Which Smugglers’ Notch Pass is Right for Your Winter Getaway?

- The Midweek Hybrid Pass: This provides exceptional value for those with flexible schedules, acting as a full Season Pass during non-holiday midweek days. On weekends and during specified holiday periods (December 26, 2025 – January 4, 2026 & February 14, 2026 – February 22, 2026), you receive the discounted Bash Badge ticket rate.

This makes a short New England getaway or a last-minute road trip incredibly affordable.
