Sugarbush Resort at Mt. Ellen

So much fun. Such a great mountain for everyone!

My Ellen is the smaller side of Sugarbush resort. It is usually much less crowded with short or no lift lines. It is an old style lodge that has a lot of ambiance. The parking lot is the typical tier type but the transport shuttle passes ever few minutes so it is easy to get from your car to the lodge if you don't want to walk. The trails are usually also less crowded. There is a high speed quad that will take you to the main mountain when it's running. Check it out and have fun. Ski On!!!

We had to wait a while for the ski rental shop to open because they could not find the key. Skiing was great. Not all lifts open. Food on top floor great. Service for food great. Lodge is not fancy. We were there on a Monday and Tuesday. It was not busy. Lift ticket purchase system is all on- line, no staff except inside at the guest service counter.

Great mountain. Way better than the Lincoln Peak Sugarbush. Way fewer people and they actually run enough lifts to access all their terrain during the week, unlike the Lincoln Peak mountain. Just wish it was a cheaper price. $150 for an Ikon Pass Friends and Family ticket is a lot.

I like the mellow pace at Mt. Ellen. Very old school lodge (which is cool), and not as many amenities as its Lincoln Peak mate. However, that is not that important to me and the old lodges have a certain kind of charm anyway.
