Full coverage and great grooming from Friday. The trail was level and firm. I skied until about 1pm and it was starting to soften up with a thin layer of slush on the surface in spots.

Excellent snow! Fantastic grooming! We classic skied, from the Britton Peak Trailhead, the Bridge Run, Homestead, and Hogback trails. Even though there is a lot of bare ground down by Highway 61, the snow coverage a few miles inland at Sugarbush is still deep. The skate deck was also in excellent condition.

All Sugarbush trails, save for Moose Fence and the Tofte Ski-down were Pisten Bully groomed Thursday night. The system is primed for a great weekend of skiing in Tofte.

Hasn't been groomed in a few days and there were deeper grooves where the trail had been skied over when soft, but it was firm and crusty this morning. Classic tracks were a good but not full depth. Had good kick and glide on all but the softest sections. Northern half of the picnic loop was perfect, while the southern part had some soft sun-exposed sections and minor debris.

Skied the Picnic Loop from the Oberg trailhead. It was over 40 degrees but the skate deck was still firm and supportive. Coverage was excellent and grooming was recent and immaculate. However the snow was very slow and it took me 4 hours to ski 23 k around the loop. No glide and downhills had to be poled. Toward the end of the day snow was cooling in the shady areas and was faster. Should have gone in the morning.

Perfect trail conditions, spring skiing for sure. Deep tracks and fresh corduroy, new snow, looked like they groomed this morning. Started to get sticky by mid day. Beautiful scenery!

fresh bully action overnight, leaving an excellent skate deck and perfect tracks in its wake. Grooming plans: Grooming on the menu again for Friday night! Best time of the year has arrived on the Sugarbush trails!

Conditions were nice! Did the easiest loops (duck and piece of cake). Not too fast (except the last hill coming down to the parking lot). Some skate track was groomed, not all. Hardly any debris that I saw. It was better than expected!

We skied the Oberg Mountain loop just after noon. It was a beautiful day in the woods, even if melty. The trail hadn't been groomed since Friday but tracks were solid. Some sticks and debris, especially for skaters. My partners' skate poles kept punching through the deck. There's still about 2 feet of snow on the ground.

Skied in the afternoon prior to the sun setting after a morning of skiing at Giants Ridge. I planned to skate ski and actually needed to ski a combination in the tracks and in the skate lane due to the melting snow and a change in the conditions. I cleared the trail only due to six smaller branches noted on the trail intermittently. It is truly a beautiful area. Embrace winter to spring-like skiing.
