This year Sugarbush has allocated over a million dollars toward improvements in our snow making capacities. An $800,000 investment was made in snowmaking upgrades, as well as a $500,000 purchase of groundbreaking new snowgun technology. This addition of forty ultra-low energy snowguns, which require vastly less compressed air to operate, will permit us to double our snowmaking production during warmer early-season temperatures, running more snowguns simultaneously at both Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen. Because these snowguns use significantly less electricity per gallon of water, they will help us reduce our energy consumption without compromising either the quality or quantity of snow. This investment will permit top-to-bottom skiing on more trails sooner at Lincoln Peak. We have also invested in a new Piston Bully cat with winching capabilities to produce the evry best snow surfaces possible. These improvements and upgrades are just another way we are making the Sugarbush experience even better.

Lincoln Peak Village at Sugarbush is an amazing destination for a family vacation. Complimenting the luxurious Clay Brook Hotel and Gate House Lodge are two new skier services buildings completed in late 2010. The Schoolhouse, whose interior is uniquely decorated with murals by local artists, houses the children' ski and ride school. The Farmhouse is home to a new state-of-the-art rental shop, the Sunrise Cafe, the adult ski and ride school, and the resort real estate office. Brought together by an inviting courtyard, the buildings complete an ultra-convenient slopeside community. Multiple restaurants, daycare, spa services, a health club, retail shops, equipment rentals, a general store and spectacular lodging are all at your fingertips while vacationing at Sugarbush. As one guest commented, "here's no reason to go out West anymore."

Sugarbush's Executive Chef and VP of Food and Beverage Gerry Nooney is serious about local food. In 2009, he was named Vermont Chef of the Year--in part for his commitment to sourcing ingredients from local producers, as well as for his Ski Vermont Farmhouse Chowder recipe. Gerry's commitment is evident in the resort's many dining options, which are suitable for any taste and budget. Timbers Restaurant, an upscale dining experience, features dry-aged steaks, seafood and the freshest produce available, sometimes harvested from the resort's own localvore gardens. Hogan's Pub at the Golf Course and the slopeside Castlerock Pub are the perfect places to sink your teeth into a juicy hamburger from the Mad River Valley's own Neill Farm. And this season, The Grill at The Sugarbush Inn unveils a new menu of locally-inspired casual comfort food. Lastly, don't forget to accompany that meal with some of the best craft-brewed beers Vermont has to offer.
