Bush Pilots meets every Saturday from 12/17/11-03/24/12, excluding 12/24, from 9:45 AM until 2:00 PM.
Imagine Egan's X-Team clinics, except it's every Saturday all winter... that's Bush Pilots. We take the mountain at its best … sprinkle in fresh snow … dump on world-renowned skiers like John Egan and only the finest Sugarbush coaches, like the VT North Pro Team members Jesse Murphy, Chris Parkinson and Dean Decas and you wind up thigh deep in the best expert coaching this side of Chamonix. Just sayin'.
Bush Pilots must be expert skiers of 18+ years in good physical condition, who ski aggressively on black diamond or double black diamond terrain. This group is fast-paced and demanding, with lift-rides often being the only reprieve. Must respond well to heckling and friendly ridicule.
Bush Pilots must have a Sugarbush All Mountain Pass and are encouraged to attend as many sessions as possible so as not to miss out on any adventures or guest coaches. With so many world-class skiers and coaches living or visiting at Sugarbush, you just never know who might show up.
As group interest dictates, additional early morning, late afternoon or off-site adventures may be planned, like Mount Washington, Mad River Glen and Jay Peak. Participants should be well equipped with fat skis, good bindings (alpine, randonee, or tele) and should seriously consider backpacks with food, water, backcountry gear, and extra layers.
Minimum 20 participants. Maximum 28 participants.
