Beautiful day to ski the picnic loop. Blue skies with temps in the 20's. The tracks were firm but not icy and recently set. There was a tree across the lower picnic loop between points K and L otherwise the trail was immaculate. The picnic loop is a real treat to ski. It is a 25 km wilderness trail with PistenBully grooming and great vistas of the Sawtooth Mountains and Lake Superior. I always try to get up here a few times before the Birkebeiner!

We skied Wood Duck Loop, Piece of Cake Loop, Bridge Run, segment J to K to L, and Homestead Loop. The trails were freshly groomed. The snow was softening in the sun, but was holding up well. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We noticed the classic tracks looked fantastic too. Thank you Sugarbush Trail Association for one of the best days of this winter.

As good as it gets. Perfect temps (high teens), great base, tracks were excellent, and the snow was relatively fresh and fast (for me). No icy patches or tracks covered with drifting snow. We started at Onion River parking lot. My wife skied the L,M, X, W part of the Oberg loop. I split off from her at X and skied the Y, W parts as well.

Morning ski out of the Moose Fence Trailhead. Temp was -7 and I was the only car in the small lot. First time skiing this trail. Didn't quite make it to the Upland loop. Tracks were freshly set. Long gradual up and down hills. Did a sunset ski out of Britton Peak (just the first little green loop (had my 8 y/o with). Tracks also freshly tracked and perfect. We went on the trail to the right out of the parking lot and came back on the loop. It was a nice gradual downhill into the lot that my daughter was thrilled with.

Great conditions for skating today. Skied from Briton Peak around Picnic, Oberg, returning via connector and Homestead. Firm deck, good glide, plenty of cord left even after the weekend of skiing traffic.

My first time at Sugarbush. Trails were amazing, as if set in concrete and perfect for classic skiing (skate deck looked excellent, too). Skied the Oberg Loop and from L-to-K toward the Homestead Loop. Long, generally gentle hills except for the formidable drop at the end of Oberg plus plenty of gently sloping runs for kick-and-glide. Big country with lots of maple forest, sections of black spruce and mixed balsam fir and poplar. Fun to ski in the "shadow" of Leveaux Mountain with Britton Peak in the distance. Friendly folks along the way made it a joy. On your return down Onion River Rd. by car take your time and go slow. The road is icy and steep in spots.
