Snow Reporter Comments: March 1st, 1:35 PMGood afternoon skiers and riders. March has blown in with classic Northeast confusion, serving up a chilly reminder that winter isn’t done yet. Today's forecast brought low teens at the summit and low 20s at the base. Tomorrow will bring more of the same with sunny skies accompanied with low single digits at the summit and low-to-mid teens at the base. With temps dropping well into the negative tonight, you can expect firm trail conditions throughout the mountain, and variable sections, particularly on ungroomed and natural terrain. Tomorrow we'll be getting down on 484 skiable acres with 13 lifts, and 53 of 111 open trails groomed. Operations will be moving regular weekday hours with GMX being our early bird, loading at 8:00 AM. All other lifts spin at 9:00 AM, with the exception of Slide Brook, which is scheduled for 10:00 AM. Slide Brook may experience a delayed opening tomorrow due to cold morning temperatures. Looking for the best turns of the day? Birch Run and Rim Run are sparkling in the sun with fast, fun groomers. After a few laps, swing by one of our outdoor dining spots, grab your favorite bite and beverage, and take in the incredible views. It’s the ideal day to ski, sip, and soak up the sun.The Parks crew continues to deliver, at Mt. Ellen you’ll find 94 features on Riemergasse and another 28 on Sugar Run, all serviced by the iconic Sunny Quad. At Lincoln Peak, Slowpoke has 18 intermediate features, and Sugarbear Forest is home to 7 beginner freestyle elements. There's plenty of fun to be had both on and off the hill this winter, so check out all our winter events.  Join us Saturday, March 7th for a public ride day in collaboration with Hoods to Woods. We are encouraging the community from near and far to come out and ride and hang with the kids. We will also be raffling off some prizes!All Lincoln Peak and Mt. Ellen uphill routes are currently open. Please review our Uphill Travel Policy for full details.
