Date(s) Skied: 1/9, 1/10, 1/11
Resort or Ski Area: Sugarloaf
Conditions: Powder, Groomed Powder, Packed Powder, More Powda (cold!)
Trip Report:
If theres a Sugarloaf report for 1/7 or 1/8, it was probably deeper and more untracked... but I got up there a day later and still had no trouble finding the goods....
Headed up Thurs night, full moon and clear roads made the trek a piece of cake...
Fri -- Got an early start, rode the Superquad and Spillway East most of the day... King Pine + Timberline were on wind hold all day... Sometimes would end up at Whiffletree and take that up...
[track]
Enjoyed Ripsaw, some wiffletree + bucksaw, and superquad glades the most... In the glades and on the sides of trails probably about 6-8" of untracked light + fluffy.... Sluice and other mid-mtn (Hayburner, Kings Landing) groomers were in great shape, I could carve and dig in my edges at any point of the day --
Sat -- Got a bit later start, Timberline was running but we saved that for the afternoon... King Pine was still on wind hold, but we made our way over there anyway off of Spillway to a beautifully groomed out Haulback... Fantastic and fast -- although with the wind hold we found ourselves back at Whiffletree and a few stashes in there.... Another great groomer day with plenty of freshies still to be found if you looked in the right places...
[track]
Sun -- 3" of some new fresh on the ground and another early start, King Pine wasn't on wind hold and we headed there and got to many of the runs we hadn't had a chance to do yet.... Flurried a few more inches throughout the morning, breaking into bluebird afternoon... I think I found myself in Blade Glade or White Nitro off the skiers right of Bubblecuffer, fantastic.... They had a supercross course setup, but around it, held deep stashes of powder, probably 9-11" deep.....
[track]
Fantastic weekend, only downside was the cold... which didn't affect me until getting back and realizing I had some minor frostbite on the tip of a thumb..... I thought the ride back would be a pain due to the southern storm, but roads were clear by early evening
Oh yea, I rotated the IMGs 180 degrees to correspond with how the trail map shows the Mountain (North-South flipped). I'll add a few camera shots soon....
Even though I tried to get them all, looks like I still saved a few for next time --
