Sugarbush 1/11/25

[NMSKI]

Came up north for a quick ski weekend with the son.  It was snowing when we woke up and I think they reported 2 new inches and I had heard it snowed an inch or two almost every day this week.  Coverage was really good and lots of terrain was open with great conditions mostly.  We skied lots of natural bumps.  I finally skied paradise which has never been open when I’m here, and we found some fun woods that we had never skied before.  Our favorite spot in the woods needed a little more coverage unfortunately.  Castle rock was open to hikers so we made the hike on the Long Trail from the top of Paradise and skied Castlerock Run to Cotillion to Lower Lift Line.  It was a blast!  We did a few laps of the north lynx terrain which was all nice natural bumps.  We will be skiing Killington tomorrow and it’s been snowing a little all day so hoping for some good conditions!

Titty sparkles everywhere, way to slut it up for the camera too

Looks great and aren’t they running the Castlerock chair?

Nope.  Not sure if it’s a problem with the chair or that they limit traffic.

How long of a hike was that? I haven't been to Sugarbush in a while but Castlerock seemed pretty far from everything else.

Super easy hike.  Took probably 30 minutes, but I would have done it in 15 if not with my son.  Very flat and there a couple parts where you can put the skis/board back on and ski across.
