Sugarbush is located in Vermont’s scenic Mad River Valley, offering a classic New England ski experience across 484 acres of terrain. With 111 trails and 16 lifts, the resort spans two distinct mountains—Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen—each with its own character and appeal. The mountain receives an average of 213 inches of natural snowfall annually, and extensive snowmaking ensures reliable coverage throughout the season. Trail difficulty is well-balanced, with 23% beginner, 42% intermediate, 27% advanced, and 7% expert runs.Families will find Sugarbush especially welcoming, thanks to its dedicated learning zones, tubing lanes, and four terrain parks with 18 rails. The resort’s ski and ride school offers programs for all ages, and the base areas are designed for easy navigation with access to rentals, dining, and childcare. Lincoln Peak’s Village is a hub of activity, while Mt. Ellen offers a quieter, more laid-back vibe with wide-open trails and fewer crowds.Visitors choose Sugarbush for its terrain diversity, authentic mountain atmosphere, and stunning views of the Green Mountains. The vertical drop of 2,600 feet and the 3-mile-long Stein’s Run provide plenty of room to roam, whether you’re carving groomers or exploring tree-lined glades. With a blend of challenge, charm, and convenience, Sugarbush delivers a memorable ski experience for all types of riders.

Snow Reporter Comments: April 2nd, 1:38 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers! As Spring works on making its mind up, we'll be set up for some fantastic firm laps today. Today's forecast brings along cloudy skies with temps settling into low 30s up top and upper 30s to low 40s at the base. Temps dropped below freezing last night, which allowed for a more traditional groom of the mountain. Come enjoy a fresh groom on fan favorites Jester and Birch Run as well as others. Please use caution on natural and ungroomed terrain as surfaces remain frozen this morning and cover is becoming thin in areas. Tomorrow we’ll be easing back into spring mode, with mid‑40s at the summit and mid‑50s at the base. Expect firmer conditions early, softening into classic spring snow as temperatures rise through the morning. Strong winds are forecast and may impact lift operations, so stay tuned for updates.We’ll be getting down on 175 skiable acres with 6 scheduled lifts and 14 of 35 trails groomed. Operations are in weekday Spring hours, with all scheduled lifts opening at 10:00 AM. Spring hours are: 10:00–5:00 on weekdays and 9:00–5:00 on weekends. The Sugarbush Parks crew rebuilt features on Slowpoke and Sugarbear Forest with the hope to keep those parks up through this weekend. There’s still plenty of fun to be had as we wrap up the season. Join us April 4th, from 11:00 - 2:00 PM, to take the plunge across a 100-foot pond at the base of Lincoln Peak. Whether you get wet or spectate from the crowd, be sure to participate in this Annual Rite of Spring. Racer's Edge will start the day as closed as crews work on prepping for the pond skim.If you’re already looking ahead to next winter, you’re in luck: season passes for next season are officially on sale. Now’s the perfect time to lock in the best deals and start dreaming about another year on the mountain. Check out all the sweet pass options and perks, we’ve got something for every type of rider.The Lincoln Peak evening route remains open, but the morning route is closed due to grooming work for the pond skim. The Mt. Ellen uphill route is currently open, but climbing conditions are challenging and you'll encounter a few open water bars. Please note that Inverness terrain and the terrain park are off limits. Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details.
