Sugarbush bought it just before I was born, but I just think the name makes more sense than North, and has a nice ring to it.

Afterall Glen Ellen is the place to be :wink:

Lets just pray that MRG doesn't become Sugarbush West :twisted:

Actually calling it North is passe' as well, officially Mt Ellen but between you and me I still call it North too. The owner at the time, Roy Cohen had major shortcomings but buying Glen Ellen was perhaps his biggest success.

North is nice and short, easy to say when your face is frozen :lol:

Now that they are back to Sugargbush, and Mt Ellen, it is less confusing for weekenders etc..., Calling it Mt Ellen is a good comprimise.

The first brochure announcing the purchase is kind of funny, as all of a sudden Sugarbush is acknowledging the fact that Glen Ellen even existed, and that all of a sudden Sugarbush Valley had all this new terrain that was allwayse there......

I've always known them as South and North, but I'm 16 so who knows...

Ah, the fantasies of one big hill... we had a topic on it not that long ago... I for one want to develop the Mt. Abe Basin, Slide Brook and Big Basin... it would be The Vail of the East... even K-mart couldn't beat that...

Ahhhh.....Sugarbush Valley, Sugarbush Chamber of Commerce, now your talking about a major can of worms originating from back then. Hard to believe but they finally took off the Sugarbush Valley sign on the highway signs just a couple of years ago. Apparently VDOT moves alittle slowly :lol:

noski..was it two years ago you were last working for the Sugarbush Chamber of Commerce. Amazing what $50,000 will buy you back then in the Roy Cohen days?

:oops: sorry for the hijack

I'm looking for one pass for the entire Lincoln Gap to App Gap terrain (ala Alta/Snowbird), but develop it? No way, Jose.

We actually have that...sort of.. if your willing to do a ski and stay package. If there are 2,4,6,8 people in your group it's actually a very sweet deal. Check www.madrivervalley.com click on the "ski the valley" banner.

now back to "who's skiing on Sunday"?
