Freshly groomed Monday. We did Britton Peak to Hogback Loop and also Homestead Loop. Groomed for both classic and skate. It was awesome.

Such a wonderful place to ski. Picnic loop is currently closed. I skied the Homestead and Hogback loops and they were perfect for me. A few soft spots, but mostly smooth sailing. Some debris, but easily avoided if you stay focused. I almost wiped out once due to a stick because I was looking at the beautiful views.

Lovely ski out and back along Onion River Rd in fresh corduroy. Would have done Oberg loop if I had more time. A couple branches easily avoided.

Did Onion River Rd section and bit beyond that. Excellent grooming despite all the snow over the weekend. Makes me sad to have to go back to the manufactured snow in the city.

Thank you super groomer for working with the new snow! Skied Onion River Rd to X, fresh double tracked with wide skate lane. Snow a bit sticky but great conditions in 34° temps. Took M back to parking lot with a single track and skate lane. One small wet spot which was skiable. All wonderful condions.

Three plus inches of pristine sticky snow. Skier tracked, slow going but beautiful. Will head out again tomorrow to see if grooming has commenced.

Classic skied Hogback and Homestead from Briton Peak trailhead. Skied during the heavy wet snow with temps hovering around freezing. Wore my rain jacket! Skied through 2 to 3 inches of new wet snow, breaking trail on Hogback and Homestead and following skier tracks on the connector and trailhead loops. Skiing was of course slow but skins worked reasonably well. The only issue is dips in the trail under which there was often water. Not an issue when you could see them and ski fast thru them, but new snow and skiing at and beyond dusk made for some challenges. Will be back tomorrow with more daylight!

I skied most of the system over the last couple of days. Groomers were great in getting out right after 5-6 inches of new snow. Conditions are quite good on the Onion River Road. The rest of the trails have some easily avoidable bare spots but are classic groomed throughout and are in quite good shape for this early in the season.

The 6" of snow Tuesday along with good grooming and cold temps Wednesday set up the Onion River trails perfectly today! It was like skiing on butter. Deck had firmed up nicely and tracks too. The Picnic turnoff and Britton Peak connector trails were rolled only. Met some nice guys out classic skiing the ORR and others simply had big smiles and a hearty hey-ya as we passed. The grooming at Sugarbush is top notch! Get out here folks, it's great!

Moonlit ski on the Onion River Road, -9° made for a beautiful adventure on wood skis! Onion River Rd was groomed today, the tracks and skate deck were firm. Lovely!
