Sugarbush mountain

In the winter i ski a lot, almost every weekend in fact, and I ski at a resort called Sugarbush. Sugarbush is located in Wastfield and Fayston Vermont. It is split up between two mountains, Lincoln Peak, and Mt Ellen. Lincoln Peak stands at 3,975 feet, while Mt Ellen is 4,083 feet. Mt Ellen has two peaks, Ellen and Inverness. Invernesss stands at 2,750 while Ellen peak is the top. Over at Lincoln, it has 4 peaks. Gadd peak at 3,150, Lincoln peak at 3,975, Castlerock at 3,812 and  North Lynx at 3,300. Lincoln is the main mountain, mailny because it has the most trails, most space, and it has the main resort their. The resort hotel is there along with ski school, a restaurant, and season pass station. Both mountains have a main lodge where you can get food, but Linconls is much bigger so it can cater to more people, because at some points in the year, you can wait for 20 minutes at the main lift at Lincoln, but only wait for 2 minutes at Ellen. Most people visiting for a weekend go to Lincoln because as I stated before, the ski school is there and the hotel is there. Both sides have a racing course, over on Gadd Peak, there is a NASTAR course which is a national ski racing program, in which they time you, and you can receive medals. Over on Inverness Peak, there is a real racing course on which the Sugarbush ski racers race on. This is the basic overview of the mountain, I will be going more in depth on each mountian so you can know what the best trails, and the best peaks. Here is a map down below:

  2. I always love skiing the East cause its where I'm from, but I have to say I think the West is 10x better.
