Fresh powder alert! Sugar Peak is set for a stellar day on the slopes this February 16, 2025. Overnight temperatures dipped to a crisp 17.7°F, preserving the snow quality for prime skiing conditions. The snowpack sits at 11 inches—still building, though notably below average for this time of year. However, Mother Nature is delivering, with 9.15 inches of fresh snow expected throughout the day. Over the next five days, nearly another 9 inches are forecasted, ensuring a soft and powdery surface for skiers and riders.

With a steady snowfall on the horizon, conditions will be excellent for powder turns and tree runs, though visibility may be affected at times. Groomers will be working hard to keep trails in top shape, and early risers can expect smooth corduroy on the main runs before the fresh snow builds up. No major local news headlines are impacting operations, so it's all clear for a fantastic day at Sugar Peak. Layer up, wax those skis, and get ready to carve through fresh snow on a classic Maine winter day!
