What an explosive story on Jay Peak and Q-Burke.
So many questions.... can't wait for Win and WinJrs take.
i) I wonder if the details of the states case will show that Q-Burke was a wing and...
Ugh, these rules, many of limited value, seem unending....which is no surprise really ...
A restored and expanded wunderbar could allow the cr pub to be used as more of an extension of the lodge. ...
Sweet. Looks like its really bombing out. Heavy wet base snow - perfect to get the mtn open in a big way. Long term forecast has trended cooler too. Nice.
6k GPM is pretty good capacity, more than I thought. What I always forget is that a good portion of that capacity is at ME where you have no plans (rightfully so) to open before mid December. ...
Killington can run at 12k gallons per minute, Okemo 8 to 9k. I'd be very surprised if the Bush has more than 6k of uphill capacity at the combined sum of both Mt Ellen and Lincoln. And so, given...
Dude, are you serious in calling out Okemo's snow coverage in the trail count game?
Switching topics. Best set of webcams in the ski business?:...
I love the bush, but meanwhile down in the slightly warmer climate of Ludlow, Okemo (the snow kings) has 259 acres open with six lift pods. Jackson Gore opened today. That's damn impressive.
So does that mean there are two ways down, downspout and domino chute/lower grinder? Seems to be the case, but from I have seen they aren't clear about it. $73 is steep for one or two runs.
Looks like they haven't been blowing on grinder. It will be kind of shocking if with this remarkable batch of cold weather they can't get T2B on jester/downspout/lower jester/coffee run and grinder...
the forecast has been trending a bit colder. tomorrow and tomorrow night could be decent snowmaking weather and looking at earlier next week the coldest weather yet should be arriving.
...
Hey Win, time to turn on all those beautiful webcams. I see its snowing at the base this afternoon (thank you main base cam), sure would be fun to see elsewhere around the mountain. And it would be...
First of all, great to be talking about the mtn again rather than collecting ZZZZZs.
Three part thought and yes, I admit upfront this is a bit of a tall order.
Part 1: To provide a little...
the units are beautiful. i think the slow sales is indicative of the weak economy and the evolving demographics of the northeast.
Good point about families - although, again I find the lodging quality/price relationship so out of whack it can quickly even this up - particularly in the winter - but less so in the summer. ...
While Win has no control over this, another reality is that the overall economy in the Northeast remains rather weak.
There is also the value problem, if you catch the right airfair - a trip to...
thanks, I really appreciate the update
Well, that morning of fustration is over. Seems to be working now at Sugarbush and Okemo.
I'm having trouble viewing the Sugarbush webcam. Same for Kton and Okemo. Conspiracy?!? :)
Nice snow gun analysis Howie; GPM absolutely matters. I don’t know the particulars, but I believe Okemo can operate at something closer to 8k to 10k GPM. Its a sure bet Kton, Stowe, Stratton and...
Yeah - me too - I feel like a handful of fan jets at the wide high traffic areas like downspout - around the HG chair and lower snowball/base area would be a helpful boost to early season start up...
If you want asnwers on LIPA, contact Cuomo and the state Senate and Legislature for answers. LIPA is a non-profit entity owned by you the tax payers of NY with management selected by the...
What a win by the Giants. They are now 4 for 5 in Super Bowls, tying Pittsburgh for the most Super Bowls wins since 1985; meanwhile the Pats have the most appearances since 1985.
Yeah sorry dude, but you got a warning which is a fair deal, particularly considering that you admitted you wre a distracted driver. Everyone knows that resort town cops prowl looking for 'out of...
Yeah, cant believe a picked all four games right. Thats a rarity.
Looking ahead, I'm afraid the Giants might get bogged down by heavy rain in the SF forecast. It will be hard for Eli to chuck...
Ahhh RopeTow, sounds like you are looking for the economists at MIT to discover a money tree.
