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!

Last Chair:

This past week we saw some great skiing, albeit cold, it was great to see new snow (and not from the HKD sticks). Good news is that the new snow is continuing and we can see anywhere from 4-9 during this storm. Keep doing those snow dances, Mainely Skiers!

Weather:

While we’re looking at some colder temps this weekend, the incoming snow should help make things feel a little warmer. It’s still a good idea to check in with those around you and take breaks often when skiing with little ones. Check in with the Mountain Lift Status page to stay in the loop with current lifts.
