Snow Reporter Comments: April 12th, 1:12 PMGood afternoon skiers and riders! We've got another beautiful spring day on tap for today, a perfect way to end this amazing weekend. Today's forecast calls for a sunny morning with increasing clouds, and temps settling into the mid 30s up top and upper 40's to low 50s at the base. Expect soft spring conditions around the mountain. Please read posted signage before entering trails, as difficulties have changed due to conditions and thin coverage in spots. Be aware that Gate House terrain is recommended for advanced skiers and riders due to conditions and thin coverage. Tomorrow brings a warm, wet day, with summit temperatures in the upper 40s and base temps climbing into the upper 50s. Rain showers are expected to move in during the early afternoon.Tomorrow we’ll be getting down on 119 skiable acres with 2 scheduled lifts and 20 of 22 trails groomed. Operations will move back to weekday Spring hours, with all scheduled lifts opening at 10:00 AM. Valley House will be operating in place of Super Bravo, as it will be closed for maintenance. The legendary Sugarbush Parks crew still 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. Be sure to get your dose of Gate House terrain, as this is the final weekend Gate House and North Lynx lifts will be spinning.   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?  If you’re already looking ahead to next winter, you’re in luck: season passes for next season are officially on sale.
