Area skied: Sugarloaf,Maine.
Date skied: April 17th from 9:10am - 2:30pm.
Surface conditions: Powder, deeper powder, silly deep powder. 12-16" new snow.
Weather: heavy snow 1-2" per hour. No wind, 30F.
Wow, what a morning with heavy snow and great skiing. The only bad part is the only lift running is the long side of Double Runner due to lift icing.
Great powder turns and first tracks on Sluice and the terrain park.
The T-bar opened up at noon and I earned runs Sugarloaf style by hiking up Spillway Chute into a whipping wind and biting snowfall to White Nitro which had only one other track and deep powder that made leaned back surfing style turns lots of fun.
My next run was hiking to Bubblecuffer and the snow was so deep that the moguls where buried. I cut across to Ramdown which had one track on it to an untouched Whiffletree and through Blueberry Grove Glade.
My third and last hiking run was down Winter's Way which had a wind exposed icy headwall, but deep snow by the Gondi mid-station.
I have not seen such deep snow in 18 years of skiing Sugarloaf.
Conditions are epic.
