Summer activities

Located in the heart of the Green Mountains in central Vermont, Sugarbush is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. An ideal summer climate and surrounding mountains, rolling hills, and abundance of hiking trails, rivers and streams provide the ideal setting for the pursuit of outdoor activities.

Winter activities

There is no doubt that it has some of the best skiing in the East with terrain cascading across six interconnecting peaks of two mountains, covering a total of 4,000 acres with 111 trails, 2,600 ft of vertical drop, two terrain parks, and a half pipe. Each area has its own personality and varied skiing - from epic glade runs like the Eden, steep mogul fields like the FIS and Ripcord, narrow and demanding runs on Castlerock Peak, and plenty of gentle groomers.

The resort has six cafeterias and a deli at the base with bars and lounges, ski shops and rental & repair shops. There are a variety of accommodation options including the beautiful Clay Brook resort development, new for 06/07, that offers superb ski-in ski-out access and luxurious accommodation – the highest quality resort accommodation in the East.

Cross-country and back country tours are available as well as an abundance of non-ski activities including sledding, Icelandic horseback rides, snowshoeing, movies, sleigh rides, snowmobiling, ice-skating and tubing. There are also spa and health clubs, indoor and outdoor pools and an indoor rock-climbing gym. All of these activities are available in the mountain resort, except for The Alta Day Spa which is in the nearby village of Warren.
