Located on the highpoint of Lincoln Mountain, between Sugarbush and Mad River Glen, Glen Ellen was opened by Walton Elliott in 1963. With neighbor Sugarbush advertising "greatest vertical rise in east" courtesy its top to bottom gondola, Glen Ellen carried the "greatest vertical descent in east" slogan with its tiered chairlifts.
In 1978, then-Sugarbush owner Roy Cohen purchased Glen Ellen Ski Area and renamed it Sugarbush North. The two ski areas would only be connected by shuttle service until the installation of the Slide Brook Express chairlift in 1995.
The ski area was part of the LBO Resort Enterprises Corp. and American Skiing Company empire from October of 1994 through September of 2001.
