The natural beauty and mountain environment provide a striking setting and a true escape from the everyday. Our home - the Mad River Valley - provides a reason in and of itself to visit Sugarbush. "The Valley" as locals call it, is full of Vermont charm and empty of stop lights and fast food joints. Quirky shops, great restaurants, artisan galleries, covered bridges, church steeples, and more…all strung together by the winding Mad River.
Mad River Glen Ski Area is located in Waitsfield, Vermont, with 45 ski trails, served by 5 lifts. Mad River Glen is America's only cooperatively owned major ski area and its slopes are free of snowboarding. Mad River Glen offers 800 acres of boundary-to-boundary tree skiing.
Vermont is one of only a few places in the world that has just the right combination of climate, soils and tree species to produce the spectacular array of colors that is fall foliage. Colors in Central Vermont generally turn the last 10 days of September and remain colorful through mid-October.
