The "Sugarbush Thread"

[Scruffy]

Sorry Scruffy. I wish I had better news. There is some snow in the forecast over the next 2 days so hopefully it over achieves. Saturday's forecast calls for 0 degrees and 25 mile an hour winds. I will be there as I have been away at other mountains for the last month but it's not looking pretty.

Thanks for the bad news. Kinda what I was expecting. :sad:

They better have brought in extra beverages because our crew will be hitting that part hard

Whoa:

In addition to the benefits of the Mountain Collective, we are making a number of changes to our Sugarbush season passes for next year. We will now offer a Sugarbush Adult Premium Pass (ages 40 - 64) for only $799, a Senior Premium Pass (ages 65 - 79) for $699, a Silver Senior Premium Pass (ages 80 - 89) for $149, a 90+ Premium Pass at no cost, a Youth Premium Pass (ages 7 - 18) for $349, a For20s Premium Pass (ages 19 - 29) for $349, and a new For30s Premium Pass (ages 30 - 39) for $549

Wow. Big drop in prices. Not anticipated. You can thank Vail for that.

My guess is yes. Last week was a big surprise to many that they decided to blow. Typically they build the depth they want on each trail and rarely go back after that unless they think the core spring trails need more (Steins/Snowball/Spring Fling).

GMVS could be paying for that though. One time they fired up really late March or maybe even April for GMVS I seem to recall.

True- but bad look when every practically every other area in the Northeast is firing up their system. Just do it on one trail- not Downspout.

Hopefully snowmaking will be a moot point this time next week.

Wow, slow your roll. These are not chickens yet.

That looks to be about 76 chickens.

This afternoon's Snow report says snowmaking will resume tonight on Straight Shot and Inverness, lasting until sometime tomorrow morning.

I'm there for a week, I have a quad pack. Those seem to be the most reasonable days to use the tickets, am I wrong?

Going right during a storm holds a high likelihood of wind holds and other weather related delays. Based on the current predictions I wouldn't want to start until Wednesday/Thursday when the storm has ended. But also, don't forget Thursday is $30 at Mt Ellen so no point in wasting a quad pack ticket that day.

And Friday is $17 at ME and also at MRG, if they reopen.

Since you are going to be there let the weather dictate when you go to the mountain. Why make your plans now when you have the ability to decide in the moment? Just saying.......

Does anyone have any experience with their seasonal programs for kids? I want to make Sugarbush our home mountain next year, but was hoping to get some intel first on the quality of their seasonal program (I have a bunch of kids) and anything overall to be aware of or to keep in mind. We were at Cannon last year and are Bretton woods this year.... I'd greatly appreciate any thoughts... Please feel free to pm me as well. THANKS!

I'm not locking anything in but those seem like the logical days

Tuesday Wednesday @ LP Thursday and Friday @ MElllen ($30 & $17) Saturday & Sunday @ LP. If Tuesday is windy use the ticket on Monday instead. Also all of those days you could head over to Bolton and ski @ night from 4pm - 10pm for 20 bucks. From Tuesday @ 8am until Sunday @ 4pm there are only 40 hours you can't ride a lift but there is always skinning.
