Uphill Pass Program
Uphill Pass Policies
Uphill access through the Sunlight Mountain base area is closed as of April 7, 2025 due to the Lift Replacement Project. Babbish Gulch will remain open.
Sunlight Mountain allows uphill foot and skier traffic along designated routes during the winter operating season, including the pre-season and post-season. However, uphill travel is closed while snowmaking operations are underway and other times as deemed necessary for guest and employee safety.
Please help us keep you and our employees safe and preserve our growing Uphill Community by abiding by our rules and any mountain closures throughout the year.
Sunlight Mountain Uphill Policy
- All guests must possess a current Sunlight Uphill Pass or Uphill Day Ticket. These passes can be obtained at the Sunlight Ticket Office or on our Online Store.
- Uphill access is closed during snowmaking operations. Pressurized waterlines can be hard to see in the snow, but skis and snowboards are sharp enough to slice through the lines, posing a large safety risk to anyone nearby.
- Never follow directly behind or ski in front of a grooming machine. Keep a minimum of 100 feet away from grooming machines, snowmobiles, and snowmaking equipment.
- Dogs are not allowed on the mountain at any time.
- Use the designated uphill routes. Uphill route maps can be obtained at the Guest Services Office.
- Keep to the side of the trail.
- Downhill traffic has the right-of-way.
- Be aware that there are no Ski Patrol services before or after normal operating hours.
- Any guests accessing the Sunlight Mountain property outside of normal operating hours acknowledge that activities including, but not limited to, slope grooming, snowmaking, snowmobile traffic, special event setup, and marked and unmarked obstacles pertaining to those activities may exist on any slope at any time.
