Resort or Ski Area: Sugarloaf
Conditions: pp/lgr
Trip Report:
Day #1 for me, guess better late than never is ok for this winter. Cold early morning temps but without any wind at the mountain...gave way to bright sunshine and temps which felt like the high 20s. Balmy sunshine without a cloud in the sky without any wind and the usual for Wednesdays = hardly anyone there in the morning. Looked like there were a few people on Boomauger and a few on GondiLine = didn't get over there today.
Got on the mountain at first chair and chose to stay on the easy flat trails in an attempt to recover some life-saving skills....Boardwalk and Tote Road for a while, then Spillway for a little more pitch. Everything felt in a stage of pp in spots with lgr being the majority.
Got into a loop of ski ~1hr..rest ~20(+/-)...which got me to ~12:45pm without collapsing.
I didn't anticipate how nice the temps were going to turn into...was just to cold in the morning and the snow was too good to head back to the lodge and get the camera. Will do better next week.
