I was up in the middle of the night last night and was counting through the SB trails in my head (my version of counting sheep) and I started thinking about wind hold at LP/ME. I don't know much about wind hold so I thought it might be an interesting topic to discuss.

What are the factors that put a lift into wind hold?

Does it matter if it's a double/triple or quad?
Does the age of the lift have anything to do with it?
Does the exposure to a certain direction at either mountain determine the likelyhood of wind hold?

What are the wind hold statistics on Super Bravo, Gatehouse, Heaven's Gate at LP?
What are the statistics for Green Mountain, Inverness, Northridge and Summit at ME?



Do most people know the way up top when Super Bravo is on wind hold? Valley Double across traverse to Heaven's Gate?
Same over at ME - Inverness to Northridge Express trail to Northridge Quad

What's the wind speed and direction that will put each lift on wind hold?

Super Bravo
Gatehouse Express
Heaven's Gate
Green Mountain
Inverness
Northridge
Summit

What other factors? Temperature, humidity have anything to do with it? Is there a certain time of day when wind hold is most likely? Are there more wind holds in a certain month?

Appreciate an education from those in the know!
