My first experience was when I was in 1989 when I was 7. The conditions were really good. My favorite trail was Ripcord (ironic, since in another thread now I put it as one of my least favorites!). I pleaded to go on Stein's, but my dad didn't let me. That was pre-snowmaking on Stein's days, so it was the big, ungroomed mogul field. I don't think I ever actually got to ski Stein's before they changed it by adding snowmaking and grooming. If Sugarbush didn't have so much other amazing terrain, I would probably care more about that My dad actually would've taken me to ski Castlerock Run, but the lift wasn't running ... our impression (can't recall why) was that they were saving it for the weekend. From my memory, there certainly seemed to be enough snow to open it. I also skied Organgrinder a couple times, and had some issues there with getting caught in loose snow.
