Guru

Guru Rails in a partnership with Sugarbush Parks is currently working on a 24' down/flat/ down street rail for this upcoming season. I know the park crew is pumped on it and we can't wait to bury it for your enjoyment. Thanks again to Jason and the crew at Guru Rails, check out the stuff @gururails.com

October Snow

Woke up to 4 inches in the yard. The top of the mountain must have quite a bit of snow. It's on now!'

Snow?

Thats right there might be some snow on top of the Sugarbush peaks today. The temps are around 30 degrees. There has been a light mist of rain down here, so I would expect some fluff up top.  The cold snap has reminded us how close it is and how much there is still to do. What you do have to look forward to is, new events, new features, new crew members and acres of new woods terrain on Mount Ellen. 

Sugarbush Parks will be at Champlain College October 30th for the Ski/Ride club rail jam. Students be sure to pick up your passes at great rates and get out to enjoy the park.

We recently launched a Facebook group page for the park. Check it out, post something up.  http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=155734785568&ref=ts 

2009/2010

Hope everyone has been enjoying their summer, getting outside as much as possible. We here in the parks department have been gearing up for the season.  A lot of cool stuff has been planned and were putting it into action. Sugarbush is going to be the place to be. Stay tuned for more leaks about our progress.

All Done

The last few features have been pulled of the hill at Lincoln Peak. This year was a huge improvement over last. The parks were 100 times better, the level of riding was a lot higher, a scene is being developed, fun was had by all, respect was gained and this is only the start to the "NEW AND IMPROVED" parks department. Stay tuned for updates and happenings about the park for next season. Have an excellent summer and buy your passes early for the best rates!

Spring Fling

New park on spring fling. a smaller line, and larger line of rails.  The park on slowpoke has been taken out because gatehouse will be closing for the year. Sun in the forecast. Enjoy!
