Sustainability Mission
Sugarbush Resort is entrusted with the stewardship of lands in the Mad River Valley. We believe we have a responsibility to protect the natural environment so that we can continue our resort mission —to cultivate a spirit of lifelong adventure and camaraderie—for future generations. We aim to be an environmental leader promoting sustainable practices in these focus areas: forest, water, waste and energy.
We oversee the management of nearly 2000 acres
Or equivalent of 187 Sleeper trails
We process 19.5 million gallons of water annually for household usage
That’s enough to fill 536 pond skimming ponds
27.5% of our waste is diverted to recycling
That includes 41 tons of food scraps and 83 tons of recycling
Since the 2012-13 ski season, we’ve reduced electricity usage by 34.5%
Or 5 million kWh
Enough to power 430 homes for a year
