- Advanced reservations are recommended, especially on weekends and holidays, as tickets may sell out, however vouchers may also be redeemed at any ticket window.
- If a guest with a Passholder voucher arrives on a sold-out day, we will not be able to sell them a ticket.
- Sugar Bowl is a cashless resort; credit or debit cards are required for day-of purchases.
- How to Redeem for Yourself (on a blackout day):
- Passholders may use the voucher themselves during blackout dates.
- IMPORTANT NOTE: Assigning the ticket to yourself will deactivate your pass for that day. You will need to visit a ticket window to reactive your season pass for your next day of skiing/riding. This can be done in the afternoon so you can be ready to go direct-to-lift on your next visit.
- How to Redeem for Friends and Family:
- Passholders can share the code with friends and family. If issuing a voucher for a friend or family member please use the recommended option to email a voucher to your friend/family. This will allow them to create their own account.
- If you do purchase on their behalf, be sure to assign the ticket to them during the purchase process. Assigning to yourself will deactivate your season pass for that day, and a visit to a ticket window will be required to activate your pass again.
- If going to the window, your guest must present the voucher number (or you must be present yourself). Ticket agents will not look-up your voucher numbers without you present, as they will not know if the person at the window has been approved to use your discounted voucher.
- Important Details

Current Passholder Perks & Details
I’m a Midweek/Slightly Restricted Passholder, what are my blackout dates?
In general, slightly restricted passes have a few blackout days between Christmas and New Year’s Day and during long holiday weekends like Presidents’ Day weekend and Martin Luther King weekend. Midweek passholders have Saturdays and Sundays restricted in addition. See the specific dates on the Existing Passholder Info page.
What if I want to ski or ride on one of my blackout days?
New this season, you can use one of your passholder Friends and Family 50% off tickets for yourself on any blackout dates if you would like to ski or ride.
How many Friends and Family Tickets do I have?
As a passholder, you receive an allotment of 50% off tickets to share with your friends & family. These vary by pass type and are detailed here. As a reminder, these tickets are subject to sell-out and could be challenging to secure for peak days. You may purchase these tickets online, or they can now be redeemed at the ticket windows, but tickets are subject to sell-out. Online purchase is highly encouraged during weekends and holiday periods.
How do I redeem them?
To access your Friends & Family tickets, log in to your account on the online store. Different pass types qualify for different amounts of tickets, so check your account to see how many you have. For a step-by-step guide on how to redeem these tickets, visit the Existing Passholder Info page.
What’s the discount for a friends and family ticket?
Guests will get 50% off a full-priced ticket, not off any discounted online rates available.
Do you offer insurance for friends and family tickets or regular lift tickets?
Yes, you can purchase Trip Flex to make your tickets refundable. Lift tickets are non-changeable and non-refundable, however during the check-out process, you may elect to add-on Trip Flex to any lift ticket for only $20. By adding Trip Flex to your lift ticket, you will make it refundable and you may request a refund for your date up until 11:59PM PST on the date of your scheduled arrival.
What discounts do I get on food and retail at the resort?
With your season pass, you can save 15% on retail, food, tuning and repair, and weekday private lessons. Visit the Existing Passholder Info page for the specifics of how your passholder discount can be applied. Please note, the passholder must be present and show their season pass to receive the discount. Discounts above may not be combined with any other offers.
Can I upgrade my pass from a midweek or slightly restricted pass to an unlimited pass?
Yes, while supplies last you may upgrade by paying the difference between what you paid and what the current pass rate is at the time of upgrade.
How can I check to see if Old 40 is open for easy access to the mountain?
Old 40 is the best shortcut from Truckee to Sugar Bowl. If you want to know the status of Old 40 this winter, text “Old40” to 855-835-5599 and we’ll send you a message anytime Old 40 opens or closes.
Can I visit other resorts with my Sugar Bowl season pass?
Yes! We have partnered with several resorts of similar size and quality of Sugar Bowl including new partnerships. See our partner resorts on the Existing Passholder Info page.
How do I contact customer service about a question/problem with my pass?
If you have already reviewed the Existing Passholder Info page for your answer and need additional assistance, please email seasonpass@sugarbowl.com. During the busy winter season, we receive a large volume of requests, so please allow a few days of response time.
We pride ourselves on consistently offering an uncrowded experience – pandemic or not – and we believe that a limit on pass sales is a responsible approach while there is still some uncertainty about restrictions and policies that could impact winter operations. Expect season pass quantities to be limited and sell out!
Friends & Family Ticket Redemption
Here's how the online system works:
- Log in to your account on our online store. This is the same store you used when purchasing your season pass.
- What if I can't log-in? You'll need to log-in with the email you used when you purchased your pass. Alternatively, you can try logging-in with your pass number.
- What if the system can't find me? This is most likely because you're trying to use a different email address than what we have on file.
- After you've logged-in, click on "My Account" under your name and then look for the "Friends & Family Vouchers" tab on the left side of the page. There, you'll see the voucher code(s). Each code is valid for 50%-off lift tickets for a friends or family members. If multiple members of your family have season passes, you'll see the voucher code for each person connected to your account.
- What if I've logged-in and I don't see the voucher code(s)? It's likely that you have more than one account and have used more than one email address in the past. Log-out and log-in again using a different email address or your pass number.
- We recommend that you use the "Email" function to have the store send your friend the voucher code, which he/she can use to purchase a discounted ticket. Alternatively, you can purchase the ticket for your friend or family member by clicking the "Redeem" button. If you're purchasing for a friend who is not currently one of your "group members" in your account, you can create a new group member... but you will need their date-of-birth. Do not assign the ticket to yourself, it will deactivate your season pass for the day!
- Upon purchase completion, the ticket purchaser will be emailed a confirmation letter. The person using the ticket should bring this letter with them to the mountain to claim their ticket.
Some other important notes:
- The code may only be used to purchase one lift ticket per transaction. If you want to buy multiple tickets for multiple people, you will need to make multiple transactions.
- 50% discount may not be combined with any other offers. Rate is 50% off the full-priced ticket rate.
- Friends & Family tickets are valid to use 7 days/week, with no black-outs, regardless of pass type. On days your pass is restricted, you may use one of your Friends & Family Vouchers on yourself. If you purchase a Friends and Family ticket for yourself, it will deactivate your current season pass. Please visit the ticket window to reactivate before your next day on snow.
If you have any questions about this process, please contact us at customercare@sugarbowl.com. We look forward to seeing you here with your friends & family.
