Snow Reporter Comments: April 4th, 1:21 PMGood afternoon riders and skiers! Spring skiing meets spring break today as the Pond Skim brings a little surf culture to the slopes. Today's forecast calls for cloudy skies and comfortable temps with upper 30s to low 40s at the summit and upper 40s to low 50s at the base. Last night's cooldown also caused yesterdays softened snow to lock up, so expect frozen surfaces on upper mountain terrain early, with temperatures working to soften surfaces as the day progresses, plus thin cover in some areas. Expect spring skiing with wet, granular snow developing as temperatures rise through the day. Be sure to check out fan favorites like Ripcord, Sunrise, and Lower Hot Shot which received fresh corduroys for this morning. Don’t miss tomorrow, it’s your must-ski day of the week! Expect another round of classic spring turns before winterlike temperatures return on Monday.We’ll be getting down on 176 skiable acres with 7 scheduled lifts and 29 of 37 trails groomed. Operations are in weekend Spring hours, meaning Super Bravo and Heaven's Gate kicking it off at 9:00 AM, and all other scheduled lifts opening at 10:00 AM. The Sugarbush Parks crew has rebuilt features on Slowpoke and Sugarbear Forest for your freestyle needs this weekend. Racer's Edge will be reserved for our Pond Skimming event today.There’s still plenty of fun to be had as we wrap up the season. Join us tomorrow morning, from 10-11:00 AM for an Easter Egg Hunt in the Lincoln Peak Courtyard! Bring the kids and enjoy a fun, festive morning searching for hidden eggs before heading out for a day on the slopes.If you’re already looking ahead to next winter, you’re in luck: season passes for next season are officially on sale. Now’s the perfect time to lock in the best deals and start dreaming about another year on the mountain. Check out all the sweet pass options and perks, we’ve got something for every type of rider.All Lincoln Peak uphill travel routes are currently open. The Mt. Ellen uphill route is currently open, but climbing conditions are challenging and you'll encounter a few open water bars.
