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 3rd, 1:15 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers! With a full slate of can’t‑miss events and spring skiing to match, this weekend is shaping up to be a great celebration of spring. Today's forecast calls for cloudy skies and comfortable temps in mid-to-upper 40s up top and mid-to-upper 50s at the base. Please use caution on natural and ungroomed terrain as frozen surfaces from overnight are topped with a layer of thawing snow, plus thin cover in some areas. Expect spring skiing with wet, granular snow developing as temperatures rise through the morning. Temperatures will drop close to freezing tonight, allowing grooming to expand to more terrain, so be sure to check out fan favorites Ripcord, Sunrise, and Lower Hot Shot. This cooldown will also cause today’s softened snow to lock up, so expect firmer conditions on upper mountain terrain early, with temperatures working to soften surfaces as the day progresses.We’ll be getting down on 160 skiable acres with 6 scheduled lifts and 20 of 34 trails groomed. Operations are moving to weekend Spring hours, Super Bravo and Heaven's Gate kicking it off at 9:00 AM, and all other scheduled lifts opening at 10:00 AM. The Sugarbush Parks crew has rebuilt features on Slowpoke and Sugarbear Forest for your freestyle needs this weekend. Racer's Edge will be closed today as crews work on prepping for the pond skim and will be reserved tomorrow for the event.There’s still plenty of fun to be had as we wrap up the season, and this is your last chance to score a FREE entry into this year’s Pond Skim.
