Check Vermont's fifth-grade passport before buying child tickets

Open tip ↗

Current fifth graders may apply regardless of residence, but each student can participate only once, even if a prior passport was unused. Budget the accompanying adult's own valid ticket or pass; one adult may accompany at most two passport children. Confirm approval before travel.

Reserve and redeem Vermont passport vouchers before skiing

Open tip ↗

Reserve a dated voucher in the portal no more than seven days ahead, including same-day use if available, then complete the mountain's redemption process. Customers cannot change or cancel reserved vouchers. A voucher does not guarantee a ticket at capacity. Killington lists online redemption; check each area's blackouts, capacity and any RFID charge.

Count the spring visit before valuing Sugarbush's bonus day

Open tip ↗

Sugarbush's September 10 information page advertises the 2026/27 TBD Ticket at $99 for one flexible ski day plus a bonus spring day, with no blackouts or advance reservations. The September 8 shop review specified April 1, 2027 as the bonus-day start and non-transferable use; we could not recheck the shop on September 10. Confirm those details and the final price before buying. Our calculation is $49.50 per used day only if you take both eligible visits; one visit costs $99 before additional charges. The current cancellation policy allows no refunds or season rollover. After redeeming a day, request a date change before 10 a.m. on that day. Supply is limited. Compare a dated ticket and any pass access you own, and verify spring operations before counting the bonus day.
