Jan. 21st, 2025 2:38 PM: Boy, it sure isn't this cold in BRRRRlington (ha ha ha). But frigid temps won't stop me from skiing on those sweet machine-groomed packed powder slopes, and they shouldn't stop you either! Keep the bundle going tomorrow in anticipation of temps reaching 1 at the summit and 11 at the base. Uninterrupted sunshine, however, will create the tropical illusion of a day at the beach! We'll have a ton of groomers ready for ya, and take note that there will be snowmaking on Organgrinder, Downspout, and Lower Downspout. Thank you to everyone who joined us for MLK Weekend, one where our unlock promotion with the Ikon Base Pass helped raise $30,000 for the Association of Africans Living in Vermont!

Skied Sugarbush 12/20/24 the day they opened Mount Ellen for the season. It was amazing. Fresh snow made turns so enjoyable. This mountain has so many trails, and I found trails for all the different all mountain skiing one couldn't. Great mountain!
