Does anybody know if your coming from NH route 89 which is the fastest way to Sugarbush?
Is it ext. 3 Bethal and take route 100 backroads or ext.9/Middlesex route 100south? I know
they both work, but what take less time?

neither, take exit 5 to Roxbury Gap - this is the fastest

I had the same question and this thread (http://forums.skimrv.com/about1123.html) answered it very thoroughly for me. Thank you, people who posted in that thread!

Thanks for the help. I may stick to 100 because I drive a sportscar. The Roxbury
Gap seems a little scary.

Well, if that is the case, then it may be best to go from Middlesex/Moretown down 100B. That road is not too bad....

And I'd ski with you at our 10am SkiMRV meeting, but I am planning on being at Burke on Saturday.

Thats cool. I plan on driving up Saturday morning and skiing in the afternoon.
Where do you have your meetings?

We've been trying to have ski gatherings at 10am at Allyn's Lodge...midmountain...but we may be rethinking that...

Then you may want to head further south, to Killington...

Forget Killington! I skied it once and that is why we bought Sugarbush!

Killington is not what it used to be. I 'm sure Sugarbush will be worth the trip.

I wasn't aware we had requirements for specific driving abilities to ski here. :roll:

We don't even have specific skiing ability requirements, but if you aren't able to ski it all as well as you would like, we have some very good instructors to help you get to that level. (Now that I said that, I'm sure they'll let me cut in front of the3m in line, today. :lol:)

Killington wasn't what it used to be, when it was what it used to be. :lol:

Sugarbush is worth the trip! :wink:

What exactly is The Roxybury Gap like? Is it steep? I don't mean to sound like a wimp,
but I have a very nice sports car.

Do you have aggressive snow tires on that very nice sports car? All Season radials don't count. Take 100B. Then take the gap this summer when you come up to hike/bike/paddle.....

Definitely go 100B. Roxbury Gap is dirt for much of the way and you can get some nice tire ruts going on it. I tend to go 100B more often than not just because it allows you to space out moreso than driving the Gap. Plus, it's really not that much longer in terms of time.

Thanks for the advice and I will use route 100B. Of course I do have Blizzack snow tires on, but still.

You're going to love Sugarbush. I travel from Bethel, (have a house about half way up the Bethel Mt road) over the mountain road to Rochester then up 100. Both Rochester and Bethel do a good job of keeping the road cleared. I've been driving this way for about 30 years, it's paved now all the way. Once you hit Rochester, it's about 22 miles.
