About skiing in Sugarbush
Sugarbush in the Mad River Valley combines Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen. They have different road bases, so a single resort name is not a sufficient drop-off. Lincoln Peak has many main guest facilities; Mt. Ellen is a separate starting point. The local Mad Bus and the connecting lift are not interchangeable and may have different operating periods.
