Sugarbush Resort: Capital Projects Update #2: Evolving Reverse Traverse!

As you might have seen towards the end of last winter, crews have been working hard as we recut Reverse Traverse to give it a more downslope trajectory, eliminating the once dreaded slow traverse from the Valley House Quad over to Heaven’s Gate! In fact, it’s so improved that we will be moving to call the entire length of the trail between the two lifts, Heaven’s Gate Traverse, effectively turning two trails into one for simplicity. But have no fear, we’ll be bringing back an old classic to keep us at our lovely 111 trails. More on that soon. 

Reverse Traverse is also getting fully equipped with snowmaking for the first time ever! This will allow us a variety of snowmaking and trail opening options in the early season. In total the trail(s) now have 34 hydrants and 4,000 feet of snowmaking pipe between water and air.
