2026/27 PASS REVIEW
Boyne Passport review: Unlimited skiing from Maine to Montana, at a price
Weekends at Sunday River. A few days at Sugarloaf. Maybe a trip to Big Sky, with Brighton somewhere in the mix. That's the winter the Boyne Passport is selling.
For an advertised $3,100, you get unlimited skiing at 10 destinations without blackout dates. The access is real. Whether your winter is quite that ambitious is another question.

Recommended Next Step
Start with the Boyne pass you'd otherwise buy.
Strong fit: You routinely ski Boyne mountains in multiple regions and need more unrestricted access than the regional products provide.
Main reason to pause: A less expensive Boyne pass already covers your home mountains and most of your planned trips.

VERDICT
The Boyne Passport offers unlimited skiing at 10 destinations, no blackout dates, and benefits that extend beyond ordinary lift access. It's an impressive product. It's also $3,100.
If most of your winter happens at Sunday River, Sugarloaf, Loon, or Pleasant Mountain, New England Gold deserves a serious look before you spend that kind of money. Passport becomes more interesting when you're regularly skiing outside your home region, particularly at Big Sky, where unlimited visits and Lone Peak Tram access can matter.
More mountains don't automatically make a better pass. The extra access has to earn its price.
Passport covers Big Sky, Brighton, Loon Mountain, Sunday River, Sugarloaf, Pleasant Mountain, Boyne Mountain, The Highlands, The Summit at Snoqualmie, and Cypress Mountain. No blackout dates. No counting remaining ski days.
Additional benefits include Big Sky's Lone Peak Tram, early lift access at selected resorts, discounted guest tickets, lodging offers, and other privileges. For someone who spends weekends in Maine and several weeks at Big Sky, that freedom could be worth real money.
But the resorts are spread across North America. Nobody's making the drive from Sunday River to Big Sky after breakfast.
At 30 ski days, $3,100 works out to $103.33 per day. At 40, it falls to $77.50. The average sounds better as the season gets longer, but those numbers don't tell you which mountains you skied. Thirty days at Sunday River may be excellent skiing. They're not necessarily a good reason to buy Passport.
New England Gold includes unlimited access to Sunday River, Sugarloaf, Loon, and Pleasant Mountain without blackouts. It also offers limited western Boyne benefits and discounted additional visits. At Sunday River's October 25, 2026 adult purchase selection, Gold was $1,689 before any later taxes or fees, $1,411 less than Passport's advertised $3,100. The public Gold selector still showed $1,569; confirm the current price before buying. The Gold product includes three days each at six additional Boyne destinations; recheck eligibility and pricing before publication.
If your winter is mostly in New England with one short trip west, that may be enough.
Boyne Freestyle takes another approach, offering a smaller allocation of days across the wider network. Big Sky holiday restrictions apply, but not everyone needs unrestricted Christmas-week access. Michigan skiers should compare Boyne Michigan Gold and the other local tiers.
None of these alternatives gives you everything Passport does. That's the point of the comparison: find out what you're missing, then decide whether filling those gaps is worth the difference.
THE COST OF FREEDOM
There's real value in not counting days.
If you regularly travel between Boyne mountains, unlimited access can make winter simpler. You don't have to ration days at Big Sky, and you can change plans without worrying about which resort allocation you're using. Holiday dates don't suddenly turn your pass into an expensive piece of plastic. That convenience matters.
But Boyne's regional products already provide substantial access, often for much less money. Before buying Passport, work out which ski days those cheaper passes wouldn't cover. Price the missing visits, along with any premium benefits you'd otherwise pay for.
If the numbers approach the Passport's additional cost, the upgrade starts making sense. If they don't, keep the money for something else. A ski trip, perhaps.

A winter spent at Sunday River can be a fine one. So can a season at Boyne Mountain or The Highlands. You don't need to cross the continent to make your skiing count.
But if your winter really does stretch from Maine to Montana, there's something liberating about arriving at a mountain without counting remaining days. That freedom is worth paying for. How much depends on whether you're actually going.
Montana looks wonderful on a pass card. It looks considerably better with a trip booked.
