Snow Reporter Comments: February 3rd, 1:30 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers! It's shaping up to be the pick of the week with rising temperatures and mostly sunny skies! The forecast calls for temps to rise into the upper teens at the summit and mid to upper 20's at the base by mid-day. The sunshine will give way to afternoon clouds making conjuring up light evening snow showers.  We’ll be getting down on 475 skiable acres, served by 13 lifts, with 42 of 109 trails groomed, including fan favorites like Jester, Birch Run, and Cruiser. Look forward to top-tier machine groomed conditions, along with firm packed powder across the mountain.Operations are back to regular weekday hours. GMX gets the party started loading at 8:00 AM. All other scheduled lifts open at 9:00 AM, with the exception of Slide Brook at 10:00 AM. Check out Birch Run and Sunrise for some sun-soaked turns with a beautiful view or head up Summit Lift for an astonishing 360-degree view on Panorama. The legendary Sugarbush Parks crew has you covered for all your freestyle fun.  At Mt. Ellen, you’ll find over 94 features on Riemergasse and another 27 on Sugar Run, all serviced by the iconic Sunny Quad. At Lincoln Peak, Slowpoke now has 18 refreshed features, and 7 playful features remain over in Sugarbear Forest. Brambles and Inverness will be reserved for race training until 12:30 PM tomorrow. Join us February 7th for a high‑energy, family‑friendly dance party in the Lincoln Peak Courtyard.
