Dine at Chez Henri in Sugarbush Village. It is an authentic French restaurant and has had a great reputation since the 1970s. A real find
Sugarbush review written Mar 09 2013 - 10:09 PM
Sugarbush is a great mountain. The staff are friendly and helpful and seem genuinely happy to be there. I think the best thing about the terrain is the bump skiing, which is enhanced by the almost daily snowfall at the mountain. The "black" terrain is very consistently medium steepness with medium bumps. Very good for the aspiring bump skier or the seasoned veteran/rubber knees. Looking forward to going back !!!
Ripcord and FIS are very steep if you are looking for a challenge. Also, Castlerock peak is all natural snow so beware of unexpected terrain features (rocks, dirt, etc) but if you are comfortable on varied terrain this peak is one of rare awesomeness.
Please enjoy!

If Slide Brook lift is closed, there is a shuttle that runs between the bases every half hour.
I love the terrain of the trails...the variations (pitch of slope, bends in trails, and trees) keep it interesting and fun. Eden is awesome with fresh snow!

Have not been to Sugarbush in many years. Been going to Stowe. Went to the Bush this past weekend. Not impressed. 2 new buildings went up too close to the bottom lifts. Congested feeling. The line at Super Bravo lift is on a hill and lacks organization. Chaotic to say the least. Not 1 chair takes you to the summit. Requires 2 lifts.

Very cold weekend but has to be the best mtn that I've been to in the northeast. We go to Stowe every year for this weekend and wanted to try sugarbush since its within an hr drive. I was very impressed with sugarbush. We will be back to sugarbush.

Go to Vermont to ski once every year...we go for 2 days, each at a different place, every time we think of doing 2 different new ones we always change our minds and ski Sugarbush 1 day and someplace new the other. Sugarbush is the Best! My Dad skiied there many times for 30 years he made it our favorite too!! and Liftopia helps us save, what a find!!, you are perfect the way you are, so easy to do!! Thanks.

My first visit to Sugarbush and what a Epic trip. Boarded on a Sunday thru Wednesday with my College daughter and 7 buddies. Conditions were great, not one line and lots a great terrain on both North and South so did not get bored at all. Great mountain for boarders as not much traversing to get to the runs. Will be back in February :)

Great mountain. Not sure why this guy says that the bush is easy. Go drop the Church and call me from the hospital.....
Great natural snow and trails. Great sidecountry. Plenty of space, so that crowds are rarely an issue (weekends and holidays aside)
Get deep in the 'Bush!!

Great mountain, great snow, fun trails. I've skied much larger places but in terms of a just a relaxing fun day of skiing Sugarbush is tops. I preferred the Mt. Ellen runs. I wouldn't recommend Sugarbush if you're looking for a challenge, the mountain was quite easy, but for a enjoyable day on the slopes you can't go wrong.

The trails and scenery are amazing esp. the 2 mile ride across Slide Brook Basin (but only open on weekends), the staff is super friendly and best of all the resort is Dog Friendly!!!
Sugarbush review written Mar 17 2012 - 02:22 PM
Skiing was phenomenal @ Sugarbush this week.
Next Monday all tickets at Mt. Ellen are $30 a day incl. w/e's

Grew up in the hills of VT, skiing since a toddler. I've skied em all and Sugarbush is the best ski area experience in VT in my opinion. They have such a great variety and number of excellent trails and it's not crazy full of tourists like Killington.

Great place considering the winter they have had! Great runs, fast lifts and plenty of challenging runs.
Sugarbush review written Feb 12 2012 - 11:23 AM
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.

Great mountain, great service. I would love to ski their again. I only skied one day, I would love to go back and check out Mount Ellen.
Sugarbush review written Feb 03 2012 - 07:24 PM
Upper Mountain has a lot of snow left on it... when it warms up and snow softens conditions are going to be sweet...skied most of the woods on Lincoln Peak this weekend and they were still covered..if they could download ,the Bush could be oprn until Mid may

Great variety, awesome trails ...just beware of the flats especially when temps above 32

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.
Sugarbush review written Apr 13 2011 - 08:31 AM
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!

Ripcord Rimrod. Fast! Fun!
Sugarbush review written Mar 15 2011 - 02:04 PM
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.

Great day of skiing at Sugarbush. A bit gusty but the snow conditions were fantastic.
Sugarbush review written Feb 10 2011 - 05:02 PM
Stein's Way is SWEET! Moonshine is filled with moguls and makes for supersweet run also.
