Sugarbush Resort is a ski resort located in the Mad River valley in Warren, Vermont, owned by Alterra Mountain Company. It is one of the largest ski resorts in New England. It has the second largest vertical drop in Vermont, third largest in New England behind Killington and Sugarloaf. Sugarbush was opened on December 25, 1958, by Damon and Sara Gadd and Jack Murphy. Alterra Mountain Company purchased Sugarbush in November 2019. Sugarbush has two mountain areas separated by Slide Brook Basin. The south side of Sugarbush, Lincoln Peak, is the resort’s main mountain area. To the north, separate from Lincoln Peak, is Sugarbush’s other mountain area called Mt. Ellen. Mt. Ellen’s top elevation is 4,083 feet (tied for third highest in the state with Camel’s Hump), and it has one of the largest continuous vertical drops in Vermont at 2,600 feet (790 m).
