Snow Reporter Comments: February 21st, 1:25 PMGrab a Big Gulp and candy bar because we've got 7-11" so far with flakes still falling throughout the day. Snow is dense and perhaps a bit wind blown in places, but from groomers to woods it's all skiing great. Tomorrow look for another day of 484 skiable acres, 16 lifts, 111 open trails, and a full batch of 71 freshly groomed runs including Walt's Trail, Semi-Tough, Ripcord, and Murphy's Glades. Conditions remain excellent, but as always take it slow until you know, be cognizant of fellow skiers, and enjoy the surfing.We are in holiday hours through February 22nd, with GMX, Super Bravo, and Heaven's Gate all 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. Loading for Slide Brook closes promptly at 3:15 PM, so please plan your return accordingly.Nobody does it like the Sugarbush Parks crew. They’re serving up freestyle fun in every direction. 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. Rumble's opens early at 8:00 AM tomorrow for the Olympic Hockey match, plus there are still plenty of great events and activities as we close out an exciting President's Week. Check out all our winter events.All Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen uphill routes are currently open. Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details.
