Another absolutely outstanding day! There's still plenty of powder to be found for you know where to look. It's pretty busy again today, and there's sometimes a couple minute wait for the lifts.

Wow....looks awesome!

With temperatures reaching almost 50 today, there were spring-like conditions across the mountain. All terrain is still open, but some thin spots are starting to show. Moguls are starting to form on some ungroomed terrain. It was another pretty busy day with occasional lift lines throughout the morning and early afternoon.

Got word Stuart W broke his leg there yesterday

The weather is back to feeling like winter and the snow has firmed up. Groomed trails are skiing very well, and minimal crowds today means that they aren't getting quickly scraped off. Anything ungroomed is bulletproof and isn't very great.

Yeah, He did :( , Tib/Fib caused from his binding failing to release while skiing the Penobscot trail. He had a full day leading up to that with a glade tour that checked many of the boxes without hiking. BMOM Ski Patrol provided Pro level care and many people stepped up to assist him, including getting his vehicle back to NYC. Kudos to Sunday River for helping out even though Stuart wasn't skiing there. The ski community helps their own!

That’s good news all the help he got, he is an original Michigander.

Get well Stuart!
Compounded my tib- fib once, no fun

The weather the past few days was not kind to us. Any ungroomed terrain is completely solid, and many ungroomed trails are closed. Groomed trails have excellent edgable conditions on some trails, but others are more slick. Allagash and Saint John are temporarily closed while snow is being made on the upper sections for the first time ever. They should reopen this afternoon or tomorrow. The other good news is that we still have good cover across the mountain!

The 2 inches of new snow has made surfaces somewhat better than they were yesterday, but it is still very slick under the new snow. Ungroomed stuff is now somewhat skiable thanks to the new snow, but it's far from great.

Finally some more snow! We have about 4 inches so far, and we expect about double that by day's end. The new snow is starting to bring more natural terrain back into play as there is luckily still a decent base in most areas.

We ended up with about 8 inches of light new snow. It provided a much needed refresh to the trails and everything is open again, except for Songo. There is definitely some very thin cover on some natural trails, but lower angle glades and trails are skiing quite well again. Any trail with a snowmaking base under the new snow is outstanding. It's one of our busiest days so far this year, and lift lines are reaching 5-7 minutes long at times.

Excellent conditions today! The crowds are lighter and the snow quality is still great across the mountain! Both groomed and natural trails are skiing very well. There's still untracked powder to be found in the woods.

Conditions are outstanding on this bluebird day! It started off colder, but is now almost spring-like. Most trails are still open and many glades are still skiing well. This may be one of the last days of great conditions of the season, as this coming week does not look nice.

Today has brought warmer temperatures and off and on rain. However, the snow is still good and the mountain isn't busy at all!

The precipitation started as rain today, but has since switched to snow. There is still a good amount of natural snow, and every trail except Songo and Upper Allagash are open. Many glades are also still skiable. Tomorrow should be a great day!

NewEnglandSkier13

Wow, things have changed quick today! About half a foot of snow has already fallen, and the skiing is amazing!

The skiing is outstanding today! There's half a foot of new snow and everything except Songo is open! The glades and natural trails are excellent as well.

Hey that's fantastic, I went to Mt A on Saturday after the precipitation started the changeover. At first I couldn't see anything and it was spiky snow/ice but soon became fluffy pow and it was terrific. I was thinking about you a few miles north and figured it was even better at Black!

It's getting thin out there, but there is still good skiing to be had! About half of the mountain is still open and even some woods are still skiable. There is on and off rain today and the mountain is just about empty.

Similar conditions to yesterday, but warmer and with no rain. Luckily the rain didn't do too much damage, but the warm temps today will hurt. There was a nice undercast this morning, and we've got one more weekend of skiing left!
