Ski Trail

Trail Report

Pleasant weather to end the week. Temps in the 30’s Friday morning but brilliant sunshine and blue skies making for a lovely day.

Heavy rain Monday evening measuring to around 3″. Rainfall keeping the water tables and ponds and sloughs higher than average. Thankfully no major wind and just a few branches and a couple trees coming down with the wind.

The woods are very lush and green with the recent warm temps and precipitation. Vibrant with the first wildflowers and greenery sprouting from the forest floor. Leaves on the trees budding and beginning the process to come full circle. More birds migrating in and fun to see scarlet tanagers in the forest recently. We have been clearing on the trails and also planting trees for spring trail work.

Ice off Little Sugarbush lake on May 6th.
