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.

Another beautiful day at Sugarbush after grooming last night, fast and fun. Hoarfrost at the higher elevations, extremely scenic. It's clear that the crew had quite a cleanup job after the storm, and at this point the only sign on the trail itself is the occasional spot of pine needles. A few human-shaped divots out there, easy to avoid if you pay attention (try not to get too preoccupied looking at the scenery). Base is just a little punchy in places too.

All of the loops I skied had nice deep tracks, including the picnic loop. Skate deck also looked excellent. Some of the best skiing conditions I've had this winter!

Grooming was fantastic for both skate and classic, with deep perfect tracks and smooth firm deck. We skied several of the loops from the Britton Peak trailhead, including Wood Duck, Bridge Run, and Homestead. Several other trail systems along the North Shore have large sections still closed due to fallen trees and branches from previous storms. But we saw no blockages or trail debris at Sugarbush. The trail stewards/groomers have done an awesome job!

28 degrees and one-half inch fresh snow at 11 am at Onion River parking lot. Onion River Road and Oberg Loop skate deck freshly rolled. We were first to ski classic tracks. Lovely ski.

Great grooming, great trail. Firm and fairly fast condition made for a great ski. Track was solid, skating lane was great when you wanted to bail out of the tracks and slow down. Descents were easy to control. One of the best trails anywhere. Lynx were using the trails as well.

In the morning I started at Britton parking lot and skied the Homestead loop. Good track, fast downhill but had a little trouble on the up hills. Then I drove to the Onion River parking lot and skied Oberg. Found good tracks but someone walked the skate lane for a few miles. From the Oberg I skied to the end of the Onion River. Tracks had the usual pine and fir needles and a few pine cones but didn't cause any issues. It was a great day skiing on the Sugarbush system. Thank you donors and groomers.
