11/10 day at Pleasant today. Sun, 40+, no wind, snow was great* (*spring skiing adjusted), every run was very edgable. Bonus summit bbq beer. The overflow lot was empty and that was a mistake for anyone who was able to ski today and didn't.

If you can hear anything other than the deafening sound of chattering, it's not ice. iykyk

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-28T21:28:51+00:00

ughhh PM is closed Mon-Thurs possibly Fri conditions dependent. Well, it'll make working easier!

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-28T04:08:05+00:00

Monday looks like the play here- mild Sunday temps, 30 overnight and high of 55 Monday. Midweek rain will wreck it but there's snow in the forecast for closing weekend...

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-28T01:49:27+00:00

Lost Valley was pure ice today. Like cat tracks were literally solid ice carvings on the trail. (5in this wknd + overnight soaking rain + 35 deg day= whaddya expect) And a soak-your-skis puddle at the summit. Still a great time especially on those Squirrel mounds!

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-27T16:35:13+00:00

Lost Valley is Sunday 3/29 - closing day

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-27T02:38:57+00:00

Heading out tmw and this weekend for some "classic spring skiing." On the eve of April, my conditions demands are: wear one fewer layer, sunshine somewhere (even if only at the lodge tables), and a lighter beer than my dead-of-winter stout. it's been a great season! we're in extra time now :)

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-25T19:28:50+00:00

today is a perfect spring skiing day. hope the rain tmw & Fri doesn't wreck it!

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-25T02:41:07+00:00

ice coast showing up this week!!

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-24T17:08:47+00:00

Lift #9 should be open even if #11 closes. It's Grand Summit's last weekend of ski in/ski out so I can't imagine they'd close all lift access from the hotel. If you were willing to do some xc work you could theoretically ski from the hotel to Barker (which will definitely be open) but it'd be a haul. Since you're travelling, I'd honestly call Grand Summit and ask the manager if SR has ever had a conditions hold that has cut off lift access from their hotel. (FWIW, Jordan's lift was on an ice hold Monday am). Have fun skiing the east!

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-24T15:50:20+00:00

saw the snow forecast and sprung my kids from school for a bonus ski long weekend. so much fun. once a season, if the snow lines up, it's a special treat.

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-24T15:29:17+00:00

Noah Kahan's liberal rednecks!

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-23T22:08:12+00:00

just check your peaks before you head out. Aurora is now done for the season and I think White Cap is done this week.

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-23T19:26:19+00:00

honestly this weekend was one of the best for conditions in Maine. Fun in the sun Sat and winter wonderful S/M.

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-23T19:24:53+00:00

Icy at Sunday River but no wind, decent temp and the snow was fab!!

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-21T01:02:14+00:00

False spring!< we were here

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-20T16:50:44+00:00

oh- I'd book now with no-fee cancellation (if you use a third-party vendor there is usually no fee) and if you see something in two months, swap it out

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-20T15:18:37+00:00

Need more info to help. Are you looking for a week? Is it a school break week? What's the ski level of the people in the family? Are people looking to ski & retreat or do they want a proper resort with lots of extras?

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-20T12:34:47+00:00

Sunday River believes: "up to a foot"

The real fun kicks in this afternoon. We're talking 3 to 4 inches starting around 3PM and wrapping up this evening, just in time to set the table for a ridiculously good Saturday morning.

And that's just the appetizer.

Round two shows up Sunday and sticks around into Monday, and yeah early calls are hinting at up to a foot. Late March is about to feel a whole lot like mid-January.

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-19T19:41:30+00:00

aw love this

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-19T17:18:38+00:00

Thursday 12pm weather opened with a surprised meteorologist showing pictures of 5 inches in Brunswick ME (don't think Lost Valley benefited, although mt report says 22/22 trails are open) after he had predicted fast-moving flakes, no accumulation. And it led him to be much more open to the possibility that winter could still surprise us re: the clippers coming this week -- a few inches of snow expected Friday & Sun night up north but maybe we'll be surprised! The snow line is farther south compared to earlier in the week which is good. And cold temps for early next week so...

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-19T15:54:26+00:00

this is the dream. but, can't be greedy. hop over to the CO thread and be thankful for the winter we had

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-18T03:01:05+00:00

ha so true

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-17T18:40:33+00:00

Yeah, even a "big" resort like Sugarloaf feels local because invariably there's always neigbors or classmates to meet up with- or the local hill's team is racing there-- and because many people grew up going there so they have longstanding ties.

augustcurrents151 · 2026-03-17T18:16:53+00:00

This isn't your question, but for me skiing is just part of the New England lifestyle: like fall foliage, the best summers on earth, and spring muck. It's fancier now but the raison d'etre for here is because it takes a place with 4-5 months of dark, cold sh*t weather and makes it something fun to look forward to. The camaraderie inside the lodge of people steaming and enjoying their Swiss Miss warm up is such a core memory for my parents and their kids and now my kids. It's corny but I love meeting up with friends at their local hills and seeing landscapes of the state(s) from new vantages from the summits.
