Not that its makes any difference as it is now snowing like crazy, but the Sugarbush Picnic and Homestead loops from Oberg were fantastic today before it started snowing. No icy solid tracks and great skate deck.

What fun on a beautiful sunny day! I did the venerable Picnic Loop for the first time in a number of years. Went counterclockwise from the Oberg parking lot on superbly and freshly groomed trails. A bit soft but didn't slow me down on the exhilarating downhills (of which there are many) and over 1700'elevation gain in 22km or so. Only saw a few skiers, none on the Picnic Loop. Thanks to Greg and the groomers for their diligent work on these great trails!

Amazing ski on Maple, Upland, and Hogback loops today. Even with the warmer temps, conditions were great. Oodles of gratitude to the excellent service provided by the trail groomers!

Skied a long loop from Britton Peak, Picnic. East Oberg Connector, Homestead, Hogback and back. Grooming was pristine, Tracks firm and solid, snow not yet transformed, temps in the high 20's. Blue wax and blue extra did the trick. Some of the best skiing at Sugarbush this season.

I started at the Britton Peak parking lot at 10:30am and skied to the Onion River lot and then on to the Oberg loop, Picnic loop and finished with the Hogback. There is a ton of snow and grooming was great. The skate deck was very solid with about 1/2" of soft cord on top. It was great to hear the sound of my skis vibrating over the cord. There were only 5-6 skaters on the entire system before I did a full loop. People are crazy for not getting out to this gem. Thanks to the grooming crew on a great job!

Fantastic conditions on the trails. We started at the Britton peak trailhead. They got 6-8" in the last few days and it was groomed last night. Pristine! Well packed, deep tracks, 20 degrees. Perfect extra blue wax day.

I started at Oberg parking toward J and K, then did the Homestead Loop. Trails were freshly groomed with great classic track, good glide and kick.

I normally don't report here, but I can't help it this time. All the trails were groomed last night into this morning and set up perfectly. I skied all of the Moose Fence trails and the connector towards intersection N and found everything perfect. Hard-packed powder and great glide. It doesn't get any better than this. The photos will help to tell the story.

Amazing, primo conditions on the Sugarbush trails this morning. Fresh snow groomed last night with low single digit temps set up for perfect conditions. We used wood skis with polar wax which provided a very enjoyable outing. The Sugarbush trails are a gem of the north that are shining with more brilliance in the late winter season.

OMG! Skied Oberg Loop early this morning on pristine trails in perfect condition. Tusen takk (a thousand thanks) to the groomers. Beautiful, quiet woods.
