Snow Reporter Comments: May 2nd, 7:45 AMOne last day! We're officially reopening for Ski & Tee Weekend with one final day of skiing today and golf both today and tomorrow. And what's the best part? It's completely FREE! For anyone who doesn't have a pass, grab your free lift ticket and come harvest the corn on Stein's and Coffee Run from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM, with a little side dish of hiking in between the two trails and around the lift. But hey what's May in Vermont without a little mud? Believe it or not we actually saw 1-2" of fresh snow fall to close out the season, but it's all upper mountain and thus I didn't count towards today's totals since you can't ski it. Groomers did their best to patch things up and we're looking at temps reaching towards 50 degrees with sunshine in the afternoon. Come enjoy the last Sugarbush turns of the season and be sure to thank the ops team for an incredible year that once again lasted into May!If you’re already looking ahead to next winter, you’re in luck: season passes for next season are officially on sale.  Check out all the sweet pass options and perks, we’ve got something for every type of rider.Both of the Lincoln Peak uphill travel routes are CLOSED. The Mt. Ellen uphill route is now CLOSED as well. Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details.
