Headed out for my first post Italy turns. Bravo down but there seems to be no real crowd. I think the combo of cold temps and this being a black out day has thinned it out.

Meant to thank folks here for the helpful tips the other week. My beginners did well on those suggested trails and enjoyed their day. The food and outdoor deck at Green Mountain Lounge were perfect, as well as the scenic chair ride there. Sugarbush gets high marks.

Please don't spread that good report to too many people, for the sake of Sugarbush sustainability!

Howie, So the real report is that if you go where no one else has gone it is OK. There is stuff lurkng all over the the place but with such a small base you can see the obsticles at least. Any of the main lines are already skied down to ice in a lot of places and there are stumps, logs and rocks everywhere. If you are an agile expert skier then you will have no issues. if you are the type of skier that likes to slide all your turns and ski in the troughs, good luck. Steezy's report lacks depth of explanation. It should get better with this week's storms

That's too funny because what I told my friend was exactly this. Probably sketchy and best left to next week.
