[snowriders] Sugarloaf 3/25

[MIT Snowriders Members]

There are still plenty of spots available for our trip to
Sugarloaf<http://snowriders.mit.edu/details_bustrip.php?id=146ae6ce3c7abc3c37a198e694cabcb8>this
weekend.

However, with melting temperatures and the possibility of
rain<http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=45.02&lon=-70.31>throughout
the week, conditions on the mountain would seem to be uncertain
for our upcoming trip. Spring has indeed sprung early this year.

If enough people are interested in going up for some spring riding this
weekend, then we can still run the trip.
