Sugarloaf in Maine sells a Community Pass to teachers in two local school districts, and the page says it comes with no blackout dates. Its page puts it this way: Community Passes “offer students and teachers season-long access to Sugarloaf with no blackout dates.” If you teach in one of the named districts, this is a season of skiing set up for you and your students.
The catch is geography. The page names the districts, and a teacher outside them isn’t on the list.
How To Get The Sugarloaf Teacher Discount
The Community Pass page has a Select options button where you pick the student or teacher pass. The page says it’s “Available to students and teachers of MSAD 58 and the Stratton/Eustis/Rangeley (RSU 78) School Districts.” The teacher version is listed for ages 19 to 79, and the student version for ages 6 to 18.
The page doesn’t say how Sugarloaf checks that you work in one of those districts, or what you’ll need to show. Keep your school ID and a recent pay stub handy, and if the checkout asks for a district, use the one on the list.
What The Pass Includes
The page calls the pass unlimited access to Sugarloaf with no blackout dates. It also says rollover is available for the Community Pass, though the page doesn’t say what rolls over or when. Add-ons for the bike park and the Nordic trails are offered at checkout, and the page says they’re open to Sugarloaf pass holders.
Who Qualifies
Two things decide it: the district you work in and your age. The page lists MSAD 58 and the Stratton, Eustis and Rangeley (RSU 78) districts, and it prints the teacher pass for ages 19 to 79. A teacher in a neighboring district, or one who splits time across two schools, should write to Sugarloaf before assuming the pass applies. The student pass is separate and runs for ages 6 to 18, which matters if your own children attend one of those schools.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
The page doesn’t print a price for the Community Pass, so we can’t say what a teacher pays. Other passes on the same page are labeled for the 26/27 season, and the Community Pass doesn’t carry a season label of its own, so check the checkout screen for the season before you pay. We also couldn’t find what proof Sugarloaf wants, who checks it, or whether a school-year substitute or an aide counts as a teacher. If you’re on the edge of a district line, ask Sugarloaf before you buy.
