Sugar - Dec 10th - Slushy, mud pocked, thin coverage

The headline says it all. I will be surprised if they stay open tomorrow. Temperatures steadily climbed and you could see the snow recede on an hourly basis.

In some places you were lucky to have a 6-12 in path of snow/slush to navigate thru without hitting mud, ice, or other exposed objects. (Rocks!)

You have to give them kudos though for keeping it open. It's better than nothing.

Since Beech will not open tomorrow as they previously advertised, that will give me a jump on the road trip to Snowshoe. Curious to see their conditions.

I'm very curious to see conditions at Snowshoe. The Shaver's Centre cam looks good, but they aren't pointing the Boathouse cam up at the slopes. The Basin cam then shows this.

Watching the Sugar base cam is very entertaining today :lol: watching the different ways folks are navigating the 30 ft of mud and grass to get on the lift is funny as hell
