A fresh dose of snow is on the way for Sugarloaf, with 12–13 inches expected over the next 72 hours and up to 15 inches in the next five days. This much-needed snowfall will help bolster the base, which remains well below average for this time of year. Overnight temperatures hovered around 38°F, so expect a mix of soft spring conditions in the lower elevations and improving powder up top as the new snow accumulates. Groomers will be working hard to keep trails in top shape, and with new snow in the forecast, conditions should continue to improve heading into the weekend.
Currently, the snowpack is significantly lower than usual, sitting at just two inches, but the incoming storm could provide a welcomed reset. If you're heading up, bring your wider skis for the fresh snow and be prepared for changing conditions throughout the day. With no major news updates from the region, all eyes are on the skies as Sugarloaf gears up for a much-needed late-season refresh. Stay tuned for updates, and get ready to enjoy some fresh turns as winter makes a comeback!
