Off to St Anton for a tons of ridiculousness. Austrians are know for three things. Music, Skiing and serious Apre. We plan to thoroughly indulge in all three. Hope everybody has a fun Warm week.
See you next month.
Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but we still don’t see!
IMO, a gondola to replace Slide Brook is a waste of money. Never mind the fact that the Slide Brook chair isn't exactly old and should have plenty of years left on it.
Get rid of 1/2 the chairs and replace with cars or bubble chairs.
Anyone know what the skier visits were for Saturday and Sunday at SB. K is saying they had just over 17,500 skiers on Saturday. I was wondering if Sugarbush had over 9k on Saturday. Saturday seemed a lot busier than Christmas week of MLK weekend. Didn't even bother with Sunday.
I believe Saturday came in over 9k. Base area corrals were pretty full. Bravo was running at a reduced speed on Saturday due to the wind but was back up to full speed on Sunday. Sunday was a little less busy, still in the low 9k range, but most took advantage of the sun and later grooming on the Gate House side.
I can't even imagine 17k!
Regardless, good for the mountain, good for the Valley, good for the state!

So what's up with North Ridge? Anyone know what happened?
The motor blew up on Monday. We shipped it out to Springfield, MA for repair and waiting to hear if it can be repaired or we need to buy a new one. Very frustrating as this was rebuilt two years ago and only had 1,500 of run time.one. It should have latest 10,000 hours. We should know more today..
Any chance for snowmaking to freshen things up this weekend?
I see Stowe is turning on the guns and so is Killington.,.
Sometimes peer pressure works
Quite honestly, I wish the mountain would rethink its snow making schedule. Given the past 3 out of 4 seasons - to me it makes sense to blow some snow in a lean February/March like we have this year. Just like Mortimer said - turn those machines on!!!
If the season is going to be over at the end of March, I may need to rethink my seasons pass purchase in the future.
I know turning the guns on may not make sense right now from a financial perspective, but if there is any money left in the budget, would be nice to see a refresh.
It's funny, I remember skiing into late April every year, now it's nice if we can make it through March.
