Skied from Britton Peak Trailhead at noon. Skied A-B-C-E-F-D loop. Much debris on trail surface from high winds on Sunday, including huge deadfall across trail between A and B, which we cleared. Track was gone for the most part. Deep drifts across trail at a few points.

Skied Oberg Mountain to Britton Peak down the Tofte Trail hill. New snow and wind-blown conditions. You make your own tracks. Beautiful, windy.

Wow! What a gorgeous day on absolutely beautifully groomed skate trails. The classic trails looked awesome too! A big thank you to the groomers for such a great day!

Great ski at Sugarbush this afternoon! We were skating and the grooming was fantastic. We skied from the Onion River Road parking lot and did the Picnic loop, and Oberg Mountain loop. The Picnic Loop was especially nice with very fresh grooming. Oberg Loop had a few drifts but overall was very good. Great day of skiing on the beautiful Sugarbush trails!

From Britton Peak, the Hogback and other close loops were recently regroomed (for much of my ski, there were no signs that anybody else had been on the track since regrooming). Upper Homestead had some drifting that in areas that are on ridge lines--in those places. The groomer had done some touch up, but the depth of snow drift left these areas slightly uneven. Even with the few drifted areas, conditions were outstanding--classic tracks were well-formed, pole plants were solid, and the skating lane looked good. Excellent work on the grooming!

Skied Hogback and Homestead loops from Britain Peak trailhead. High winds from last night and this morning had created some drifts in several spots and made the going a little slow as well as partially filled the classic tracks. But in spite of that the skate deck was firm and just wide enough given the edge drifts in most places and it was a fine ski.

The trails were very nice. It was snowing lightly, so the tracks were filled in a little bit. We saw wolf tracks on the Tofte Trail and fresh wolf scat.

Skied the Onion River Loop, In the newly groomed classic tracks. Perfection! Skate ski not yet groomed, but it looks great with about an inch of new fluffy powder on top of old grooming. Snow covered trees. Magical. Thanks to the groomers for a job well done.

Perfect packed powder classic tracks and skate lane with ideal skiing temperature of 18F today. There is lots of snow here with about a 24" base. I skied from the Moose Fence trailhead and found the classic tracks firm, full depth and solid. Great skiing.
