Snow is packed and in good shape for both classic and skate. Skate skiers were cruising along nicely. We were skiing classic and there was no icy spots. Nice skiing!

When the snow finally melts this season my mind can now be at ease. For I have skied the Picnic Loop. My favorite trails anywhere, ever. Must have been groomed overnight with a little fresh snow over the top. Blue skies and nice temps. It just doesn't get any better than this.

The gem of the north woods was shining today! Tree debris turned over, grooming of all trails accomplished overnight gave many smiles to skiers today. Perfect conditions, lovely.

Skiing Moose Fence parking lot to and around Upland Trail. I lost my Chevrolet Volt key/fob. If found please contact me, staying at Bluefin thru Friday.

Superb day of classic skiing on the just groomed trails near Onion Road Access. Piston Bulley made for perfect conditions. Lots of skiers by noon on a near perfect day.

Second day at the Sugarbush. Perfect trails. They have set up nice and are becoming quite fast. Plenty of snow for braking. Big time fun! Thank you Sugarbush for the awesome care of this system! That new piston bully is doing the job!

From Briton Peak, skied two laps around Hogback and Homestead and then the Tofte ski down. Skate deck was firm, glide was wonderful, tracks bombproof and snow obviously very abundant. Two other things were abundant, first lots of people and second lots and lots of smiles even on people humping uphill. Great day.

Sugarbush trail conditions were absolutely stellar. Temps around freezing. Used skin skis which were dead on for kick and glide. Great day of skiing. Had a ball. Like a good trip to your favorite amusement park!

First time on the Sugarbush trail system. Top notch grooming and very little traffic. Gorgeous views and great way to get in a lot of k's. It was freshly groomed but above freezing temps made it very slow going.

Classic skied most of the Sugarbush system today from Oberg Trailhead, East Oberg, Picnic loop, Hogback to Britain Peak and back over bridge loop and Homestead, then the connector back to Oberg. In years and years of skiing this trail, I cannot remember better conditions. But I am old and my last ski day is usually the best one! Grooming was immaculate. The tracks were firm, outside pole plants solid and the skate deck was perfect cord, not at all soft as I had expected. Swix VR45 was the right wax for the day w/ temps around freezing. Should be great on Sunday as well for skating this time around.
