Back after several truncated summer event schedules, Sugarbush Resort has lined up a number of both recurring and unique events throughout the summer geared to guests of all ages and interests.

On the recurring events side, the resort has taken many of its weekly activities and bundled them all into what’s now called Summer Thursdays. From July 7 to August 25 each Thursday will feature live music, cornhole tournaments, wood fired pizza and drinks, and a disc golf league at Lincoln Peak. Raffles and prizes are sprinkled throughout the summer including a raffle on July 7 for a pair of Head Skis. The Sugarbush Resort Golf Club will also have golf rounds available at reduced rates on Thursdays with Hogan’s Pub serving up discounted burgers.

Sugarbush is hosting two Music on the Mountain series, one on July 9 featuring Ragged Company and one on August 13 featuring The Legends. These outdoor afternoon concerts will jam out at 3125 feet mid-mountain. Guests can ride the Super Bravo Express Quad to Allyn’s Lodge for the tunes, with a variety of sandwiches, snacks, and drinks available.

On July 10, Sugarbush is helping to sponsor the Mad Marathon, now in its 11th season. The race features a marathon, half-marathon, and relay races throughout the Mad River Valley.

With a new outdoor movie screen, the resort has lined three outdoor film nights on Fridays throughout the summer. Each night is themed with July 15 being The North Face Adventure Film Series, August 19 being Vermont Filmmakers Night, and September 2 being Protect Our Winters night. Guests are encouraged to bring their own blankets with food and drink being available at the resort.

Trout Day returns on July 16 with free casting instruction, fly-tying demonstrations, raffles and tips from local guides.

On July 23 and 24 the Maxxis Eastern States Cup returns with Downhill and Enduro events. Camping is available and registration is now open. The resort is also hosting Vermont Mountain Bike Association (VMBA) Day on August 20 with guided rides all day at Sugarbush and around the Mad River Valley.

Sugarbush is bringing back the Lincoln Peak Open, a two-day disc golf tournament on July 30 and 31.

Finally, beer aficionados rejoice as Fresh Hops Fest returns on October 9. For this beer festival, all participating brewers create beers for the event using designated fresh hops.

Meet Gabe Vincent, he is a 13-year-old resident of Auburn that turned his hobby into his dreams. Gabe is a disc golf player, according to an article on him posted by the Sun Journal.

The Professional Disc Golf Association put on the New England Amateur Disc Golf Championship. The article states that this is a, “sanctioned tournament played at three different courses in or around Manchester, New Hampshire.”

If you’ve never heard of the sport. According to Merriam Webster, disc golf is,

a game in which players attempt to toss a plastic disc into each of a succession of basketlike receptacles stationed along a course with the object being to reach each target in as few attempts as possible. Disc golf is similar to regular golf in that it has 18 holes and is played primarily by the same rules. But instead of hitting a ball into a hole in the ground, in disc golf, Frisbees are thrown into metal disc-trapping baskets on stationary poles.

It is very fun and Maine has so many different courses. The game can be challenging and competitive or even just for fun with your friends!

Gabe started playing disc golf back in 2020 during the pandemic as a hobby. Little did he know, he’d be competing in a championship disc golf tournament, as the article says.

The article states that Gabe was hooked right away so his mother, Sarah purchased a basket and put it up in their backyard so Gabe and his sister Mya could play.

Gabe’s mother said,

As soon as we got a basket at home, every second he can, he’s out there shooting discs in the basket in our yard. As it progresses, we keep going disc golfing. And all of a sudden, he’s keeping up with my husband, and (then) he’s exceeding my husband on what he can on the disc golf course.

Gabe has gotten so good that,
