Great Mountain! Not their best year. This has been a rough year in the U.S. at most ski resorts.
Sugarbush has been 100% open for a while. Though, perhaps they should not be. Or, at the very least, in their trail report, they should indicate that many of their bump runs have thin cover and difficult to avoid rocks, and not just at the perennially thin area of Castlerock, where it would be expected.
This year, there are thin cover and experts only signs at a number of bump runs, including intermediate or single diamond runs like Moonshine and Lixi's Twist. Groomed runs are indeed better than expected. Stein's Run, whcih we were warned about, was actually a bit better, being windblown hard pack with insufficient bumps, but at least no visible rocks.
Perhaps this is just not the year to ski. But, I would appreciate more honest trail reports. Theirs will make me wait for natural snow dumps in the future rather than believing the obvious sales pitch of the trail report. And, I plan to tell them so too.

Got in some great spring skiing this past weekend at Sugarbush. In the morning ride the Castlerock chairand work skiers left to right (Middle Earth to Castlerock Run). In the afternoon head to Heavens gate chair for Paradise and Ripcord. Thats the way it softens up.

Awesome mountain. Except for being whiteout conditions to ski through in an April storm, really excellent snow base .... fresh powder on some parts of the mountain made for back country feeling at times. All terrain skis should be good for this place. Base lodge easy to get to; can walk from your vehicle with gear ready to ski. No crowds like other mountains ... liftopia tickets rock at this place .... you get your money's worth and then some at this mountain!

Great mountain, good challenge. To avoid the crowds on weekends or days with wind hold (which can happen somewhat frequently), stick to Mt. Ellen (i.e. North), which has plenty of great terrain. The steeps here are legitimate, and when the natural snow is plentiful, the trees are a fun place to play. For beginners and intermediates, there's plenty to ski, as well.

Stein's Way is SWEET! Moonshine is filled with moguls and makes for supersweet run also.
