Warren–Sugarbush Airport is a public use airport in Washington County, Vermont, United States. It is owned by Granite Intersection Inc and is located two nautical miles (3.74 km) east of the central business district of the Town of Warren .[1]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned 0B7 by the FAA[1] but has no designation from the IATA.[2]

Events and tourism

The airport is mainly used for private aircraft (seasonal) but during the summer a gliding company called Sugarbush Soaring operates a glider tour service. Every year on July 3 the airport hosts an exhibition of private and stunt airplanes, it also includes pilots showing off their well practiced stunts to the crowd made up mostly of tourists. During the winter when snow is on the ground the airport is transformed into a Nordic ski center called Ole's. Ole's uses the airport and surrounding land for trails.
