Winter so far has been the prequel. The real deal starts in about 10 days. And it will last for more than 2 weeks.
Meteorological snowfall measurement is first snowfall to last snowfall. But the Sugarbush measurement is for a ski area, not a NWS weather station. It should be snowfall from open to close, with the...
Then I think you should spend the $500 savings in the Castle Rock pub, and bring a friend or two, to help make up some of that lost revenue! Lots of on mountain projects that won't get done if they...
And I take issue with with advertising to the general public that all 111 trails are "open" when two high quality trails are off limits. Might be splitting hairs but if you claim 111 on the snow...
Elbow and connectors opened today and skied well if you're ok with some wet man made and skiing under guns (I enjoyed). I have to think Looking Good opens tomorrow. Skiing was good in the open...
Thanks Win. You guys have made a strong showing for sure. One of the challenges is that the layout of the mountain requires a lot of acres for run out and not multiple routes down. But that's the...
A couple of snowmaking questions if someone can indulge me.
With temps in mid 20's last night, why no guns on? I know it's humid, but mid 20's should still work?
What is the plan once...
keep the faith - models and forecasters seeing a possible pattern change coming as we get into the New Year. Could be a head fake so fingers crossed, keep snow dancing and THINK SNOW!
Win, what...
Yes, turned MLK. Had first snow here on Long Island, high winds, and a power line down with arcing all night long. Since we had 5" of snow there was no fire risk, but unnerving to have blue light...
Win, we are all hoping, praying and asking Santa for a repeat of 2006!
The models have all shown signs of a change. Whether it in fact happens is a real question as the models have been poor of late especially in predicting cold arriving. So far the reality has been...
Well, here you have it, straight from SB snow report:
Status update for Mon, Nov 23
Currently, we're planning to start spinning lifts for skiing and riding on Thanksgiving Day. Trails include...
Burlington NWS site has good info under "Recreation Forecast". One is the forecast for the high summits of NY and VT. Also, under current Current Observations is Mount Mansfield. Note that sometimes...
Thanks for the update(s) Win. Great to hear of the capacity increase from the new guns. Jester to downspout down to HG, and a dozen on grinder, is a lot different from what I recall a few years ago!...
Win, Shady, somebody! Any snowmaking update? Seems cold has hung around a bit longer than forecasted?
Just shows you how important elevation is. I am surprised you could make it through until 5am Monday.
Should be a window this weekend and maybe some natural too. Unfortunately, what once looked...
I would presume closer spacing and more capacity, hence the conveyor to safely and quickly load people. Otherwise you wouldn't need it.
I agree this looks more like a test, combined with a little marketing psych. Too warm for too long this week IMHO for anything but huge whales to survive and I doubt they can get that down during...
We're getting some consistency from models and forecasters that things start to change as we head toward the weekend of 21st. Whether it will come in time and strong enough for Thanksgiving is a good...
I think you have it right. Time to be patient. Looks like a warm November.
It will be interesting to see if elevation can offset what is looking to be a very mild November. Forecast better for December, and many El Niņo's with warm Novembers turned out to be cold winters....
Any insight as to whether the new chute is clear of debris, especially toward the bottom?
I suspect the justification for a lodge at the top of Gatehouse is also influenced by summer wedding/party opportunities.
Nice shots. That's a lot easier access than the hike to the old double! Gonna make a huge difference. Can't wait to try it out!
