“The base village at Lincoln Peak, in Warren, Vermont. One of two mountains that make up Sugarbush, the other being Mount Ellen a few miles north. The cluster of timber-frame lodges sits at roughly 1,535 feet, with the Heaven's Gate quad reaching a summit near 3,975. In shoulder season the village quiets to a few footfalls on wet planks, the chairlifts still, the spruce pulling fog off the ridge. from the studio

The place, in three passes.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Sugarbush Resort sits in Warren, Vermont, in the Mad River Valley, with two distinct mountains: Lincoln Peak and Mount Ellen. The Lincoln Peak base village holds the main lodges, ticketing, and the Gate House and Super Bravo chairlifts. The terrain rises from roughly 1,535 feet at the base to 3,975 at Lincoln Peak's summit, served by the Heaven's Gate quad. The resort opened in 1958 and now operates 111 trails across both mountains under Alterra Mountain Company ownership since 2019.

— the air

The Mad River Valley runs roughly north–south between the main Green Mountain spine and the Northfield Range, which traps cold air at the floor and keeps the upper trails firm into April. Annual snowfall at Lincoln Peak averages around 269 inches. Mornings off the lift wheel often start in the low single digits Fahrenheit, with the wind from the west crossing the ridge and dropping off the lee side toward Warren village a thousand feet below.

— the season

Lincoln Peak opens in late November when snowmaking covers the lower mountain and closes in mid-April, weather depending. Peak conditions land in February and early March, when natural snow has built on the upper trails and the days are long enough for last chair at 4 p.m. Summer access continues by the Lincoln Peak village for weddings and the Mount Ellen side for lift-served hiking, but the base lodges are quietest in late October before the chairs turn again.

What people ask.

A few questions we get about Sugarbush Lincoln Peak base — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

Lincoln Peak is the southern of Sugarbush Resort's two mountains, in Warren, Vermont, in the Mad River Valley. The base village sits at about 1,535 feet, with the summit reaching 3,975.

Lincoln Peak rises to 3,975 feet at its summit, served by the Heaven's Gate high-speed quad. Vertical drop from summit to base is roughly 2,400 feet.

Sugarbush opened in 1958 as Sugarbush Valley, founded by Damon and Sara Gadd and Jack Murphy. Alterra Mountain Company has owned the resort since 2019.

No. Lincoln Peak and Mount Ellen are Sugarbush's two separate mountains, about six miles apart. Lincoln Peak holds the main base village; Mount Ellen has its own base lodge to the north.

Lincoln Peak averages around 269 inches of natural snowfall per season, supplemented by extensive snowmaking on the lower and middle mountain that opens terrain by late November.

Sugarbush borders the Green Mountain National Forest, established in 1932 and covering roughly 400,000 acres along the spine of the Green Mountains in central and southern Vermont.

— about the piece in your home

It has carried well for customers with ties to the Mad River Valley. The Lincoln Peak base is the place every Sugarbush skier knows by foot. A Medium with a handwritten note from the studio reads as recognition.

The stained-glass and oil treatment suits Mountain-modern interiors, alpine-cabin warmth, and Jewel-tone Maximalist rooms where deep blues and greens already live. It holds its own against pine and stone.

Yes. Alpine-modern has moved away from rustic browns toward saturated mountain colour and clean timber. The Lincoln Peak tile sits comfortably in that direction, especially in matte.

Above a sofa, a single Large or a 4-tile Mural reads at the right scale. Above a console, a Medium or a 9-tile Mural carries the wall without crowding the lamp.

Yes. Order the Dura Satin or Matte finish for vertical installation in a mudroom, bath, or bunk-room wall. The colour lives in the ceramic surface and resists wear.

A soft microfibre cloth with water is enough. No abrasives, no chemical cleaners. The colour is infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, beneath a thin protective finish.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is made in our Knoxville studio, the eye of Reid Wender, and is not licensed from anywhere else. Single studio, single line.
