Day will become night at 3:27pm on Monday, April 8th when the total eclipse completely blacks out the skies above Sugarbush, VT. So why not have a party?

The Grift will be on stage in the Lincoln Peak Courtyard playing Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon when the once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon envelopes Sugarbush. And they’ll be sticking around for a post-Totality set while we serve up Tequila Moonrises, foamy bevs and a buffet out of Rumble’s.

Here’s your schedule:

• Lifts begin spinning at 10:00am
• The eclipse event begins at approximately 2:15 pm as the moon begins its transit across the sun.
• Live music from the Grift from 2:00pm to 5:00pm.
• Lifts shutdown at 3:10pm and will resume spinning once daylight has returned.
• No Foot Passengers allowed on the lift. If you take the lift up, plan on skiing or riding down.
• Specialty cocktails and food available in the Castlerock Pub and Rumble’s.
• Commemorative Totality-viewing glasses will be FREE in the Adventure Gear Shop starting at 12:00pm today. Supplies are wickit limited. Specialty merchandise will be on sale in the shop. Grab a sticker.
• Lifts at Mt. Ellen are closed for the season, but uphill travel will be allowed. NO uphill travel allowed at Lincoln Peak’s Heaven's Gate due to construction of a new quad chair scheduled to open for the 24/25 season.
• Mt. Ellen’s Green Mountain Lodge will be open from 12 - 5pm, bar only.
• Lifts close at 5:00pm. Party continues through Saturday, April 13th with G. Love taking the stage for the Third Annual Spring Fling Music Fest.

See it from the summit.
Want to see the total Totality? Grab one of only 12 seats in our cabin cat that will bring you to the summit of Mt. Ellen.

This is a limited offer where there will be no services available at the summit so come with a small pack that might include an extra layer and some snacks.
