Mountain Report

It's been a funky foggy day. 

Days like today prove to me that weather consists of many odd phenomenons that take more than one year of snow reporting to understand. This whole "mixed precipitation" thing is quite interesting. I mean, HOW can it be raining and snowing at the same time? IS it raining and snowing at the same time? Why is it so foggy in some pockets of the mountain but not in others? My studies continue.

The precipitation will continue into the evening, likely switching fully over to rain. Tomorrow will present pockets of sunshine. Temps will range from low 20s to low 30s, accompanied by high winds. As always, check lift statuses before heading to the hill.

The grooming team will wait to groom until second shift when the snow firms up. Groomed terrain will be primarily granular, smooth, and grippy. 

Don’t forget that this weekend is the 12th Annual Sugarloaf Banked Slalom, a snowboard-only event featuring a course of banked turns winding down the Loaf’s iconic East Coast terrain. There are still spots available - Make sure you register soon.

Did you know that buying a 23/24 Season's Pass gives you access to the mountain for the rest of the current season? If you don't currently have a season's pass and want to make the most of the epic spring skiing ahead, this is your sign. 

I'll ski ya later,

Due to active logging for the West Mountain expansion, trails and glades west of Windrow (with the exception of West Mountain trail and Upper Glancer) are currently closed and will remain closed while logging is underway. West Mountain trail is once again open 7 days a week, but has no lift access on weekdays. For your safety, it is imperative that all ropes and closure signs are respected. Any violation of these closures will lead to the loss of skiing and snowboarding privileges.
