Sugarbush has more acres.

Is that right? I'd be interested to see the stats on that. I like Sugarbush but Snowbird is one of the most impressive places I've skied with great drops all over the place. That being said I've been lucky enough to get out to Utah most years and Snowbird is not my favorite place out there. I'm more inclined to stay on LCC road to Albion Lodge.

508 skiable acres vs 2200 for Snowbird.......they do say they have 4000 total acres but if you can't ski them ...Squaw valley has 4000 skiable acres and believe me you know it...it takes days to just explore some of it.

Uh...lets seee............no comparison...nope...not at all...Mineral Basin alone blows the place away!!!


+1. While the bush is a GREAT Eastern Resort, the bird is a GREAT Resort, period. IMHO, aside from having better snowmaking, the only other thing that the bush can compare with the bird on is that each of their next door neighbors don't allow snowboards. :rolleyes:

The bush is GREAT, but the bird is truely special
