Last Chair:

Early this week Mother Nature made it hard to get outside. With wind gusts exceeding 90 miles an hour at the top of Sugarloaf on Tuesday, you can expect what that will do to ski lifts. Thankfully, the state saw what I would say is an apology as we had sun and relatively warm temps for the remainder of the week.

Weather:

Well… Today is windy. Thankfully, the wind should be leaving tonight leaving a great weekend of February Vacation. Warm temps and sunshine are on tap this weekend as we finish one of the best weeks in skiing. Keep an eye on the Mountain Lift Status page to stay in the loop with the current lift status.

Weather:

Well… Today is windy. There’s no sugarcoating it. However, the wind will be blowing in some serious pow coming on Sunday! It might be worth taking some time off on Monday, cough cough!

While we’re looking at some colder temps this weekend, the incoming snow should help make things feel a little warmer.

Last Chair:

WOOO I’m glad we’re out of that one! This past week brought some serious cold. With the wind chills, we saw temps in the double digits – that is if you put a negative sign in front of it all! Thankfully, looking ahead, the sun and warmer temps are headed back! Props to everyone who braved the cold for some fresh conditions. All of our resorts we cover are once again open so check out the Resort Status page!

Weather:

The temps are looking warmer… as long as you don’t look at the lows. The silver lining for the negative numbers is that snowmakers will be cranking on all cylinders. The sun will make an appearance on Saturday (which is what I’m bidding for at Sugarloaf’s Charity Summitx Auction). This weekend might be a good one to crack into the hand warmers, the official maracas of all skiers, and keep an eye out on the little ones you’re with. Check in with the Mountain Lift Status page to stay in the loop with current lifts.
