Snow Reporter Comments: April 8th, 1:15 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers! Sunny skies and yesterday's 4 inch helping of fresh are setting us up for classic mid-week magic at the Bush.  The forecast calls for bluebird skies, and temps on the rise, settling into the upper 20's up top and upper 30's to low 40's at the base.  Our grooming team was able to get out in full force laying down an immaculate canvas on 28 trails for your corduroy carving appetite! Come enjoy a top-tier groom on fan favorites Ripcord or Hot Shot and log another beautiful day at the Bush!   Expect edge-able machine groomed conditions transitioning to corn snow with increased sun exposure as well as variable conditions on ungroomed terrain.We’ll be getting down on 157 skiable acres with 5 scheduled lifts and 28 of 32 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 will be opening today with some new snow features including turns, rollers and tables.   How many consecutive days are you at?
