Sugarbush, USA - Vermont

Sugarbush is my favorite ski area in the northeast and has been my first choice for skiing for the last 40 years. It is very scenic, with sharp mountain contours, numerous peaks, and great views of the Adirondacks to the west, the Green Mountains to the north and south, and the White Mountains to the East from the summits of Mountain Ellen and Lincoln Peak. It has true vertical drops of 2650 feet from Mount Ellen, 2400 from Lincoln Peak, 2237 from Castlerock Peak, 1725 from Lynx Peak and 1575 from Gadd Peak. It has a wide variety of interesting and challenging trails that easily hold my interest for a week of skiing. I especially like the Organgrinder and Paradise from Lincoln Peak, the glades of Twist and Moonshine from Gadd's Peak, the combination of Sunrise and Sleeper from Lynx Peak, Rim Run and the Exterminator from Mout Ellen, and the wonderful, long cruisers of the Jester from Lincoln Peak and Snowball from Gadd's Peak. The Slide Brook Express takes one on a relaxing and scenic tour of the wild mountains between Sugarbush south and north, interconnecting these two areas. I enjoy staying at the quaint Sugarbush Inn, less than a mile away from the ski area.
