Snow Reporter Comments: March 15th, 10:28 AMGood morning skiers and riders. Winter was back in action yesterday, dropping 6 inches of fresh snow in the past 24 hours and setting the stage for an amazing day of riding and fun events. Today's forecast calls partly cloudy skies with temps settling into low-to-mid 20s at the summit and low-to-mid 30s at the base. Enjoy beautiful, firm groomers topped with fresh snow throughout the mountain. Natural and ungroomed terrain will feature variable conditions and thin coverage, topped with windblown snow and is recommended for advanced skiers and riders. We'll be getting down on 381 skiable acres with 13 lifts, and 56 of 84 open trails groomed.GMX remains closed, check out the latest State of the Mountain blog for more info. We're in weekend operating hours with Super Bravo, Heaven's Gate, and Inverness getting the party started at 8:00 AM. All other scheduled lifts will be spinning at 9:00 AM. Slide Brook Express and Castlerock will be closed for the foreseeable future due to a lack of snow on the evacuation roads. The trail Inverness will be reserved for race training today and will reopen to the public at 1:00 PM. Racer's Edge will also be reserved for racing events today.The legendary Sugarbush Parks crew has been hard at work the past few days rebuilding Reimergasse at Mt. Ellen.
