Resort or Ski Area: Sugarloaf

Conditions: 3/1: P, snowing, windy, 20s
3/2: P, sunny, windy, a bit colder

Trip Report: This was the best weekend of the year so far and one of the best times I've had at the Loaf. Various lifts were closed due to wind and it was pretty crowded, but the conditions were among the best we've seen there. There was lots of inbounds pow all weekend. The wind holds kept crowds away from some popular trails, so some areas had fresh snow the entire time if you were willing to hike a little.

Favorite runs:
Pipecleaner today had beautiful snow, lots of freshies still this afternoon
This morning we were the 3rd-4th people down Ripsaw, getting first tracks on huge drifts
That was after a lovely fresh line under Double Runner long side which a patroller riding the chair seemed to think was closed! Oh well.
3 for 3 taking the T bar
Taco Gate Source Force or whatever exact combinations we did....I'm still a bit unclear on what's named what.

We took the camera out today for a great side view of the peak in the sun, but the batteries were dead.
