Snow Reporter Comments: February 23rd, 2:00 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers!  The forecast calls for light snow this afternoon with temps in the mid 20's at the base and teens at the summit.  There are still stashes to be found amid the 484 skiable acres, 13 lifts, 111 open trails, and 49 refreshed groomers including fan favorites Murphy's Glades, Birdland, and Jester. The side-hits are sculpted and the corduroy is calling your name-will you answer that call? Conditions remain top tier machine groomed and packed powder conditions across the mountain with additional snow systems tracking our way for Wednesday and Friday! We have returned to regular weekday operating hours with GMX loading at 8:00 AM and all other scheduled lifts open at 9:00 AM, with the exception of Slide Brook, which is scheduled for 10:00 AM. Loading for Slide Brook closes promptly at 3:15 PM, so please plan your return accordingly. Tomorrow, Inverness and Brambles will be reserved for racing. Nobody does it like the legendary Sugarbush Parks crew. They’re serving up freestyle fun on both sides. At Mt. Ellen, you’ll find more than 94 features on Riemergasse and another 28 on Sugar Run, all serviced by the iconic Sunny Quad. At Lincoln Peak, Slowpoke has 18 flowy features, and Sugarbear Forest is home to 7 more. There's plenty of fun to be had both on and off the hill this winter, so check out all our winter events. Today, from 5-7 join PGA Pro Roger King at the Sim Suites at the SHaRC for exclusive winter golf lessons. All Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen uphill routes are currently open. However, the Cliffs will be getting winch groomed tonight, so please refrain from The Cliffs, Tumbler, or Hammerhead. Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details.
