I decided at 10am this morning to head on over to Sugar and get a few turns in. Had a great day and pulled an afternoon session. Made laps on the upper part of the mountain where the line was almost nothing. The bottom was ok, but I stayed away.
Snow coverage was really good considering that everything was bare 48 hours ago.
White stripe
Good snowmaking last night covered up pretty well
looking down
such a nice day

thanks to these things, we can ski
and these
base was very low, but I never hit a rock or much mud on the slope at all, only real mud was on loading and unloading
A few thin spots
but I did wear the "rock skis" just in case
glad I wore the rock skis now
sweet!!!
My first trip to Sugar Mtn. was great! I had a great time and give huge props to them for opening so early with so little snow!

Its amazing that a ski area can get away with this:
I know Sugar gets trashed a lot on this board, but pictures like this back up every single disparaging comment. What a joke.

they could have shoveled enough to take the edge off of this...but I guess that was just too much work.
Even with all the mud, I still give them props for opening!!! I walked away happy just knowing I got to make turns and feel the carve!

does anyone know why the lift operators had to scan your lift ticket every time you went through the line, it wasn't a problem today but if that will be the norm I can see it being a logistical nightmare when humanity decides to come in full force.
