Storm on The Way

Another snow storm is on the way and we could get over 12 inches. Today conditions were great, but it was cold 5 below at the top of spillway. All the groomed trails are packed powder, but the bumps are a little icy. No Timberline today. The Special olympics ended this afternoon.

Incredible Week

This past week has been the best of the year so far, 3 days of sunny skies and no wind and today was really windy but warm so it wasn't bad. Conditions are now packed powder on all the groomed trails, the bumps are powdery with some ice in between and the woods are all Powder. The Superpipe is now Open

Cold day but Great conditions

It was very cold today, but conditions are incredible, mostly packed powder everywhere. The only trail that I skied that wasn't very good was pole line, it was a little granular and firm, but everything else was great. The bumps on Bubblecuffer were pretty good, but it is still quite firm underneath.

Snowmaking is back online on Gondi Line, and Upper Whiffletree, guns are also going at the bottom of whiffletree for the new Skybound terrain park. Also there are guns going at the top of the Superpipe but not the full length of it. The water line on Upper Nitro is frozen, so that needs to be thawed before snowmaking can happen up there.

King Pine and Timberline were on wind hold today.

Today was a great day

We got 6-8 inches of snow last night and condtions today were amazing, everything is powder now. the woods are all skiable again. Snowmaking is supposed to fire up again on the Superpipe, so maybe someday it will open.

Its Snowing

It started snowing early this morning and it really piled up. My last run of the day around 2 was on Boomauger and it was amazing, tomorrow is going to be great. This new snow has really turned things around. Upper Glancer was amazing, but lower glancer was not good. Timberline and King Pine were on wind hold today. My last ride up spillway I saw that a snowcat delivered some supplies to finally finish TOS, only at Sugarloaf would you ever build in extreme weather conditions but not make snow to finally finish the Superpipe.

Vacation week is Over

Its been a while since Ive posted a report, I figured everyone was here for vacation so why bother, plus I didnt ski at all vacation week. I was out today but waited until the afternoon since the high lift this morning was Bucksaw. The superquad opened around 1:30. Conditions were ok, but the light was very flat. Its hard and fast most places, but Boomauger was actually quite good. No snowmaking today, not sure why, it wasnt that warm and Upper gondi line looked like it could use a lot more snow and the Superpipe is far from ready. hopefully the storm coming in tomorrow brings conditions back to the way it was before christmas. it looks like we could get about a foot of snow.
