Peak Pitch 2025 @ Sugarbush

Hosted by FreshTracks Capital, Peak Pitch Vermont, now in its 19th year, is a skiing, networking and fundraising event held at Sugarbush Mountain. Entrepreneurs are paired on a chairlift with an investor or advisor, and provided the chance to deliver their elevator pitch on the way up the mountain during a fun and active day out on the mountain.

MARCH 11, 2025, at Sugarbush Resort: Rumble’s Bistro and Bar, located in Lincoln Peak Village at Sugarbush Resort, at the base of the mountain, adjacent to Clay Brook.

IF YOU GO: You are responsible for your ski or boarding equipment; you may either bring your own or rent equipment at Lincoln Peak Village. Thanks to the sponsors, including Sugarbush, we'll provide you with a free lift ticket (if you don't already have a Sugarbush pass) as well as a great breakfast and lunch. At the beginning of the day, each investor/advisor will be given mock “checks”. If an investor likes your pitch, they will give you one or more of their checks. You'll have multiple opportunities to ride the lift and pitch to many investor-advisors. When everyone returns to Rumble’s Bistro for lunch, they'll tally the entrepreneurs’ checks and select 3 or 4 top "check" recipients who will then have the opportunity to pitch their business idea to the audience. The lift ride is about 6 minutes long, and they ask that you keep your pitch to a maximum of 4 minutes to allow time for any questions and constructive feedback from investors. You'll get several rides and pitches in throughout the morning.
