Loading as of 9:16, but for how long? Who wants to guess?
Glad we are out of town [NYC] till Tuesday.
So we are now using artificial rain on the hill, to make an ice track for the Germans.
Bravo is spinning but not loading as of 9:10

Pretty sad even though my ski partners and I have joked for years about marketing a NRX self evac kit. In addition to the kit we may start selling stickers with the new slogan "Sugarbush - which lifts are running?" "Mount Ellen - skin it, you'll probably have to".
Best quote came from a friend who recently moved back to VT and chose a Killington pass over sugarbush. "Sugarbush, when it's good it may be the best terrain in the state. When it's bad, the saving grace is that Mad River Glen is worse."
And it's down! 10:39 one hour 7 minutes
looks like its running on the webcam
Running yes...open NO......Nice line on the Gate House>>>>

*** Sunny D and Super Bravo chairs are on maintenance delay. Valley House is open. ***
This is not true, got a call from a friend on the hill and she just said "valley house is NOT running"
Hey the waffle house is open though. Having Bravo broke should help their business out. At least one can see an open flag when looking at the gatehouse line. Does not look like anyone hiking to VH lift.
Yesterday, the problem with Bravo, as explained to me, was that the chairs were getting to close together. They ran it for a while but could not ultimately get it to work properly. The crowds were minimal so the lines were not a problem. There were many complaints in the lines and general sense of frustration. The good news was that there was some sweet powder on Murphy's, upper Birdland and Domino until the afternoon when Bravo ran for a while. Another inconvenience was that the Valley Lodge was not serving food. Thus, you had to go down to gatehouse and then hike back up to the Valley House to get on the lift. I get that skiing is a sport and that a certain amount of effort is to be expected. However, it is pain with kids in tow (powder flu hit the entire household) and not optimal in terms of customer experience and expectation. Anyway, I hope Bravo is in working order tomorrow or it will be a mess.
As for conditions, the woods looked tempting and some were venturing in. I did not because my skis took a beating on some of the natural trails (alpine options loves me this year). How are things in the woods?
Any word on the status of Slidebrook Lift?
Went in XT woods on Weds pm toward the end of the storm. While really nice to be there first time this year and some good areas at that time which looked great, there were many hidden obstacles and my base and edges took some damage. Bravo woods were even less covered and definitely not ready for a crowd.
