Weather at Sugarloaf
Weather at Sugarloaf: a six-day forecast for three elevations of the mountain. Temperature, precipitation, wind and cloud cover from MET Norway. Updated several times a day.
What the weather at Sugarloaf is usually like
The ski area runs from 426 to 1,286 m above sea level - a 860 m vertical. In January the daytime average is -4 °C at the base and -9 °C at the summit. Plan for that 6 °C gap: what feels right at the base will be cold up top. The summit sits around -9 °C at the same time of year - at that point the wind matters more than the thermometer.
Average daytime highs at the summit stay below freezing from November through March.
Snowmaking covers 50% of the runs, so the start of the season barely depends on when natural snow arrives. The season usually runs from 21 November to 25 April.
By March the base is around 2 °C while the summit still holds -4 °C: on days like that, start early and stay high. Based on monthly averages and the resort elevations. For the coming days, see the forecast above.
