Just time for a quick recap of the early season…
Sugar has been on the weekend warrior schedule since opening. I was out of the area vising family and missed Thanksgiving weekend. Last weekend there was a last-minute surprise Friday opening that left more than a few folks disappointed they missed it. Conditions were good but there was no mistaking it was still early season.
That brings us to this Friday! Some folks in town were grumpy the Thursday storm wasn’t quite as huge as predicted, but Sugar still picked up almost 2 feet up top. Lift ops was a bit rusty today with multiple problems on Nob Hill at 9am that sent most of the lift line hiking to Lincoln, which had a few problems of its own later on. Nevertheless it was a great day. Not the fluffiest powder, but it is hard to complain about some good cement for the base. Disney opened up at noon for the season and the Sisters were open for the first time all season. Judah side opens tomorrow.
Sugar Bowl will now be open 7 days a week going (about time!). I’ll be picking up the pace and posting more often now that I can ski more often, though like other Slightly Restricted passholders I’m blacked out between Christmas and New Years. I predict it will be probably be crowded. 🙂
Anyway, time for me to stop writing for now and make some sunny Saturday turns. See you on the mountain!
