Face it, there are mountain people and there’s everyone else. And if you’re a mountain person, Sugarbush is where you belong. What makes it special isn’t something man-made (though people surely help to make the place). It’s this mountain that makes us.
If you have a primal urge to feel yourself sliding down snowy slopes, this mountain makes you too. If you love being up high instead of at sea level, this mountain makes you. If altitude is your attitude, this mountain makes you. For people like you, for people like us, being in the mountains means being home.
Up, down. Up, down. Up, down. Far from being monotonous, every time I go up this mountain, I find a new way to slide down. Spending the whole winter here makes me, me.
I may only be eight, but I know what makes me happy. Sliding down big mountains. Ducking around trees. Launching off anything and everything. And Sleeper. More Sleeper, please.
I even like hanging out with my brother here, and that doesn’t happen anywhere. This mountain made me a little ripper, at least that’s what my dad says.

The Resilient Spirit of New England Skiers
Year after year, we watch the West Coast celebrate and flaunt their early-season snow. Out there, November powder days are almost a given, while for us, late-season yardwork feels like the trade-off. The thought of a green Christmas quietly lingers in the back of our minds. Do we feel mistreated? Undervalued? Maybe. Yet this season…
State of the Mountain 1/2/26
I hope everyone had a great holiday and New Year’s, whether here at Sugarbush or elsewhere. Since the last State of the Mountain blog when we were working through a nice thaw/freeze, we’ve seen conditions rebound to be excellent for about a week and a half, another thaw/freeze event complete with quite a bit of…
