I agree with Hawk about the limited expert terrain at the top of MEllen. Black diamond is great but very short. FIS, same. In New England, the highest elevation tends to be where the best snow is...

Lift Line and Rumble are a tie for me.
Having a few top 20 finishes in the CR extreme, I love non-stop runs down lift line with all the natural features and jumps to play with. The head wall always...
Having worked and shortened a tow rope on a lift at K-mart many moons ago, they take the weight off the counter balance that is on the end of a lift. This causes the haul rope to slacken. Then they...
I thought they already have one. I've seen a drone with a camera flying around at the fireworks this past winter. Figured that was the mountains. Or at least Atkinson driving from his home in...
Seats get more comfortable with a quilt or pillow. I might fasten a drink holder to both uprights, and if space allows, make it so it gently swings. Just like during a nor'easter but without the cold...
Yup, I'd buy one and make it a feature seat in my condo. No better decor than a chair lift to relax in and wish for the next Nor'easter to blow in!
Best 200ft to ski! ;-)
Everyone knows Hawk. Best look'n guy in the place. You can't miss him.
Shawn will be passing him mixed drinks over the crowd.
Really should consider Wunderbar though....
Wouldn't any day skiing, and not working be best?
Also, a Magic Carpet that goes from the base up to Valley house would get more people to the Mushroom, when Win re-opens it as a "pub with a view"
It isn't fun walking up the 100 ft while avoiding...
If only I could get my wife to utter those first three words.....;-)
I agree that a waffle house/burrito house and a beer tap at the base of North Lynx lift would get plenty of use. OK, hot cocoa...
Pico or Smuggs
I had to add Smuggs because the website won't let you only enter 4 letters, funny.
The "upgrade" last year to the Wunderbar, by adding Emily and staff was fabulous. It was easy to ski to, easy to get a beer quickly, the service was fast and efficient and the food is good. It is...
From the header I thought you were talking about the weather for next week.
Looks like 5-6 days of continuous snow coming.
That definitely is the moment I've been waiting for this year. I got no...
And then there was this guy out in Utah.

I've almost run over this little guy in the past. Don't recommend...
Hi SVG,
Lots of questions. I don't have many specific answers for you for many of your questions but I can give you some general info regarding wind effect on lifts, I having worked lifts for a...
Yup, looks like a warm up with some immature snow coming.
Strange, having such a long dry spell without a big storm this time of year. Usually, it seems like we've had a couple of shoveling events...
Not much to add since the guys who answered already pretty much nailed it.
I'd just add that the Baron is the lighter version of the Duke. Almost a pound lighter. If your weight and ski level can...
Nope, I'm a Vermonter, born and raised. I don't get stuck in the snow.
I earned money for college by driving around Killington in the winter and charging Flatlanders $20 to get their SUV out of snow...
And those weather tech mats work great if you get a tire stuck in a hole and just spinning. Just slip them under your spinning tire and viola your out of the hole. Works great on the beach if you get...
Yup, dry like a martini.
I've got a brand spanking new pair of powder skis I'm waiting to take for a spin. Right now, I don't see anything even in the long range forecast to give me hope of a big...
Just read Win's word. Looks like for an "up charge" of $80, the for20's club can ski at MRG during the week. Very nice benefit indeed.
It sure would be nice for Full price season pass holders to...
Having worked lifts and maintenance at K-mart and having help replace/shorten a lift line, that is a job best done under very good weather. Trying to splice a lift line in any temp lower than 60F...
Over the 4th, someone in the Village told me that they finally passed the permit process and would start breaking ground in July or August.
Seems like a very late start which the person with the...
No rest for the weary Hawk. Good luck with the Reno.
I too saw on the Stoke Exchange that there are two new trails. I hiked around two weeks ago but didn't see or hear of them. I'll try to find...
