Snow Reporter Comments: April 9th, 2:35 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers! It’s the best of both worlds this week, with a taste of mid-winter earlier on and classic spring skiing to round it out, what’s not to love?  Today's forecast calls for partly sunny skies, and temps on the rise, settling into the low 40's up top and mid 50's at the base. Come enjoy a top-tier groom on fan favorites Ripcord or Hot Shot and log another beautiful day at the Bush! Expect soft and playful machine groomed conditions, as well as spring conditions with increasing temps. Get ready for another corn harvest tomorrow, we've got more warm temps, with upper 40s to low 50s at the summit and mid-to-upper 50s at the base.We’ll be getting down on 163 skiable acres with 5 scheduled lifts and 28 of 34 trails groomed. Operations remain in weekday Spring hours, meaning all scheduled lifts open at 10:00 AM, with Super Bravo staying opened until 5:00 PM. The legendary Sugarbush Parks crew has features laced up on Slowpoke and Sugarbear Forest for your freestyle needs. Plus, Racer's Edge is now open with some new snow features including turns, rollers and tables.   How many consecutive days are you at? Did you know that if you ski consecutive days on your Ikon pass this spring season you are eligible for sweet prizes? Plus, 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.
