Do either of the MRV mountains offer military discounts? My brother is active army and is visiting later this month- was just wondering if there were any non-published deals for lift tickets and rentals.

Thanks!

I am almost positive that skiing is free at both MRG and Sugarbush for active military. Thank you!

Looks like their family members can get in on the action too:

Very cool move on Sugarbush's part.

That offer is for VT Guardsmen. You may have to check with them about out of state Military persnonell.

That is generous- I will double check this weekend when I am picking up passes.

Thanks for the question!
Mad River Glen offers (and has for nearly 10 years) free skiing to all active Vermont military and their immediate family members.
We also offer 50% off to all out-of-state military. MRG has had a long standing relationship with the VT National Guard who's mountain unit has trained on the flanks of Gen. Stark Mountain for many years.
Do let me know if anyone has any firther questions about this policy or anything else for that matter. Take care alll and....

THINK SNOW!!!!
