For20s

Back again for the 2013/14 winter season is Sugarbush's "For20s Pass" — the pass that gives those in their 20s (and 19-year-olds, too) a break while they get established in the real world. And with our "Add Mad" pass for an additional $80 you can ski mid-week including holidays at neighboring Mad River Glen. 

Are you turning 30 this year? Purchase your For20s Pass by May 8, 2013, and we'll use your age as of May 8th rather than our traditional November 1st cutoff.

2013/14 WINTER SEASON PASS SPRING RATE*

Spring rates are available through 5/8/13.

* Spring Rates available through 5/8/13.

* Valid government issued identification required for pick-up.

Why For20s?

Your 20s can be tough, with bills to pay, budgets to follow, and “life” choices to make. Skiing and riding becomes temporarily unaffordable—some participants lose touch and never return to the slopes. Sugarbush’s For20s Pass is designed to reverse this trend. Spread the word, and help us share winter with generations to come.
