Snow Reporter Comments:

6:20 AM: Good morning riders and skiers! No new snow to report this morning leaving our season snowfall total at 228 inches. We do have a storm system moving in for next week-so start those snow dances! Today, the forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies with temps in the mid to upper 20's at the base and mid to upper 30's at the summit, with a NW wind ranging from 15-40 MPH. Our legendary grooming team made the most of last night's colder temps and was able to get out in full force laying down a fresh canvas on 40 trails. Join us in celebrating Mt. Ellen closing weekend and the final weekend of the iconic Heaven's Gate! Look forward to a fresh corduroy on fan favorite Jester to Spring Fling, boasting a nearly 2.5 mile-long run! You may encounter slightly crusty turns on ungroomed surfaces early on, but that terrain should soften as the day progresses.

GMX kicks things off at 8:00 AM, and all scheduled lifts run from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM, with the exception of our upper mountain lifts, which spin till 3:45 PM. As you may have seen from our social post, we're excited for the replacement of the Heaven's Gate Triple with a new fixed-grip quad. Construction on that lift begins April 1st, at which time we will be closing Heaven's Gate, Castlerock, and all terrain skier's left of Lower Organgrinder including Domino, parts of Lower Jester and Heaven's Gate Traverse, and Gondolier. Check out the post on Instagram or Facebook for more information.

The Sugarbush PARKS crew has set up 105 features resort wide. Come check it all out on Riemergasse, Slowpoke, and of course, the beginner park on Sugarbear Forest. Don't forget the Banked Slalom Course is opened to the public on Sugar Run!

Keep in mind that under all this new snow, natural obstacles still exist, and terrain can still be variable. Take it slow until you know!

Season Passes are already on sale for next season, and they get you free skiing for the rest of this year too. For those not ready to commit to a pass, Quad Packs are back and one of the best deals in skiing! Book your stay at Sugarbush today-- you won't want to miss the sunny, slushy turns that April has to offer (or who knows, maybe we'll still be skiing on fresh pow) Be sure to check out our events calendar to see what sweet events we've got coming up this Spring. Sneak peek-- Glen Ellen Retro Events day and Wall of Fame Celebration this Saturday, plus Pond Skim, Pride Weekend, and our annual FREE Spring Fling concert all await you in the coming month!

All Uphill Travel routes are open. Come enjoy our morning Lincoln Peak uphill route from 4-7 AM, and our evening Lincoln Peak uphill route from 5-10 PM. The uphill route at Mt. Ellen is open as well. While we're all excited about the new snow, we ask that you stay to our designated routes to ensure the safety of yourselves and our mountain operators. Check out our website for our designated uphill travel routes and more information.
