It sure has been quite the early season ride!
Your good editor finally made it out to Sugar for some turns first thing in December. Â Trails were skied again like the old friends they area, and favorite chill spots were visited and inaugurated for the season. Â Steilhang, Disney cave, Hari-Kari, the Tippy Top, the eponymous Sugar Bowl and the Office too! Â No Sisters for me yet – saw folks picking their way down but I’ll be waiting for a little more coverage personally.
Everyone was stoked for the precipitation arriving this week, but alas… just a little too warm, and it has been almost entirely rain.
Lincoln and Disney have been open (plus Nob and Christmas Tree). Â Village only / gondola access most days of the season so far. Â J side was open the first weekend in December, but with the rain this weekend, Sugar was closed entirely on Saturday and then just the Village today.
At least on the bright side, there’s more precipitation arriving. Â If temps stay cold this time, that could erase all those frowns quickly!
