Excited for winter!
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say that I'm really looking forward to this season. I've been glancing through the pics people have posted of the mtn, and it brings back so many great memories, and the promise of more to come! I can't wait until the first drive up this fall, where there is enough snow to ride!
My wife and I are going up this weekend for our 3rd anniversary (I proposed to her on a summer hike up Gondi Line 4 years ago, and we met through snowboarding, so Sugarloaf has always had even more special meaning for us), so I'll take some pics of what is going on up on the hill.
Time is winding down!

I can't wait for snow either. We just hiked up Sugar Loaf from the hiking trail up the back side of it, was a pretty sweet hike and totally recommend it. Have fun!

Great to see the stoke in here! Overnight temps will be in the 30s this week - it's feeling more and more like fall up here all the time. In case anyone missed it we added a countdown to opening day on the community homepage (see image below). See you up here this weekend Fred - Happy Anniversary!

Hi Ethan (or Lizzy!),
How are you doing?
I'll keep an eye out for you while we're up there. I'm sure we'll be cruising around the base lodge area on Sat after our climb. Thanks for the congrats. :)
I love the countdown meter, and have been watching it for a few days. Amazing how it's already getting close!
The stoke-o-meter is getting higher!
See you soon!

Hey Fred!
I'll be at the loaf this coming weekend for a wedding! I have a brand new pair (ha) of vintage ladies 170 straight edge skis for the season and believe me.. my closet of vintage ski wear is just itching to be worn!
With the chill in the air... I think the 'loafer inside of us all is getting giddy...

It seems like it would have made more sense to shut SQ down on a slow tuesday and put the sheaves on and have less windholds then to leave it for later and have more windholds
Thanks for the update. It's nice to know the highly touted sheeve trains will still be installed. I think last year had less wind than '07/'08 and '080/'09 and but it will be interesting to see if they improve the wind resistance of the SQ.
I think…
I hope Ethan can fill us in on this one. Many of my Loafer friends and I are puzzled by this question. Last year this was announced as an improvement for the SQ to make it more likely to run in windy conditions. Nothing was done and the rumor mill…
I guess "they" read my post. Still nothing official about 2010-11 skiing improvements, though the Zipline and Chairlift rides will help make SL more interesting in the noon-ski season. Also, the Zipline may run in winter too.
Well, the old photo gallery on the left is gone. I'll miss her. It was like that old truck rotting beside the garage. Now that she's gone, you realize you really did love her.

Why does this site continue to show pictures from "This is a collection of photos of this year's Capital Improvements in progress." and all the pics are from the summer of 2009. The section is captioned "What's new for 2009-10?"

a t-bar would be cool and maybe a trail or two to go with and a kick ass glade
I'd love to have just a T-Bar!!
although it wont have any meaning to many skiers it will attract enthusiasts if there was a hike only gladed area or extreme like area over there. It would create a rage similar to what casablanca did at saddleback if it can be reached with a short…
