Snow Reporter Comments: February 1st, 1:24 PMGood afternoon skiers and riders. Another month down, another one ahead, and the beautiful snow and good vibes are sticking around all season long. Tomorrow’s forecast opens with cloudy skies and strong winds, both decreasing throughout the day. It's not summer yet, but it may feel like it tomorrow with mid-to-low teens up top and high teens to low 20s at the base. Snowmaking is wrapping up for the season this afternoon. We’ll be getting down on 475 skiable acres, with 49 of 110 trails groomed, including favorites like Ripcord, Waterfall, and Cruiser. Look forward to beautiful firm groomers along with firm packed powder conditions across the mountain.Operations are back to regular weekday hours. GMX will kick things off loading at 8:00 AM. All other scheduled lifts open at 9:00 AM, with the exception of Slide Brook at 10:00 AM. An update on GMX: We appreciate everyone’s patience as our team has been addressing a tower alignment over the last couple of days. Work has been slowed due to the excessive cold temps and high winds as we work to keep our crews safe. We do expect GMX to spin for the weekend and anticipate some work next week as we finish up some fine tuning.Sugarbush still has plenty of freestyle fun on tap. At Mt. Ellen, you’ll find over 90 features on Riemergasse and another 27 on Sugar Run, all serviced by the iconic Sunny Quad. At Lincoln Peak, Slowpoke now has 12 refreshed features with a couple more coming, and 5 playful features remain over in Sugarbear Forest. Brambles and Inverness will reopen to the public tomorrow. Join us February 7th for a high‑energy, family‑friendly dance party in the Lincoln Peak Courtyard. Blizzard Boogie is your chance to shake it out, warm up, and enjoy an hour of music‑filled fun right in the heart of the mountain. Kids, parents, and anyone who loves a good groove are welcome to jump in. Check out all our winter events.Lincoln Peak morning route and all Mt. Ellen routes are open. Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details. *Lincoln Peak Evening route will be closed due to grooming and snowmaking clean up*
