\"sugarbush<\/a>With 23\u201d of new snow in the last week Sugarbush Resort\u2019s Four-Legged Mascot Predicts a White Christmas in the Mad River Valley<\/p>\n

Warren, VT (December 21, 2012) \u2013 Bounding through fields of new snow in his backyard, Sugarbush\u2019s four-legged mascot knows it will be a white Christmas at Sugarbush and in the Mad River Valley.
\nRumble, a four-year old Bernese mountain dog, loves the cold weather. It\u2019s in his genes. Generations of Bernese mountain dogs plied their trades in the snowy altitudes of Switzerland, but Rumble finds his comfort in the cold climes and snowy mountains at Sugarbush Resort.<\/p>\n

Meteorologists have been predicting precipitation of the unfrozen variety for much of the Northeast, but Rumble knows on the high peaks of the Green Mountains snow has been piling up. More storms are expected to move into Vermont and bring more snowfall in the coming days.<\/p>\n

\u201cRumble is well known around the resort for predicting the weather. Each fall his energy levels soar when the temperatures begin to dip,\u201d said Rumble\u2019s owner and President of Sugarbush Resort Win Smith. \u201cWith the recent snow and more likely on the way, Rumble seems to be worked up into a near frenzy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sugarbush Resort is open with 55 trails, 9 lifts, 2600 vertical feet, 18.8 miles and 200 acres of terrain with options for all abilities. Mt. Ellen opened on Friday, December 21st. Base depths at the resort continue to build and are currently between 10 and 30 inches. In addition to the natural snowfall Sugarbush snowmakers continue to make snow at every opportunity temperatures allow with the aim of opening more terrain during the holiday weeks.<\/p>\n

With a packed calendar of events Sugarbush Resort is a great place to spend your holiday vacation. Rumble\u2019s favorite event, the annual Dog Parade is scheduled for 3 PM on New Year\u2019s Eve. There are also plenty of happenings for the bipedal among us. Visit sugarbush.com for the latest on snow conditions at Sugarbush and details on special events.<\/p>\n
