Mountain facts? Steals and Deals? Directions to the hill? Come on! What do you think a website is for? You can find the boilerplate all within this website. If you're looking for a feature idea (or have one of your own), just give me a call. But if you're just interested in what we've been doing to get ready for the 2009-10 season (and a story idea or two,) the info below should help. Just looking for images? Click here.

New for 09-10:
 

• How about new terrain. We spent the summer expanding and adding 75 acres of new wooded terrain at both Mt. Ellen and Lincoln Peak. The expansion is part of our continuing effort to create new challenges and experiences for guests as well as removing the “fear factor” from wooded skiing and riding; some of the new areas have a gentle slope and more space between trees.
   
• We’ve Moved!! That’s right, the rumors are true! After years of being between the towns of Middle of Nowhere and Hard To Get To, Sugarbush Resort picked-up and migrated just south of Vermont’s biggest city—Burlington. It was an arduous endeavor, with all of the groomers, snow guns, base lodges, and hotels, not to mention the 162 million tons of mountains. A Herculean task. But we did it and now we’re only 45 minutes south of the Burlington International Airport, 3 hours from Boston, and just five and a half hours from New York City. Actually we’ve always been here (or there), our two mountains soaring above Route 100 and the Mad River Valley towns of Warren and Waitsfield. We just thought we’d let you in on our best-kept secret; we’re not as far away as you thought.

Cat skiing? In the East??

Yup. Well at least if you're at Sugarbush. We bought a 12-passenger Pisten Bully cabin cat last year. The “Lincoln Limo”, as it has come to be known, transports guests up to the mid-mountain Allyn's Lodge for specialty dinners and full-moon skiing and snowshoeing. But the real fun comes on powder days when the first 12 people to show up at Guest Services by 6:45 a.m. (or who call the night before) get to own the mountain until the lifts spin. The Lincoln Limo also makes us the only resort in the East to have cat skiing. And when Mt. Ellen’s closes the last Sunday of March, our highest peak becomes the domain of the cat.
