Get MORE with CORE!
Daily Pass holders, save $15 off your lift tickets every day!

When you buy a Season Pass or Daily Pass at Sugar Bowl you get more than convenient, affordable lift access to a really great mountain. You also become a member of our exclusive frequent skier and rider program, the CORE Rewards Program.

As a member of ‘The CORE’ you belong to the central community of Sugar Bowl customers. For this, we think you deserve more and we want to recognize you for your patronage. One way we can do this is by rewarding you with CORE Points whenever you spend a day at the mountain.

What can you do with these CORE Points? Well, that’s really up to you. We offer a variety of CORE Awards for you to choose from, ranging from Food & Beverage vouchers to Free Lift Tickets, Lessons or Rentals, to vouchers at retail locations. We’d like to think there is something for everyone!

Whether you redeem your CORE Points on your own or combine them with your family or friends, the choice is yours. Mostly, we just enjoy having the opportunity to say "Thank you for being our guest, we hope you have a great time at Sugar Bowl, and we’re already looking forward to seeing you again".

Truly, the CORE Rewards Program is not any more complex than that. Of course, a few rules and restrictions do exist, but we’re confident that when you become a Sugar Bowl pass holder and CORE member we will deliver you a mountain experience that is more fun.

CORE FAQ
You automatically become an active member of the CORE Rewards Program when you receive your personalized Sugar Bowl daily pass or season pass for the winter season. Personalized passes are those where your name and photo appear on the front of the pass.

Your CORE membership remains active through the end of the winter season that your pass is valid, and this is also the timeframe in which you can earn CORE points for certain activity.

Renewing your pass for a season is the only way to earn CORE points for that given season.

The CORE points you earn during a given season are redeemable for two seasons, the season in which you earn the points and the season that immediately follows.

Transferable passes are not eligible to participate in the CORE Rewards Program. Transferable passes are those where your personal name and photo do not appear on the front of the pass. Sugar Bowl Resort and Sugar Bowl Ski Team employee and employee dependant passes are not eligible to participate in the CORE Rewards Program. Back To Top

How do I earn CORE points as an active CORE member?
There are several ways to earn CORE points as an active member of the CORE Rewards Program.

You accrue 1,000 CORE points for each day you ski or ride at Sugar Bowl, up to a limit of 25,000 CORE points per season. To earn these Access Points, you must present your personalized pass for a ticket checker to scan each time you ride a chairlift.

You accrue 100 CORE points for each qualifying dollar you spend at Sugar Bowl during a winter season, without restriction to the number of CORE points you may earn. To earn these Amenity Points, you must present your personalized pass to the cashier at the beginning of your purchase and ask them to 'Attach' you to the transaction.

Periodically, we will offer the opportunity to earn bonus CORE points for participating in time sensitive promotions such as purchasing your season pass early, renewing your prior season's pass to a new daily pass or season pass, or for referring your friends or family members to become new Sugar Bowl pass holders with their own CORE membership. Back To Top

When do you post my CORE points into my account?
For most eligible activity, we post your access and amenity CORE points into your account the day after you earn the points. Occasionally, we cannot post the amenity CORE points from your evening expenditures until two days after you earn the points.

We post the CORE points you earn for your overnight stays at The Lodge at Sugar Bowl the day after you check-out of your room.

We post the CORE points you earn from participating in our bonus promotions based on the time frame of the promotion. We generally post referral bonus points a day or two after you submit a request. We generally announce the timing of other bonus points at the start of a promotion. Back To Top

When do my CORE points and CORE rewards expire?
Your unredeemed CORE points and CORE rewards expire at the end of the winter season that immediately follows the season in which you earn the points.
As an example:
