Win+Win+Win

Beer pairs well with winning, right?! Hanging out, drinking a beer? Winning! Hanging out with your dog and drinking a beer? Winning! Hanging out with your dog and drinking a beer after a great day backcountry skiing? Winning!

So we are very excited to announce a couple new ways you can win when you buy your tickets to SIPtemberfest online this year! Online sales start on Tuesday, July 9 at 8am.

1.) You can donate to For the Love of Dogs! When you purchase your tickets you can also opt to contribute directly to FLoD in the amount of your choice. While you have your credit card handy, help contribute to finding fur-ever homes for some adorable pups. Every gift, large or small, helps For the Love of Dogs Vermont meet its goal of rescuing and supporting dogs currently in high-kill shelters in the South. Their dogs live because you give.

2.) You can get a discounted subscription to Backcountry Magazine! SIP has teamed up with BCM this year so you can bundle your ticket with a sweet 1-year subscription (6 issues) at a discounted rate. Each issue is packed with high-definition photography and stories, trusted avalanche safety skills and reliable, unbiased gear reviews. From freeskiing to touring, exotic destinations to backyard zones, the history of skiing to the cutting edge, they cover it all. Plus for every subscription through SIP, Backcountry Magazine will donate $5 to For the Love of Dogs. Because dogs love the Untracked Experience too!

If you’re coming to our Pop Up Sale, July 7 from 11:30am-1pm at Mad River Glen, (and winning a voucher for a free SIP T from previous years!) you will still be able to take advantage of these opportunities when you redeem your tickets. Ask our team upon purchase or see your receipt for details.

SIP PRO TIPS:
  • TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF YOUR TICKETS! Cell coverage is pretty reliable but just in case, it can be immensely helpful to have a picture of your ticket on your phone for check-in. We can accept printed copies as well, but let’s save a tree.
  • YOU WILL NEED YOUR ID. 
  • Designated Drivers, underagers and puppy-viewers can enter SIP with a Visitor Ticket. These are only available at check-in for a $5 donation to For the Love of Dogs. Cash is preferred.
  • If it missed your radar, our new non-profit partner, For The Love of Dogs will be bringing a posse of adorable, adoptable puppies to SIPtemberfest! If you have any interest at all in bringing a puppy home, click here to fill out their application in advance. https://fortheloveofdogsvermont.com/adoption-application
  • Our Free Shuttles will be leaving from Waterbury and Waitsfield as scheduled for those who signed up. If you have questions about shuttles, please contact us. There’s still room!
  • The forecast currently looks like 60s and sunshine – primo beer fest weather! Regardless of the conditions, however, we always recommend sturdy footwear and layers. We’re on reasonably level but still rugged terrain and when the sun goes down it gets cool quickly! So check the forecast before you leave so you know which lederhosen to wear.
  • Unfortunately we were not able to get a very accurate beer menu by press time this year. But you’ll find a QR code on it that will link to the latest beer menu, our scavenger hunt list and more! So be sure to pick one up when you get your glass and tokens upon entry. Look at us getting mildly tech savvy!  
  • Don’t forget to check out the awesome SIP Merchandise in our HopShop! We have our 2023 t-shirts, hats & hoodies and more! And if you want a fun challenge, try our scavenger hunt and win some free swag – see the QR code on the menu for details!
