What was this all about in the morning snow report?
Lifts will start opening at 10:15 AM this morning, as Green Mountain Power has asked Sugarbush to curtail electric power usage from 7AM to 10AM. Super Bravo, Gate House and Green Mountain Express will be the first lifts to open. Super Bravo and GMX will run until 5:00 PM today.

Trouble with you is the trouble with me,
Got two good eyes but we still don’t see!
I heard the gerbils they have running the generators went on strike.
Happens quite a bit during snowmaking season, especially on those really cold days when usage is high. That's why sometimes early in January it'll be cold but the guns will be offline. We did have a curtailment day a few years back and had to run some lifts on diesel during the 10-2 timeframe. Today, we just had to keep everything off until after 10am.
They have a mandatory monthly curtailment and has to be done at peak times. In the winter that is usually after 5pm and requires us to pull down snowmaking for a few hours. Last spring it was in the afternoon but this year peak was determined to be in the AM.
