I was looking to take advantage of the nice discount to Sugarbush pass holders. My friend is going Tuesday night to Sundown. Was wondering how the crowds are on a Tuesday night? Can't beat $19.00 bucks for night skiing. Like I was still in High School! Need to hit the seeded Bumps Too!

You'll run into the school groups and racers. School groups clear out between 7:30 and 8:30. Don't let that dissuade you, though. Definitely better than a weekend day crowd! :D

In my experience, most school groups are out of there by 7:30. Tuesday night is the CISC race night which runs from 7-9 pm so lower skier's left on Gunbarrel will be occupied by the course. A few times a season they run the race from the upper start shack so on those nights more of the trail will be off limits. They usually run both triples on Tuesdays I believe and the racers will typically use lift 2. Still, waits should be a minute or less and the rest of the trails won't be crowded. The bar will be packed afterward, often times with racers spilling out into the lodge. The bumps should still be skiing very well Tuesday night. Hope to get out for a few runs after racing.

It's probably one of the busier nights, since there's CISC racing that night, but it's still more than manageable. Nothing like a really busy weekend or anything. Last week the lift lines were less than a minute to ski on for the most part.
