Hi all,

I like to look at the Sugarbush webcams to see the snow conditions and lift lines. The thing that bugs me though, is that I can't get streaming video with Safari on a macbook. I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem, and if they've been able to fix it.

I don't know why I prefer streaming video to still photos, but I do. I sent a query by email to Sugarbush customer service... the text follows. If I get a reply, I'll post it.

I have never been able to get streaming video on the Sugarbush App. I was under the impression that the app only did stills. If you are actually going to the web site then I would think there is a solution.

I used to get streaming video on my Mac until this year now I only get it on my iPad using Safari. Never tried it with the app. Not sure what the difference is?

I used to only get stills on the app on my galaxy s3. After an app update a couple weeks ago it said double click on the still for video. That works now. Don't know about macbook. Windows and ipads have been fine on the site.

Off topic a bit but I wish on the website the temps were ordered by the way the mountain is.
Summit
Mid
Base
Currently the opposite.
I wish the app was the same way.
Not a big deal, just the way I think.
