You just don't know what might be affected by winds - need to look at the lift reports on Sunday AM.

Yup...exactly. Winds on the mountain can be very tricky and strange at times. Have to just wait and see what actually happens.

Yup, skier's right of Looking Good at ME are some nice lower angle woods higher up the mountain. From the lift you'll often see people going in there all the time including instructors taking kids in there.

We were at Sugarbush for the first time last weekend and loved it. Coming up this weekend again. We had good experience skiing higher elevation trees, like exterminator woods, bravinator woods, etc... All other wooded area marked on trail map seem to be at mid or lower mountain, where condition was less ideal. Are there any other unmarked wooded area at upper mountain? Many thanks.

Everything should be a lot nicer this weekend. We had 3-4" the other night and hopefully 6-9" at least tonight so all wooded areas should be skiing a lot better than they did last weekend after 2" of rain on Thursday. Tumbler Woods at ME is great fun as well.

Thanks, all! Really appreciate the information. Will explore these areas this coming weekend.

that shot off of elbow can be accessed skier's right about 1/3 of the way down from the top of north ridge. its a little bushwhacky to get both in and out but you wind up in pretty open glades no one ever touches.

Just another great experience with Seth at infinite. Was having an issue with my boots and he probably spent a solid hour plus with me working on them. Another reason I love this place

Great bootfitters are so important. Glad you shared this.

I would definitely recommend him, too bad I didn’t buy my boots up here

a little cool this morning on the hill.

How cold is it?
Even the hot tub cover is frozen.

surprising that lincoln base is only 8 degrees colder than my house on Long Island!

I have my management team meeting every Thursday morning and take them for a quick two runs before making them sit inside. Today was no exception despite -8 at the base when we took our first runs. Layers and a face mask did the trick and the snow was quite nice. We turned the snowmaking off on Spring Fling in early am, and the Styrofoam surface skied really nicely. Will leave the whales today and tomorrow to get skied in and then groom out Friday night for the weekend. We have the depth on the spring trails now to hopefully last right to Cinco De Mayo.

Today is the coldest of the week but the winds are diminishing, and the weekend forecast in looking very favorable.

 

[rocks860]

Yeah too cold for me today, taking today off and skiing my last day tomorrow

WinS, here for our first time. Did the Mad Marathon in July and stopped here for a look. Decided to move our snowboarding from the NH hood, over here. Fingers crossed for a fun weekend.

I fully expect this weekend to be quite excellent. Counting down the hours until work is over tomorrow and I can head up!

Welcome. Hope you have a fun weekend.

At mount Ellen today. Very cold and sporadically windy but I made the trek over to semi tough and it was crazy good.

How are snow conditions overall? Icy? Frozen granular? Packed powder? I'm trying to decide which skis to bring this weekend.

 

[rocks860]

Skied semi tough woods as well and there was an absurd amount of snow in there. The groomed stuff is packed powder to a little scratchy. The natural stuff is icy in parts and powder in some parts. I skied my 100 underfoot 181s today and was fine but that’s my all
Mountain ski. Skied the fatter ones on Wednesday

Brovo down on a mechanical issue, anyone with any intel on this?
Hope that get it worked out before tomorrow, have a feeling the masses are showing up.
