Pardon me Sugarloaf, your backside is showing!

That's right. Sugarloaf's backside snowfields are open for skiers and riders. This premier resorts has received almost 40 inches of new snow this past week and the resort is now 100 percent open.

The mountain sports the only above tree-line skiing in the east, with the overall snow depth at 167 inches for the season … so far. And March has historically been one of the snowiest months at the resort.

One hundered percent of Sugarloaf's terrain is now open, offering snowfields named routes including High Rigger, Hard Tack and Pure Heat, as well as the Front side trails of Jagger, Ignitor and White Nitro Extension, which is regularly groomed.

So get those boards, teles and straight sticks out and get out and play. "Call in sick," you say? If you do, just don't say you're 'sick of the snow!' Tell the boss you're sick and on the backside! Better hope you don't meet the 'boss' up there making tracks!

Ski and ride safely. Use your head and don't forget to wear a helmet!
