Mt Ellen farewell April 6, 2014
Date(s) Skied: April 6, 2014
Resort or Ski Area: Mt Ellen at Sugarbush
Conditions: Sunny, 32 degrees at the summit, mid 40’s base. Spring skiing !
Sunday was the season finale at Mt Ellen which had a planned close for 3/30 but reopened for a Passholder Appreciation Weekend. Once again the mountain will close with 100% of the terrain open. I did not get out on Saturday but didn’t miss anything because the mountain was iced up from the weather on Friday. I woke up Sunday to cloudy skies and flurries and was prepared for the worst. Fortunately the sun came out around 10 AM and the temperatures warmed up for an almost perfect day of spring skiing. I did the 11 to 4 shift and had a great day.
First run hero snow on Inverness:
