A Day at Castlerock: 4/7/08 (Sugarbush)

**thetrailboss** · Apr 8, 2008, 8:39 PM

Date: April 7, 2008

2006 Trip Report #: 58

Resort: Sugarbush

Conditions: SC--more corn than Orville Redenbacher's factory.

Weather: Bluebird skies with temps in the 40's. Some wind at the summits.

Trip Report: It was forecast to be an incredible day and it was. The game plan was to start at North Lynx with Sunrise and working my way across the resort:

Sunrise (not much left...only one line on skier's right):

Morning Star:

Birch Run:

And then I made it to Castlerock and well, I got stuck and could not leave until they forced me to. I'm going to shut up and let the photos talk.

Middle Earth--Run of the Day!

Rumble (worth two spins...but the shady areas were frozen crud):

Liftline--worth two spins:

Castlerock Run:

I think it is pretty self explanatory...the conditions were amazingly soft bumps.

The gallery.

I don't know how you were able to ski around all those people on the trails.

Umm...I'm jealous, I was in an office all day

Nice photos, actually surprised to see so much cover on some trails but some bare spots on others. It has been a while for me since I have been to SB...what is their closing date this year?

A terse TTB TR? Never thought I'd see the day.

Those pics are fantastic. Looks awesome up there.

Castelrock on a bluebird spring day with soft bumps? That's about as close to anything like heaven that I'm ever going to experience.
