Forecast today: Occasional snow
- Max temp: -8.2 °c
- Min temp: -14.4 °c
There’s good beginner zones at the foot of both Lincoln Peak and Mt Ellen, with the former providing more in the way of steeper terrain higher up.
There are some very good long blues, steep blacks and gladed tree-skiing for powder days. All main runs on both mountains are covered by a comprehensive snowmaking system and a slick lift system means you’ll be riding fast lifts most of the time, including on the traverse across between the mountains via the world’s longest chairlift, the Slide Brook Express.
There is little in the way of accommodation at Mt Ellen, but at the main Sugarbush base there’s a good range of on-slope, ski in ski out accommodation, making this a very family-friendly destination. Getting here is easy from Burlington regional airport, or alternatively you can make the long drive from Boston. Make sure that when you visit, you spend a day just up the road at Mad River Glen, one of the USA’s best old school ski resorts – a ride on its legendary single chair is an absolute must.

Snow Overview
USA
Updated 20/12
A slow and steady season looks to be on the cards for the USA, with continental high pressure continuing to box out influxes of low pressure off the Pacific keeping things generally mild and dry for this period. The Left Coast itself – including PNW and Sierras – will see temperatures at mid-mountain hovering around freezing, with a few bursts of snow coming in at times. This will be felt the best in the PNW, where Sunday and Monday could see about 10cm down.
Further inland, high pressure dominates, keeping things cold but otherwise fine, dry and bright for the Rockies and Tetons.
Out East, a bitterly cold snap moves through the region accompanied by a few floccons to keep things fresh over the weekends, with overnight lows of -30°C (-22°C) possible. Things improve as the Christmas week begins, with more sunshine and less cloud in store for this period, and temperatures climbing albeit staying cold – just less cold than the weekend!
