"We've always known the 'Bush is a special place, but climbing 12 spots in only four years clearly shows just how committed our team is to making Sugarbush a better resort year over year," said Sugarbush president Win Smith. "The improvements we've made over the last three to four years, both in the new base facilities and the quality of terrain we provide, are really making a difference to our guests' experience," he added.
