A new vision for Sugarbush is the inspired work of the team at Sugarbush that is led by Win Smith – Chairman and CEO of Summit Ventures NE, LLC, the parent company for all resort operations. Win has been the guiding force behind the dramatic revitalization of the resort with the Lincoln Peak Village and Clay Brook Hotel and Residence project encompassing Phase One. Former Executive Vice President of Merrill Lynch & Co. and Chairman of Merrill Lynch International, Win made a graceful and timely exit from the world of high finance in 2002 to pursue his first passion -- skiing in the Mad River Valley. Overseeing all aspects of day-to-day resort operations, Win is resolved to do things right. In the winter, he can often be found up the slopes with guests looking for new ways to enhance the Sugarbush experience. Find him in the summer hiking the trails or playing a round of golf on our Robert Trent Jones, Sr. course which he believes to be one of the most scenic in the world.
