2026/27 PASS REVIEW
Twenty-eight lift tickets for $669 delivered. At first glance, the math looks almost suspicious. But the Ski Maine Mountain Pass isn't a pile of tickets you can spend wherever you please. The mountains are already assigned, from Sugarloaf and Sunday River to small community hills that rarely make it into national ski-pass conversations.
Some of those tickets could be worth a lot. Others might spend the winter in an envelope.

Strong fit: Several participating mountains are places your family or friends would ski anyway, and you can share the vouchers.
Main reason to pause: Most of the tickets would require trips you aren't otherwise planning to make.

VERDICT
Twenty-eight tickets for $669 comes to $23.89 apiece. A fine number. Possibly a misleading one.
The Mountain Pass gives you two tickets at each of 12 designated mountains, plus four vouchers covering two groups of smaller ski areas. You can't swap an unwanted ticket for another day at Sugarloaf. But you can share them, and there are no blackout dates.
That's where this package gets interesting. A couple can ski together, friends can split a day at Saddleback, and different family members can use tickets throughout the winter. Not many multi-mountain products offer that kind of freedom.
The Mountain Pass is a good buy when the allocation fits your skiing. If it doesn't, the impressive ticket count won't rescue the math.
You get two tickets each at Big Rock, Big Squaw, Black Mountain of Maine, Camden Snow Bowl, Hermon Mountain, Lost Valley, Mt. Abram, Saddleback, Pleasant Mountain, Sugarloaf, Sunday River, and Titcomb. Two more vouchers can be used among Baker Mountain, Lonesome Pine Trails, and Quoggy Jo. The final two cover a choice between Powderhouse Hill and Spruce Mountain.
That's an unusual mix. Some are destination resorts with high-speed lifts and sizable vertical. Others are small hills serving local skiers, where the operation is more modest and the skiing is no less real.
There's something appealing about a product that includes both. But you buy the entire assortment. You don't get to send back the mountains that are too far away.
Burnt Mountain cat skiing at Sugarloaf is a separately purchased experience. It is not included with the Ski Maine Mountain Pass.
ONE PURCHASE. MORE THAN ONE PAIR OF SKIS.The best feature isn't the ticket count.Suppose you and a friend ski Sugarloaf, Sunday River, Saddleback, and Pleasant Mountain together. That's four ski days for two people, using eight vouchers. You still have 20.
Maybe your family uses a few at Camden Snow Bowl. Maybe another pair of friends decides to try Mt. Abram. The tickets are transferable, though they cannot be resold.
Sharing gives you more ways to make the package work. You're not necessarily buying 28 ski days for yourself. You may be buying a winter's worth of outings for several people. That can be a very good thing, provided those people are actually interested in going.
MAINE IS BIGGER THAN IT LOOKS ON A SKI MAP
Sugarloaf and Saddleback sit in western Maine. Camden Snow Bowl is near the coast. Big Rock is much farther north. You won't knock off the whole collection with a few convenient day trips from Massachusetts.
For skiers who live near several participating mountains, the pass could be a great excuse to explore. For everyone else, the miles deserve a place in the calculation. So do regular ticket prices. Some community hills already charge relatively little for a day of skiing. Using one of those vouchers isn't the same financial victory as replacing an expensive destination-resort ticket.
If your plans revolve around Sugarloaf, Sunday River, and Pleasant Mountain, compare the Pick Maine Ticket Pack or a New England ticket product. Indy Pass is another possibility if your winter includes independent mountains beyond Maine.
The Mountain Pass earns its place when you want the particular mix it offers.

Maine has hills where the lift ride is short, the crowd is mostly local, and a day of skiing doesn't require an elaborate production. They aren't trying to be Sugarloaf. They don't need to be.
The Mountain Pass can give you a reason to visit those places with people you enjoy skiing with. That seems worthwhile.
Just do the math before you buy. An envelope full of unused lift tickets makes a lousy souvenir.
