HOW IT WORKS

Uphill New England is promotes easy, safe, and reliable access to uphill recreation across New England

The Uphill New England multi-mountain uphill membership pass provides access to 18 ski resorts across MA, VT, NH, and ME with a single purchase. Uphill means you skin or splitboard up the mountain using your own power (no lift access), then you ski/ride down. Some mountains allow snowshoeing.

Uphill New England provides an access pass armband, streamlined set of waivers, and mobile app. The app enables digital check-in at each resort and the ability to track your vertical throughout the season. Join our community of uphillers and help us ensure uphill access in New England!

Does this pass allow chairlift access? NO!!!

No! This pass requires you to go uphill the old fashion way: one step at a time. With this pass you get access to each participating mountain (and the benefits of their snow-making and grooming operations). However, make sure you are also always following the policies of each individual mountain (we have them nicely compiled in the Uphill New England mobile app). They can also shutdown uphill access for a variety of reasons - just like downhill skiing - so make sure you check before you go.
Why is there a limit of one pass per transaction?

We welcome you to buy many passes, but only one per transaction. We have set up an integration with Signaturely that will automatically fill out your info for all the liability waivers. Please use the name and email address of the person who will be using the pass for each transaction. For Minors, the email address should be the legal guardian. Thanks!
