    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    I got darn fed up waiting until the lift closures were firmly announced by Win. I have to believe that it was definitely a complete safety issue, but there was a meltdown in communication to the many who were waiting in extremely cold and windy lift lines. Many day ticket holders. TReeskier...

    Powder Mountain Size Claims

    We spent a week in a condo nor PowMow last winter. We hit about 20+ inche of freshies. Inside the line is overall;; docile. Lightning Ridge is reasonless challenging, but the best of PM is the snow cat skiing and the tree skiing with a dirth of skiers and fresh lines days later. We broke it...

    Sugarbush Lincoln Peak - 01-09-2016

    The bus runs between Lincoln & Mt. Ellen every 1/2 hour. I have used it 3 times already this season to catch the great co ditions at both peaks.

    Sugarbush on top

    Spillsville & Lower Paradise were already sketchy by last Sunday. I suspect that same will likely be true in a few days for Mall, Moonshine & Twist without more natural snow. But, at least they are open today!

    VT Digger Reports on EB-5 "Saving" Sugarbush

    I was a long term Sugarbush skier who left the mountain from 1995 until returning in 2010. The folks who are critical of Sugarbush's use of EB-5 have the right to voice your opinions, but there really is nothing to complain about here. Overall,Vermont is really a depressed state economically...

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    My understanding is that the issue holding SB back on blowing more snow on more trail sectioms simultaneously was always not enough air, not water. i believe that all of the new Lo-E snowguns alomg with some work on a couple of compressors may be allowing the MT to alleviate this bottleneck.

    Why People Don't Ski?

    Most folks that I know who do not ski always respond that it is too cold& that they would rather fly to warmer environs in the winter. And that was even more prevalent last winter. Like Scottyskis, I always offer that I will loan them clothing that will keep them warm, and reinforce that...

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    I think that there was a loss of Senior skiers to other lower priced senior pass mountains inVT and that with the success of the Boomer Mid Week pass and the $$ being spent on the VH chair, Win wants to put as many people as possible on the mountain, young, old , families, college age, , middle...

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    After complaining about the $$ Treatment of Senior Skiers when the age was raised to 70, this reversal of philosophy by reducing the age back to 65 was welcomed with open arms last May by this 66 year old skier.

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    I received an email from Sugarbush announcing that their Price on the Boomer weekday pass will be held at $99 through May 6th. What was of much more interest to me was that the minimum age of their all mountain 7 Senior Pass has been reduced from 70 to 65 and is priced at $599 through May 6th...

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    I ski the VH Double all the time. one trip up Bravo and never walk up the hill. When Bravo is cold and the wind is coming from the wrong direction VH is the way to go. And there is really little time difference in the trip up compared to the combination of going up Bravo & skiing the...

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    Many of us have determined that some of these so-called open trails will not feel the bottoms of our skis if we desire that the skis will survive. 😜 Good to see that they will finally be blowing snow on Steins.
