Snow Reporter Comments:

May 2nd 2025, 1:35 PM: We're looking forward to one last hurrah this weekend, and as a big thank you for a great season we're offering FREE skiing and riding to everyone both Saturday and Sunday. All you have to do is grab your free ticket online in advance. Come out and enjoy some turns, the Last Weekend Luau, a Kentucky Derby Viewing Party, apres music, and then consider taking some swings at the golf course, which also opens this weekend.

Stein's Run will be groomed and open alongside Coffee Run. For those looking to get a little exercise in, we will be grooming Spring Fling, which will only be accessible via hiking down from Snowball. With grooming operations occuring tomorrow morning and minimal terrain available, we ask that all uphill travel takes place at Mt. Ellen this weekend.

Thank you to everyone who has tracked their vertical through the Sugarbush or Ikon App. The Descent To Rise Above has now posted nearly 800 million feet of vertical as we strive for our goal of a BILLION vertical feet in a single season, all in the name of mental health and wellbeing! Be sure to use the hashtag #BeOneOfABillion on social media to tell us YOUR story of why you're tracking and what mental health and wellness means to you. Or shoot us an email at communications@sugarbush.com to share your story. Your participation could win you prizes or a feature, but most importantly, could inspire others to get out and ski for a worthy cause. You've got two more days to track...get after it!
