Hello SugarBlog readers! Long time, no chat. You know, in...

I like to think that after 3 and a half years of writing blogs for Sugarbush, we (you readers and myself) have formed some kind of connection. As someone who prefers to fly below the radar, after being recognized in public because of my name being tied to the blogs...
Come one, come all! The 4th of July is our favorite summer holiday here in the Valley. The community comes together to put on the best parade in the state and activities all weekend full of mountain charm, small-town magic, and classic summer fun at Sugarbush! If you’ve been, you...
Come take in one of the most scenic disc golf courses in the Valley! Our disc golf course located at Lincoln Peak is officially open for the season. Easier than ever, you can just scan and play. No need to check in to start your round. The Sugarbush Disc Golf...
This weekend, Saturday June 6th, head up to Lincoln Peak to kick off summer with us! The summer season is a special one, here in the Mad River Valley. What better way to celebrate warmth and sunshine, than with a pig roast?! Ignore what the weather forecast is, because we...
I’m pleased to share that our signature Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed golf course came through the winter in outstanding condition! I know that after a huge loss of the Golf Club this fall, there were some questions as to how operations would look this summer. Well, I’m happy to...
It’s no secret that you all love to hear what’s going on at Sugarbush. And I’m not talking just anything. You love the juicy details, the good, the bad, and the ugly – no matter the time of year. Each winter, when we bring back our State of the Mountain...
Over the past few days, I’ve been trying to come up with some wise words to leave behind, a parting gift of sorts. I searched for something clever and meaningful to pass along. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized something important: I’m not wise. Nor...
At Sugarbush, Earth Day isn’t a single moment. It’s something that threads through the entire season, through the early mornings, the last laps, the in-between spaces where you start to pay closer attention to the mountain itself. Love Your Mountain Week happens right alongside that. Not as a campaign, but as a continuation of the...
I think April is the most underrated month to ski. Maybe not for us spring die-hards, but the visitation stats typically tell us that many of you call it quits this time of year. I get it, it might be hot in Burlington, Boston, or New York, there’s no snow...
Spring Fling is back and it’s going to be one you don’t want to miss! Everything is aligning to make for the perfect spring concert. We have two killer bands to take us through the afternoon, sunshine on tap, partners with giveaways, and more. If you were at Pond Skim...
If you were at Pond Skim this weekend, WOW. You know what a day it was! It has been years since we’ve seen sun on a Pond Skim day…thank you April spring weather. We had Mother Nature on our side this year and it was amazing. I wish I could...
I think my professors hate me. Not because I’m disrespectful or forget to turn in my homework, but because my priorities have clearly been elsewhere this winter. Unfortunately, this is what happens when you’re a student at UVM. The mountains get closer, the snow gets better, and suddenly you find yourself skiing or riding more and...
Welcome to the end of March, a major transition here at Sugarbush, and one I personally look forward to every year. While we do say goodbye and thank you to Mt. Ellen for another fun-filled season, we also get to welcome in our spring operating schedule. Beginning Monday, March 30th,...
Year after year, our Pride Weekend celebration gets bigger and better. More guests to celebrate, more music, more fanfare, more FUN! You all are the reason we are able to host a weekend full of happiness, support, and uniqueness. So to start, thank you. Thank you for being open and...
It’s that time of yearrrr! Where 45 degrees feels warm enough to sit outside in a t-shirt and crocs and let the sun absorb into your skin. It’s one of life’s greatest feelings. The renewal that spring brings. Within that shift is the sweet spot where we get easy, soft...
Come one, come all! The 4th of...
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t look forward to Hogan’s opening every summer....
