hahaha Mike..
I like the "not much nightlife". Sugarbush is to nightlife is what Vermont is to cheap electricity (ok everyone else, its really expensive). I agree with all you said about Sugarbush. I think the glades boarding is killer there though. I had a magical time there a few times last Winter. Their pipe/park situation is pretty weak imho if you're into parks. Their pipe (whenever i've ridden it) sucked. Although maybe I just came at the wrong time. Plus you come off of it and you have about 100m before you crash into the lodge. Its eye candy for the people spending all their cash drinking beer and eating. Its also really quick to get you in the ambulance after you eat sh*t digging an edge into a foot of ice at the lip (JUST MY EXPERIENCE) And just because I'm not boarding today, and real bitter and ****ed off due to the failed snow event we were supposed to get, I'll throw in a big "Stowe sucks" in there.

I'll just say I've heard one of the (new) owners has some NYC newspaper connections and I'm not surprised to see it in there. The great things about Sugarbush is a)not that crowded b)varied terrain The bad are a)IMHO grooming is subpar b)many of the more challenging runs are only bumped, which means they can be very hard boulders much of the winter (nothing like -25 at night to 'firm up' that snow!) I don't do park and pipe, but they have made an effort the past few years to do that right and things looked pretty good last year. Not much nightlife either and the little there was took a hit last year when the main bar in town got shuttered. Sherriff had a woody for it and kept busting people for DUI. Lest I soudn too negative, after a big dump its hard to beat it Vermont. Cheers, -sd http://www.zoom.sh |
