Uphill New England

The Middlebury Snowbowl is thrilled to announce its partnership with Uphill New England to create the first ever multi-ski resort uphill pass.

The Snowbowl is partnering with Uphill New England to create the first ever multi-ski resort uphill pass. Uphilling – the use of alpine touring equipment for uphill travel at ski resorts – exploded in popularity during the pandemic and continues to grow. Uphill New England formed to ensure access to uphilling by helping ski resorts responsibly manage this growth.

Guests who purchase the multi-ski resort pass get streamlined access to 12+ ski resorts across New England. The pass also includes access to a mobile app which provides guests with a digital check-in system, vertical stat tracking, mountain status updates, access to unique promotions, and a community of like-minded uphillers.

By joining the pass, the Snowbowl adds a new and unique offering to its guests. And as one one of the first resorts to join, it positions Middlebury as a leader in uphill access. The coalition of participating resorts collaborate with Uphill New England to design uphill policies and norms that ensure a safe, responsible, and sustainable culture of uphilling in the region.

Corporate sponsors, including LLBean, Ski The Whites, Alpina, REI, Hagan, Elan, Skida, Dartmouth Skiway, and Stio, have joined Uphill New England to improve uphilling and lower barriers to the sport.

Guests can learn more and purchase passes at uphillnewengland.org.

Remember to select Middlebury Snowbowl as your home mountain.
