On the smooth shoulder of the Green Mountain massif lies a skier's major mecca, in facilities among the nation's best, and in atmosphere unique. Sugarbush runs its 9300-foot gondola lift to the top of 4013-foot Lincoln Peak. Flanking are two double chair lifts, one new this season, the practice slopes with their own T-bar lift. The area lies off Rte. 100 near Warren and Mad River Glen. Though one of the country's newest major ski areas, Sugarbush Valley already has doubled the capacity of its base-located Valley House. Below, four new lodges and a restaurant have been added. Sugarbush combines in ample measure: top facilities for serious skiers; an easy, informal atmosphere; spectacular scenery; prime conditions for beginners; and with these an emphasis on the social, after-hours pleasures of a winter holiday. |
