trailertrash Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 Groomers are being told opening date is planned for Friday 11/18. Temps look good for snowmaking starting Monday after the rain clears out. New pumphouse by Bullies is going to improve coverage early season. Scrape the storage wax off your topsheets! @pow4ever, @VTHops, @Jack M, @Beckmann AG, @jl1, @skidad62, @powdahbonz, @MR. JOHN DEERE !, @dhamann, you guys ready? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailertrash Posted November 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2022 Well, the new pumphouse is making a noticeable difference. Sluice Headwall is open already. I think that's the earliest I have seen it open in a long time. It was pretty warm today. Hopefully we don't get too much rain tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted December 22, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Today will easily be a top ten conditions day of the season. Tomorrow, will be shit. Saturday even worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pow4ever Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Thank you Sugarloafer for making it one of best early season in memory. early season Mental notes: Keep weight in front carve like you know what you doing. Be aggressive/confidence. wear boots/liner properly. Lace the liner and stump a few time to make sure feet are fully in heel pocket. Need aft/fore motion and side to side. When motion/riding is right it shouldn't hurt. it hurts because i am doing something wrong. stay low/rotate help with transition but dynamic weighting is even better and sometime need both.

Jack M Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 10" of snow before the rain. No lifts open today. Will snow again on the tail end of the storm. This will go better than anticipated, but it still sucks. Groomers could be decent by Christmas or Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailertrash Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 1" or 10+" in Saco is meaningless. It doesn't get much better than Comp Hill today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailertrash Posted January 25 Author Report Share Posted January 25 Gondi isn't usually ready until later. It doesn't get groomed enough to get firm and flat for a while. @GeoffV is going to pop his Burnt cherry tomorrow morning... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jl1 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 FAIR WARNING A week and a half to go!! Denise and I will be up 2/5-2/10. Long term forecast looks good as of today.Looking forward to doing some riding with the "Locals"(you know who you are). I have not been out on my board yet this season due to local conditions. I think this is our 25th year coming up to Sugarloaf. Hmmmm-As I read this it makes me feel old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack M Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 There is a decent chance I will have to chaperone my daughter to the moguls NorAm at Deer Valley (of all *&%$#@! places) on February 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jl1 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Best of luck for your daughter Jack. You gave me one small tip on my riding either last year or the year before which really helped me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailertrash Posted January 29 Author Report Share Posted January 29 Joe, conditions should be good for you and Denise. Supposed to stay cold this coming week and it's snowing now. Hayburner was great today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
