    May Day - Free Day!

    That's right ... Sunday is free lifts for all at Sugarbush!

    Saturday looks awesome too and season pass holders from other resorts get 2 for 1 tickets. Bravo spins at 9am-5pm, Heaven's Gate at 10am-4pm, all weekend.



    This might be the end, but you never know. Come and get it!

    Yesterday.

    Guess I said all my "have a good summer" goodbyes at Heaven's Gate last weekend a bit too prematurely.....

    See y'all Saturday-Sunday!

    Awsome Weekend! Great to see all the regulars on the hill.

    What are the chances of another weekend? Looks like the cover will not stand another warm rainy week. There were several that were saying that this was it. Anybody heard anything?

    Still an official maybe ... there is plenty of cover, way more than we had two years ago when we re-opened on May 7th. I think next weekend's weather forecast is going to be a major factor.

    Keep the faith and pass the corn!

    We are officially done. Given the forecast, it will be sketchy at best. This weekend was the right memory to end with. Thanks to everyone for a terrific season and thanks to the regulars and the many "new" faces we saw yesterday. I wish I could have been out there with you. Everyone told me they had a great time.

    Understand but as past experience has proven before. Mother Nature and what happens by next weekend is way too far away to predict. As John stated above. There is a real lot of snow. And if weather was to not do as predicted then we should open. Long range is for sun on the weekend. Just wish the staff was a little more patient.

    They already plowed a big path up Springfling just to make sure. it will not be ski-able.

    That a side it was a great year and thanks to all!

    Lifts are not necessary for skiing

    GS: As long as snow is on the ground, one can ski. Lifts are not necessary to ski, just a convenience. I am sure if you want to ski this weekend or during the week, it should not be too hard to find a method to ascend the snow and ski down. Many will be skiing over the coming weeks and weekends, whether lifts are running or not, so if you go have fun and enjoy the nice corn harvest. I am sure I will be able to ski this weekend and am looking forward to it. AHM

    You miss the point. I do hike. Have 2 days in over the last week. But l much prefer skiing 20+ lift accessed runs in a day.

    Looks like I will have to venture to the other Sugar...Sugarloaf to make lift accessed turns. Or Jay. This weekend.

    I am calling it. Something that I have never done this early. BUT the mountain biking is top notch right now at home. My friends, the other ones I ignore for most of the year are killing it and I need to get my act together as to not look foolish. Actually I have been riding for two months now and I am having a blast on my new bike.

    Tree have a blast at the Loaf. All my SR friends will be up there. You will recognise them. I will tell them to look out for you.

    Santa Cruz, Blur Lt 2 with Pink handlebar streamers and a banana seat. It compliments my Nomad.

    No I think you missed the point, but glad you hiking some...

    The bush lift served is over and from a finances standpoint it does not make sense to turn the lifts. So, instead of asking to run the lifts, why not recognize that the lift served season in the east is basically history and try some of the great non lift served skiing out there now. Or finish it at the loaf or Jay and call it, while the rest of us continue skiing the nice corn that is sitting in all those non lift served places.
