Are you looking to make friends with other like-minded winter sports enthusiasts in NYC or Boston?
You’ve come to the right place!
Join our team and other like-minded enthusiasts on a ski trip to Vermont’s Sugarbush, which is home to not just some of the most beautiful and diverse terrain in the East, but also some of the most challenging steeps in the entire country.
And because we want this to be the best ski weekend you’ve ever been on, this isn’t just some ordinary ski trip—it’s a turn-key experience with every part of the trip already planned out. Our hope is that this is the most memorable East Coast ski trip you’ve ever been on.
So what are we going to be doing?
Keep reading to see what we’ve planned out for — from trip start to trip end — when you join us in Vermont this January.
Itinerary
PeakHouse Vermont is going to show you the best parts of a New England ski vacation, both on and off the slopes, with a focus on epic skiing and communal bonding. We’ve planned an itinerary that caters to everyone — whether it’s your first time on the slopes, you’re a tenured expert, or you’re just there for the après. Most importantly, every day is home to social events to ensure you get to know your fellow trip-goers.
Dates: January 24-26, 2025 (Friday to Sunday)
Accommodation: Hostel Tevere, which can fit between 15-22 people.
Location: 10-minute drive from Sugarbush ski resort.
Resort: Sugarbush, VT
Day 1: Vermont Arrival (Friday)
Arrive: Get to Hostel Tevere between 4-10pm. Transportation from New York or Boston to the accommodation is included.
Pasta Dinner Kick-Off: Fresh pasta dinner at restaurant within Hostel Tevere. Happy hour and ice breakers in the common room.
Hit the in-house bar (Optional): Did we mention that Hostel Tevere has an in-house bar? Experience some of the best nightlife the Mad River Valley has to offer without even leaving the accommodation. Drinks served at the bar are not included with the trip cost.
If you want to enjoy complimentary beer and hard seltzer, come hang out in the hostel’s common area—which is exclusive to PeakHouse Vermont participants.
Day 2: Skiing/Riding at Sugarbush (Saturday)
Catered Breakfast: Start out the day at the hostel with a hearty breakfast. Lunch meat and generous snacks will be available to pack sandwiches for the slopes.
Morning of skiing/riding Sugarbush:
Beginners: check out the Gate House area for some of Sugarbush’s best gentler terrain, including a cool small freestyle zone.
Intermediates: head to the Valley House Quad to avoid the lift lines of Super Bravo. Get some laps in on Sugarbush’s fantastic Gad Peak cruisers.
Advanced/Expert: Start the day on the North Lynx Triple, which is home to some nice leg burners that will get you ready for the truly daunting steeps Sugarbush has to offer. If time permits, head to Heaven’s Gate to check out the iconic Paradise and Ripcord trails.
Sugarbush Lunch (Optional): Meet up with the crew at the Lincoln Peak base lodge to grab a bite! Either bring your own sandwich from the ski lodge (included with trip cost) or grab some cafeteria food (approximately $15-$25).
Afternoon of skiing/riding Sugarbush:
Beginners: continue exploring Gate House, and perhaps take a ride up the Super Bravo lift if you feel ready!
Intermediates: head up to the Heaven’s Gate lift, which rises to the top of Sugarbush’s Lincoln Peak! Check out the Jester run, which has some of the best views of any Vermont ski trail.
Advanced/Expert: This is the moment you’ve been waiting for—a trip to Sugarbush’s legendary Castlerock area. This ungroomed, natural-snow-only area has no easy ways down, and it’s famous for offering what might be the most intense in-bounds terrain in Vermont. NOTE: if it’s a powder day, we will most likely switch the morning and afternoon itineraries around.
Après at the chalet: Head back to the chalet to relax and unwind before dinner. Drinks and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
Burger dinner: Time to carb and protein load after a cardio-intensive day on the slopes! We’ll have burgers, chicken sandwiches, and vegetarian options
Hit the bar (Optional): Go back to the bar for round 2! Or hang out in the hostel’s common area and enjoy complimentary drinks.
Day 3: Skiing/Riding at Sugarbush (Sunday)
Catered Breakfast: Start out the day at the hostel with a hearty breakfast. Lunch meat and generous snacks will be available to pack for the slopes.
Departure from accommodation: Pack up belongings for departure to hometowns straight from the resort!
Morning and early afternoon of skiing/riding Mount Ellen:
Beginners: check out the Green Mountain Express area for the gentler lower-mountain terrain of Mount Ellen.
Intermediates: head to the North Ridge Express Quad to check out the best cruisers at Mount Ellen, including Rim Run, Elbow, and Lookin’ Good.
Advanced/Expert: head right to the summit! Check out F.I.S., which is the steepest trail at Sugarbush, and Lower F.I.S., which is the longest ski run at the resort.
Bonus: if it’s open, ride the Slide Brook Express Quad between the Lincoln Peak and Mount Ellen sides. As the longest chairlift in the world, this ride is a commitment, but it’s about as beautiful as an East Coast lift ride can get!
Depart Mount Ellen between 1-4pm - transportation provided back to New York or Boston.
Arrive back home between 6-10pm. No vacation days from work needed!
