I was checking out the update on the recent VTBC meeting and noticed this blurb about Mt. Ellen uphill. Anyone have more details?

Before or after they tore around Mt. Ellen in a bunch of Porsche's?
I shouldn't complain. The inability to get the masses to the base of HG and Castlerock is ideal for those of us capable of...
what a joke. the lift situation this year is completely unacceptable and the mountain should be embarrassed. Has a major mountain ever had this much trouble with this many lifts in a single season?
My thoughts exactly.............. snowmaking trails were showing some bare spots last weekend and needed some fresh surface.
Thoughts on if there will be a Sugarcard this year? And if so, what are the terms?
Also, any sense of lift ticket prices this year?
Things are ramping up. Exciting.
fwiw- I've read elsewhere that other mountains got caught by the quick warmup and ended up with some icy trails.
Unfortunately the weather forecast through December will only compound issues with snowmaking capabilities. From what I read there is little hope for sustained snowmaking temps over the next few...
I could have the year wrong as well, but I was thinking of the 2005-2006 season- similarities include a massive end-of-October storm followed by extreme warmth through December. Don't remember what...
Thanks- we ended up going with Google Sites- which is working out pretty well. Took some initial setup but operates like Groups used to.
So we've had a ski house in the valley for the last 5-6 years and have been using google groups to keep tabs on things- who is up when, phone numbers, other discussions, etc.
It looks like over...
Great- thanks! Just wanted to make sure the whole route was back open.
Sorry to beat a dead horse- but we are driving up from Boston tomorrow night via I-89 for Siptemberfest. What is the recommended route?
Thanks!
Sorry to hear about all the devastation up there. It's amazing how the storm's last stop in the US was one of the worst. Good luck to all you year-rounders with cleanup and getting things ready for...
very sad. thoughts and prayers to the Hawks family.
so what's the good word? how much so far? still snowing? road conditions?
Going to be a slow drive up from Boston tonight! Safe travels everyone.
I'm guessing Valley House? Seems a number of chairs are broken, for lack of a better term. Some had cones on them where the slats were missing- others, orange tape around the bar. I was actually...
another vote for Mad Taco- delicious and great staff.
so how will this affect/help the MRV- doesn't appear we will be anywhere near the eastern portion of the storm?
pictures- now that's more like it! Looks like I may be taking a mid-week trip to Maine.
so what are we talking here? How much snow and when?
Not looking particularly great- but I think some wet snow on both ends will help build the base that is currently lacking.

Just another word of warning- Roxbury Gap can be an adventurous route even with 4wd. Also much easier to get lost in the dark vs. exit 9-100. I always send first-time visitors to exit 9.
That...
I overheard a new pub will be opening in the old Phoenix location? Is that right? Any detail on it, opening date, etc?
Thanks for chiming in Eric- I'll definitely bring him by for a day to take advantage.
That is generous- I will double check this weekend when I am picking up passes.
