I'm a Sugarloaf season pass holder so I'm biased. The mountain has had very little natural snow this year, but the groomed surface is really excellent. With the opening of the new West Mtn terrain it has really spread out skiers, and added to the resorts appeal. There is excellent tree skiing stashed all over the mountain. All we need now is for mother nature to cooperate and give us some fresh snow. The Bag, Brickyard Hollow, and slightly off mountain The Rack are all great options for food and drinks.
