Yes it is killer! I think it stays nice because those who know the bottom part stay away. I like to think of it as back country skiing so I can say I did it.

If that's the case they should take out all the lifts. The whole mountain would ski much better wouldn't it?

If I had hiked that last hump & then found the cut across to GMX closed I would've been really pissed.
This traverse is a workout, but it isn't quite THAT bad. This is essentially one trail we're talking about that has a unique character for lack of a better way to describe it.
It has not been roped off this season, and even if it is, you can still cut through by taking the last traverse to the left right before the runout goes downhill.
Going down to the sunnyD is for the birds.

Went there a couple of Thursdays already because of the cheap tickets. Probably be back a few times before the end of the season. Saturday I skied mostly at Lincoln with my daughter but took Slidebrook over to Ellen for lunch & a few runs. It would be nice to hook up for some turns. I already have a guide who showed me some hidden stashes at Lincoln. He's not on this site but on TGR & a fishing site I frequent (met him through the fishing site). Perhaps you know him? His handle is LIfishVT. or something like that. He works weekends at Lincoln & has gotten me employee discount tickets a few times.
edit: on TGR he goes by 2ski2fish4ever.

dunno any fishing people, but if he works Lincoln peak on weekends, I'm sure I know him by face.

i've done no hotel day trips to sugarbush and stowe. wouldn't recommend it in general. kills the neck. and that drive home can be sleepy dangerous.

Don't do day trips to VT from Brooklyn, actually weekends are a rarity for me. Only went for the weekend for my daughter who works full time, we stayed Fri./Sat. night. Skied K Sun. Me I'm mostly a weekday skier, usually ski 3-4 days every other week in VT, mostly at K but I bounce around.
My friend works weekends at Sugarbush, his wife is full time at Sugarbush in real estate . Not sure if his son still works there.

I pulled the trigger about a week ago on an on mountain condo at SB for MA school vacation. God I hope we aren't sitting in the condo playing Scrabble for the whole time.
I love how this thread is still going after 11 whole years!

Wow I didn't even realize it had been going that long. I just went back and read the first 7 pages, talk about a blast from the past. I was just telling my gf last week about how the set up used to be when I was growing up. Anyone know where I can find some pictures of what the old base area at LP looked like?
Bushmogulmaster used to run his own page on Sugarbush history that was really good. I will see if I can find it.
