This season has been one of the most incredible winters New England has seen in… honestly, I don’t even know how long. Decades? Centuries? Since the Ice Age? In my 23 years of Vermont skiing, I can confidently say this will go down as one of the greats, the sheer...
Believe it or not it’s already time to start thinking about next year, and that means season passes! Both Ikon Passes and Sugarbush passes are on sale for their best prices of the year. Additionally, products like Quad Packs, Sugarbush Reserve, and SHaRC and Gold add-ons will be on sale....
When people think about the best time to ski in Vermont, midwinter usually gets all the credit. January, February, during those holiday breaks, sure, we definitely see some decent snow during that period (this season is no different). But, ask a local and an answer you may hear more often...
Our Wonderful J-1’s, they are your hosts and bussers in Rumble’s, the Castlerock Pub, The Green Mountain Lounge, Allyn’s Lodge and Walt’s. They loaded you on the chairs at Lincoln Peak or Mt Ellen, sold tickets and passes, helped you park your car or watched your children at the Day...

Our favorite time of year is just about here! Spring at Sugarbush is filled with fun events, sunny turns on the hill, and endless fun to round out the ski season. March kicks it all off with events every single weekend from après music to our annual Pride Weekend and...
This has got to be one of my favorite blog types to write, because I love showing off this spunky little valley. There’s so much to do, but this community truly shines in the winter. It’s a bustling little village blanketed in winter white from late November through April. And...
What a time to be alive. Well, alive AND a Sugarbush skier that is. Things have been nothing short of great for what feels like months at this point. We’ve been 100% open a large chunk of the year and the snow just keeps on falling. After another foot of...
A week of winter fun from first chair to last call! Packed with skiing, riding, and special events for all ages. From family-friendly activities to après celebrations, it’s the perfect mid-winter getaway. We’ll have returning favorites like High Energy Juggling with Jason Tardy and Paint the Town for all you...
It’s been a banner season so far in the east and the conditions on and off the trails are outstanding right now. This is the time of the season when it’s tempting to venture off trail into the woods, side country, and backcountry. We encourage exploring here at Sugarbush, but...
If you’ve scoped out the webcams this season, perhaps you’ve noticed the new design. We’re excited to share that Yestermorrow Design/Build School has partnered with Sugarbush Resort to design and build brand-new snow stakes for our webcams, blending mountain function with thoughtful, local design. In Episode 4 of This Mountain...
Winter showed up in a big way at Sugarbush this week. A powerful storm, Fern, rolled through and delivered 20 inches of fresh snow, making it the biggest snowfall we’ve seen all season. From first chair to last tracks, the mountain was fully refreshed all day long. Trees absolutely loaded,...
At Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sports, our community is built on connection—the kind that starts on snowy slopes and extends through every shared adventure, every encouraging word, and every season of growth. For Jimmy Keith, that connection began at age three at Sugarbush Resort’s Mt. Ellen base lodge, where he...
This time last year we announced our first ever impact report, the Be Better Here Report. You can read John’s post all about it here. I’m thrilled to announce that this project continues. With the hope it will continue, of course, for years to come. And while each year might...
Let’s start this one off with a banger: Slide Brook opens tomorrow. No need to rub your eyes. No need to shake your head in cartoonish surprise. It’s real and it’s happening. Tomorrow we’ll have all 16 lifts spinning between both mountains. For everyone yearning for this day to come,...
