Snow Reporter Comments: March 7th, 1:53 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers! Don’t let the gloomy skies fool you, the mountain is serving up beautiful turns and surprisingly awesome conditions. Today's forecast calls for cloudy skies and boarder line hot temps, with mid-to-upper 40s at the summit and upper 30s to low 40s at the base. Carving conditions are outstanding this morning, with snow that’s soft, smooth, and playful. Natural and ungroomed terrain will show some variable sections, and slightly sticky snow as temperatures rise. Tomorrow temps are staying warm with low 40s at the summit and mid-to-upper 40s at the base. Due to the warmer temperatures overnight grooming will only be hitting a few trails as we try to maximize our snow preservation. We'll be getting down on 484 skiable acres with 16 lifts, and 55 of 111 open trails groomed.  Operations are in regular weekend hours with GMX, Bravo, and Heaven's Gate scheduled to start the party at 8:00 AM. All other lifts spin at 9:00 AM, with the exception of Slide Brook, which is scheduled for 10:00 AM. Inverness will be reserved for race training tomorrow, and both will reopen to the public at 11:30 AM. Want an easy‑flowing warm‑up? Northstar is serving silky‑smooth, mellow groomer laps. Feeling spicy? Steins is stacked with soft bumps that’ll light up the legs in the best way. The legendary Sugarbush Parks crew continues to deliver, at Mt. Ellen you’ll find 94 features on Riemergasse and another 28 on Sugar Run, all serviced by the iconic Sunny Quad.  At Lincoln Peak, Slowpoke has 18 intermediate features, and Sugarbear Forest is home to 7 beginner freestyle elements.  There's plenty of fun to be had both on and off the hill this winter, so check out all our winter events.  Join us today, March 7th for a public ride day at the Shaping Our Futures event in collaboration with Hoods to Woods. We are encouraging the community from near and far to come out and ride and hang with the kids. We will also be raffling off some prizes!All Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen uphill routes are currently open. Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details.
