Snow Reporter Comments: February 9th, 2:11 PM*Northridge is delayed*Good afternoon skiers and riders! The Big Game may not have gone New England’s way, but the snow’s still on your side, so come grab some refreshing laps that'll cure any post-game blues. Tomorrow’s forecast calls for partly cloudy skies in the morning with cloud cover increasing throughout the day, plus light snow showers are expected in the afternoon that'll carry into the night. Temperatures are finally warming up enough to ditch one of 17 layers needed for the past few weeks. Expect upper teens to low 20s at the summit, and mid‑to‑high 20s at the base. We’ll be getting down on 465 skiable acres, served by 13 lifts, with 55 of 109 trails groomed, including fan favorites like Ripcord, Birch Run, and Elbow. Look forward to spectacular groomers, along with packed powder across the mountain.Operations are in regular weekday hours. GMX will get the party started, loading at 8:00 AM. All other scheduled lifts open at 9:00 AM. With the exception of Slide Brook which will be opening at 10:00 AM. The legendary Sugarbush Parks crew has you covered for all your freestyle fun. At Mt. Ellen, you’ll find over 94 features on Riemergasse and another 28 on Sugar Run, all serviced by the iconic Sunny Quad. At Lincoln Peak, Slowpoke now has 18 refreshed features, and 7 playful features remain in Sugarbear Forest.
