The littlest of our skiing visitors can ski free. Not a bad deal, eh? Upon approval all children 4 & under qualify for a free slope/lift pass (does NOT include rental equipment and lessons), obtained only in Ski School or the Administration office. The child must be present and accompanied by a ticketed adult or have a lesson voucher.

This doesn’t count rentals or lessons though, you’ll still have to pay for that.

The free tickets are available any session of the year, 7 days a week! So parents…bring the whole family!

At night the Administration office is closed, so to get the free ticket, parents must bring the kids to the information desk on the lower level right next to the sports shop or to the ski school building.

Private ski/snowboard lessons are available for children of any age. For older kids, starting at age 5, Sugar Mountain has the Sugar Bear Ski School program. A ski program for children 5 to 10 years old for only $90 includes lift ticket, rental equipment, helmet, lessons, lunch (Full Day Only) and supervision. Registration is located in the Ski/Snowboard School Building from 8:30 – 9:30am (don’t be late) with session lasting from 10:00am – 3:00pm.

There is also a half-day version of the Sugar Bear program for only $68 that runs from 1:00 – 3:00pm with registration running from 12:00 – 12:30pm. The half-day Sugar Bear program includes everything the full-day does except lunch.

For kids ages 7 to 14 interested in snowboarding, Sugar has the Polar Bear Snowboard School. It includes lift ticket, rental equipment, helmet, lessons and lunch. Session and registration times are the same as the Sugar Bear program outlined above. Prices for the Polar Bear Snowboard School are $140 for full-day, and $88 for half-day.

You may also pre-register for the Sugar Bear and Polar Bear Full Day programs the night before from 4:00 – 8:00pm. Please visit the Ski/Snowboard School page for more information.
