Alright, since I've already posted a few long winded replies, I'll introduce myself...
I met Lostone on the lift on 12/22 (the day Castlerock opened for the season... man was it deep). As I told him, I work up here at the resort - specifically in a certain administrative department. My presence is in no way an official Sugarbush presence, although I can probably answer any official questions you guys/gals may have more officially than anyone else. When I get ticked off and fly off the handle on someone, please forget about what I just said regarding being an employee of the resort.
My background is in recreation management and events planning. Specifically, I've run a mountain biking school for kids in Montana for the past 3 summers, while also coordinating the events and trail crew for a ski resort (
www.big-mountain.com). During the winters I've worked for that same resort, running ski races, doing marketing work, and coordinating on-mountain events.
I grew up in New England and have skied at the Bush since 99. I live in Waitsfield and stare out my (landlord's) window at Mad River every morning. I've skied 100+ days every season since 98/99, and have skied during every month of the calendar year 2005. I can say confidently that Sugarbush has as much to offer a skier as any resort in the Rocky Mountains. We have true big-mountain skiing (you might have to work for it) in an East Coast setting and that is truly unique. It's exciting to be back on the East Coast.
Think snow!
