Re closing - sounds like this is it from the Sugarbush webpage but with the forecast looking a good bit cooler next week maybe the plan could be Thu-Sun, conditions permitting? (and allow all but mt. ellen only pass holders)

While the days still look to be in the 40s on the mountain, temps should be at or well below freezing every night through next Friday and with just a little luck the precip expected Wed/Thu could be the good kind. I realize mountain wants to save some money but maybe hedge a bit instead of waving the white towel on Sunday?

Maybe the Weather Service will be wrong....again. Anyway, I am planning to come up this weekend and take a few runs and have some fun.

thanks for that info. Gee, with a week of 80's, I figured mud season was over.

"It ain't over 'til the Fat Lady Sings". In this case I haven't sung yet so we will see.

Depressing out this AM. I fear we're gonna hear Win sing at Dummy Big Air... Think he'll be dressed up as a fat lady?

Not yet! Stein's will stay open for at least a couple of more days. We might even be able to winch it one night with colder temps and set it up for some nice new soft moguls. Stay tuned.

I'd love another Saturday on Steins. Thanks for the effort Win!
Looks like spring weather finally arrived. Freezing nights and warm sunny days. Maybe even some fresh snow tomorrow and Thursday.
Good for spring skiing and Maple Sugaring.

Are we going to change to spring opening times for Saturday if we are open? 10am-5 pm?
