Date(s) Skied: April 17th
Resort or Ski Area: Sugarloaf-
Conditions: Packed Powder, Corn, Spring Conditions
Trip Report: I was expecting it to be good, but I never expected it to be as good as it was. When we rounded O' my gosh corner, the entire mountain was covered you couldnt see a single bare spot. We quickly put on our gear and we were off.
We started out on the Superquad with a run on Hayburner it was all midwinter packed powder untill you got to Candy Side which was soft spring corn. The upper 3/4's of the mountain were all packed powder and powder untill around 11:00 and maybe 12:00 at the very top. We skied most all the runs off the superquad(none of which had any bare spots) and decieded to go to the top. We did a few runs from the top and then went for King Pine. King Pine was incredible, there was hardly anyone there and there was some soft bumps and tons of snow. Haulback and Ramdown were both great. Now it was time for lunch at the Bag. We headed back out at about 1:15 and the snow was still sweet. We skied off SPillway and Superquad for the rest of the day. We also played around in the New halfpipe for awhile.
It was probobly my best day of skiing this year if not ever. There was seriously only 2 or 3 barespots on the whole montain. Even the Natural snow trails and glades had at least a 8-15" base left. I have a binch of pictures and will post them either later tonight or tommorow.
