Snow Reporter Comments: April 5th, 1:26 PMGood morning riders and skiers! Zip up those raincoats and embrace the drizzle, it's a perfect day to dance on the slopes. Today's forecast calls for light rain dying off around noon with cloudy skies and comfortable temps in upper 30s to low 40s at the summit and upper 40s to low 50s at the base. Expect spring skiing with wet, granular snow developing as temperatures rise through the day. Please use caution on ungroomed and natural terrain, as thin cover is apparent in spots. Tomorrow brings cooler temperatures, with mid-20s at the summit and mid-to-upper 30s at the base. Tonight’s freeze will cause today’s wet snow to lock up, resulting in variable conditions on ungroomed terrain.We’ll be getting down on 176 skiable acres with 7 scheduled lifts and 29 of 38 trails groomed. Operations are moving weekday Spring hours, meaning all scheduled lifts open at 10:00 AM. The Sugarbush Parks crew has rebuilt features on Slowpoke and Sugarbear Forest for your freestyle needs this weekend. There’s still plenty of fun to be had as we wrap up the season. Get your dancing shoes ready for April 11th! Sugarbush’s annual celebration of sunshine and the return of warm temps steps it up a few notches this spring with Andy Frasco & the U.N. headlining the stage at the Lincoln Peak Courtyard.If you’re already looking ahead to next winter, you’re in luck: season passes for next season are officially on sale. Now’s the perfect time to lock in the best deals and start dreaming about another year on the mountain. Check out all the sweet pass options and perks, we’ve got something for every type of rider.All Lincoln Peak uphill travel routes are currently open. The Mt. Ellen uphill route is currently open, but climbing conditions are challenging and you'll encounter a few open water bars. Please note that Inverness terrain and the terrain park are off limits.  Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details.
