - $249
Blackout Dates: Day & Night Pass - 9 restricted days: Dec 27-31, 2024 | Jan 18-19, 2025 | Feb 15-16, 2025
