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.

31° at start. Apparently it stayed cold enough to avoid most of the rain. I broke trail in 4" of fresh snow. I only went out to 2k on Onion River road because it started clumping on kick zone. Return was good. The good news is, there is 4 inches of fresh snow, not ice, so once they groom it should be good again.

Skied Around Homestead and Hogack from Briton Peak trailhead in late afternoon after a morning of rain and wet snow. Skate deck was still firm fast but not icy. Tracks looked fine but I did not get in them on any downhills. New snow was less than an inch. Conditions still quite good in spite of the weather.

Skied from Moose Fence and included upland loop before heading down to Onion River Road area, and back to Britton Peak Trailhead via Homestead and Hogback. All tracks in excellent condition and mostly debris free. First 12k saw no one on trail. Beautiful scenery and long, winding decents. Unmatched scenery and perfect conditions.
