The "Sugarbush Thread"

[cdskier]

If you re

Your wing man played here, because he believed me when I told him we were getting over 6 from Saturday night through Sunday (not like other people on this forum ). I underestimated though as we got more then that. Here are some pic’s Shredmonkey wish you could have made it would have been fun. We did make some turns in your honor though….. Hope you had a good MB ride.

Who on this forum didn't believe you'd get snow Saturday night through today? The backend from Saturday night through early this week was well forecasted and expected by many. SB received a bunch too today. What we didn't believe was what was shown for Thursday night to Friday morning by that mountain-forecast site (and we were right about that). Today right off the bat I said wasn't an option for me to go to Stowe since I had to drive down to Cambridge after skiing (I'm posting this right now from my hotel room here in Cambridge).

No complaints about skiing at SB today...still no idea why people didn't show up today. I had a good time. I took it a bit easy though as my legs were a bit shot after 5 days in a row of skiing.

Of course the 1 week I need to leave the valley early on a Sunday is also the day there was snow falling most of the day. Just looked at the webcams and looks like it is still falling at a good clip. Looks like a good 3-4" more fell on the summit snow stake since I left early this afternoon.

That is painful to see… glad to hear it was a top 10 day of the year today!

Must have had a miscommunication, when I said to you they expect 6 or more I was referring to Sat-Sun. I understood that you couldn’t come on Sunday as you were driving back. Anyway glad you had a good day!!!

I was at sugarbush today. It was so good!

I skied pow in the morning and then did a 2 hour MTB ride Sunday Afternoon in the boston area. Best of both worlds.
I also interperted that there was going to be snow on Friday at Stowe. That is what the graph on that link was showing at the time of the post.

So at my company's new office in Cambridge, a lot of our meeting rooms are named after ski resorts which I thought was kind of cool...Killington, Jay Peak, Mt Snow, Sugarloaf, Loon, etc. Notably missing however (or at least I didn't see it yet) is Sugarbush (Of course it could also be planned for one of the floors still under construction).

i kind of assumed the back end wouldnt get cranking until late Sunday and that it would mainly make driving annoying and not impact my skiing, so i went to sunday river where it looked like it would be warmer and sunnier on sat, and then loon sunday because i was sleeping 5 minutes away in lincoln and they open at 8 so i would be able to start early and get home early. no regrets, i had a great weekend. but fuck me, i was not thinking sugarbush would have a sunday powder day. was it powder skiing from opening bell on? i leave by 1 at the latest on sundays so for my sake i hope these pics were all later after the snow had time to pile

@cdskier - loon was a ghost town as well. i only waited on one line, which was under 5 min for the singles line on the gondola at peak 11 am. otherwise it was ski on, and i got over 30k vert down by noon. the fairweather skiers are all done

Spring sports have started for people with kids. Enjoy your empty slopes.

The photo I posted was taken shortly after 8am. There was about 2-3" at that time, but it also looked like there were some spots that benefited from wind dumping more snow in them. Snowed another inch or so by 10:30 when I stopped. Then right after that dumped hard for a bit (a quick inch accumulated on my truck after I got back to my condo before I ran back out to grab lunch...and that is just above base elevation levels).

The sun brings people this time of year went to see my newest grandson, so missed the POW.

Congrats!

congrats win!

vermont subreddit has a thread about many wrecks on 89 yesterday morning. i am glad i steered clear of the situation. i am trying to stretch my all season tires to November and then i am going to get snows. but in the meantime i have all seasons with 36k miles on them. i know I'm dumb as fuck for not already having snows.

Mass man, 59, killed on I-89 in Berlin yesterday afternoon around 5pm. Had to wonder if he was returning home from skiing.

It was sporty yesterday

Congrats, Win! Our 'next' grandchild arrives in Atlanta in about a week...making travel arrangements now!

That's valid for a grandson. Granddaughter, not so sure (I kid).
Congrats

The new snow did not bond well with the existing snow. Some nice like powder but on top of very firm surface. I think it will groom out a lot better tonight and as the temps warm-up the snow will get softer. The one exception this am was Sunrise. It was beautifully groomed and worth lapping several times. It should be excellent again tomorrow. Right now the weekend is looking good, so I would recommend getting here and enjoying some spring skiing and riding. Who knows what next week will bring.

Grinder, Spills, and Ripcord all skied quite nicely. I'm sorry I didn't hit Paradise, based on what I heard back down in the lodge. Yes, I think the next few days will be a lot of fun...there's ample coverage to keep us happy for awhile longer, indeed.
