    Mad river, Stowe, Jay, Killington are all open. Sugarbush is somehow able to run only Castlerock. They can even run Sunny D. It's like they're not even trying.

    This site has been marked at deceptive for quite some time now, and no one has done anything about it. The traffic is dwindling and it has probably lost critical mass. Is there some alternative? How...

    Name the snow stake rabbit

    There's a rabbit that shows up occasionally on the snow stake webcam. There are almost always foot prints around the snow stake. So, I pose a challenge for the few people who click through warnings...

    I've made good use of rock skis this winter. I've trashed one pair, tearing out an edge. I'm trashing another pair now. Deep in the inventory, there's an old pair of Legend 8800's that might see rock...

    That's impressive. Normally, you put about 205 olympic swimming pools on the slopes. This year, you've had to put about 250.

    Ha ha, guilty as charged. In the summer I sail, so I am aware of knots and splicing more than most people. I often notice the cable spice on chair lifts.

    Wire cable splices are interesting...

    Glad to hear that. I think there might be a small marketing opportunity here. If you google "ski lift cable splice", the first few results will be youtube videos that show cable splicing. When I did...

    I'm hoping that someone will photograph/video the cable splicing on Wednesday. It would make a great youtube video. There aren't many videos of this.

    My guess is that much of the work isn't very visible. Putting the towers in is visible, but it has to go quickly because helicopter time is both limited and expensive. It's so expensive that a lot of...

    A really cool thing to see would be the splicing of the cable. I'm aware of only one video on youtube that shows a chairlift cable being spliced. I hope someone will video the process.

    In downhill mountain biking, that would be called a "filter feature." It's a tough obstacle at the beginning of trail intended to keep people from going where they don't belong. In this case though,...

    Live webcams now work on a Mac. With the old website, I could only see still images. Weirdly, I could get live webcams on an iPad with safari.

    Webcams never worked well with the iPad app. For...

    This year I spent 22 days predominantly at Lincoln peak, and 4 days at Mount Ellen. Of the 22 days at Lincoln peak, on a few days I did just a few runs at Mount Ellen.

    Howie,

    I thought we were talking about official named trails on the Sugarbush map. I don't want to get specific about ones that aren't on the map. But, I'll just say that of the woods trails...

    Definitely Rumble! It has the pitch, the bumps, good length, and the best snow on Castlerock. I have the impression that the same bumps persist from year to year on Rumble. I assume that's because...

    I would love to see how the cable is spliced. I hope the cable splicing is captured on video and posted.
  21. Is anyone able to get streaming webcam video on a mac?

    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...
  22. Interesting link about snowmaking guns

    I was curious about the new snow guns and did a quick web search to see who makes them.

    I found that there's a company in Natick, MA of all places. They have a web page: www.snowgun.com

  23. Re: Times Argus: Sugarbush's FIS is Top Trail at Top Resort

    FIS the best trail? I can think of any number of trails that are better. FIS is good, but it isn't very long, and is often icy. Black Diamond is much better, as are Tumbler and Hammerhead. Almost...

    Treeskier,

    Glad to hear you're on the road to recovery. The trees miss you and became icy and cruel as a result.

    Get well soon.
