Trading Season Passes?

What's up NS?
I've been lurking around here for a little while and I finally decided to get my shit together and make account, which makes it all the more disappointing that I have to waste my first post asking such a N00b question. Sadly, the search bar has failed me and I simply must uncover the answer.

If I have a 4 point O pass, and my friend has a Sugarbush pass, can I just trade with him and still be able to ski no problem?

I bought the 4 point O before figuring out if I would even be able to find a place to stay there enough, and now as it turns out the only place where I can crash is in Sugarbush so I wanted to trade so I can ski there without having to buy another pass all together.

How bad of a trade that would be for me aside, is it possible?

Much love,

I'm guessing like all,or 99.9999% of the other season passes, it's non-transferable. In fact, it probably says so right on your pass. So most likely you cannot trade it with your friend. I mean, you can, but if you get caught they'll tear it up and maybe get you on theft of services.

If the pass is in your name and his pass is in his name, I'd say trading passes is risky. Im not sure what the 4 point O pass thing is you speak of, but usually resorts frown upon using other peoples passes.

I'm not sure if I spelled it right, but it's that student pass for Killi, Okemo, Pico and Sunapee.

You would think they would have some sort of way of making stuff like this work, but I imagine a season pass aftermarket is the last thing they want.

Looks like I'm gonna be spending my weekends in a Killi parking lot :D

Make sure you trade a piece of ID and look the same if you are going to do it!

honestly trading passes isnt that sketchy just make sure you know their birthdate and middle name. I do it all the time. Also for a lot of the 4 time passes (like 4 days) I've found that you are allowed to trade those better because they don't care as much since you only get 4 days anyway so they still get their monies worth. They care more for the season passes like epic pass and shit like that.

Some four day passes you can even go with like a friend and just both use it 2 days (that ends up being 4 lift tickets).
