Sugarbush ski resort: get SugarDirect card to save
It takes about 14 computer mouse wheel scrolls to read through the ski season pass deals at Sugarbush ski resort and six to scroll through the 2010 lift ticket rates. But let’s make it simple – just buy a SugarDirect card to save money on lift tickets.
Sugarbush ski resort is not the cheapest ski destination. In matter of fact, expect to shell out $82 for a day of skiing during the holiday periods and $77 Sunday through Friday (regular non-holiday periods.) Of course, you can always buy multi-day lift tickets to save some money. It is a good option; however, keep in mind that typically, a multi-day option ties you up to a ski resort. And savings –quite frankly – are not that impressive. For example, if you buy a two day lift ticket – you will save paltry $2.00. You can go for three of four consecutive days of skiing – and it will save around $5.00 per day.

Sugarbush ski resort made a big step forward when it rolled out a flex program which allows a purchaser to postpone one day of skiing/riding for one consecutive day. However, this is Vermont where Mother Nature is often unpredictable. And therefore, booking a multi-day lift ticket option is a big gamble. What is a solution? Consider the Sugardirect card.
You will pay a $99.00 fee and receive 25% off the regular season, 20% holidays and Saturdays, a free day of skiing and other applicable discounts. Compared to the multi-day prices –see the table above – savings might not be mind shattering; however, you can enjoy them whenever you come to ski to Sugarbush, and the card also gives you a number of other discounts. Just make sure to use a free day that comes with your card – being selfish in this situations helps to breakeven faster. (Please note: we assumed that you would use your free day when calculating savings with the sugardirect option.
