I've seen pretty good compliance around Sugarbush and the people I've checked in with have been polite about it. I know a bunch of lifties from two summers ago and they've had only a couple of issues with guests. On average those that give them trou…

These really aren't ski games but on rainy days like today, my dad and other patrol buddies used to park themselves in the Broken Ski Pub at the Middle Chalet and play Cribbage and Mille Bornes for hours.

Wow--- that's strange. It's not even a double quad, it's a quad double. It looks like it was designed to use left over parts and kitbashed to make a lift.

That was quite the article! Thank you for sharing it. I noticed that they didn't mention the whole expansion of the local airport for building small planes and the window making factory or something like that.

Bolton's Timberline and Wilderness Peaks still have midstation off loads. I think Pico a long time ago had one as well right around the Birch chair area.

Our boot room is under the Mushroom (hence the Cascade sled outside). The gondola station used to be to the right of the Mushroom but was removed when they put the new Valley House in a few years ago.

Just checked the Sugarbush webcam. Heck, there are a lot of people coming down Spring Fling!

Thank you! Part of my operational plan is to hit other areas in NYS so I will add them to my list. I have multiple places to crash in E'ville and then there's hanging out with folks I grew up with, but good to know about Bristol and Swain. I did s…

Win Smith was interviewed on Vermont Digger. Here's the link to the article about his take on explaining what the ski season will look like: https://vtdigger.org/2020/12/09/skiing-vermont-covid-faq/

Well, that's cool! Now to break this COVID stuff so I can do my Route 17 thunder run-- Peek n Peek early, then Cockaigne, Holimont and then finish night skiing at Holiday Valley.

I haven't run into a Karen on the hill yet, but I know my time is coming. We'll see how that goes, probably this season the way the year's been. I haven't admitted to killing anyone though from time to time I read the obituaries and just smile.

I know everyone here will do their best to adhere to whatever guidelines are out there, not only because it's the right thing to do, but also because none of us wants to get sick, or see the ski season be lost. However, we all know that there wil…

Holy crap! My first thought was that they're asking for some things that are covered by HIPAA. I've had to go remote due to people being exposed. Our COVID response team is zealous about the privacy of those affected. I don't know what school, adul…

NWS downgraded Waitsfield a bit. Forecast snowfall amounts have been reduced. A mix of rain and snow will change to all snow this evening before tapering to snow showers and ending overnight. New snowfall amounts of 1 to 4 inches is expected, …

It's what killed Norwich's ski area. We had a few bad winters and then I heard an insane amount (50 grand or so) to be able to spin the lift. Didn't matter if we opened or not, just to have the capability to do so. At that point the Board of Trus…

I grew up in South Buffalo-- not a suburb but the actual city so I am a life long Bills fan. That being said, I know all too well how the Bills can completely and totally goatf**k hopes and dreams of fans at the drop of a snowflake. Still, it's …

One thing I noticed in the parking lot was one person brought a small area rug to use in the parking lot to boot up. Genius idea and I went out yesterday to pick one up for myself for the remainder of the season. Awesome idea! I might go one fu…

Ski_it -- there's been a few articles about the boom. Here are a couple about the interest in buying and why properties are so short in availability. The house next to mine sold for 5 grand over the asking price in little less than a week and that w…

There've been a lot of out of state plates here in Waitsfield. However, a lot of them showed up in March and never left. I see the same cars in the Shaw's parking lot over and over since we shut down-- NY, NJ, MA, CT, RI, even Texas and of course Fl…

Skitracks works fine for me. Like the data it puts out and transposes onto Google. I used the in house Sugarbush tracking for a while but since I started to move around it made more sense to go to a generic one.

I know I'm biased but that T bar looks like the Tannenbaum T-bar at Holiday Valley just past the cut off from Crystal to the Punch Bowl.

Setting aside COVID stuff for a moment, here's what the Old Farmer's Almanac is saying about this winter: ANNUAL WEATHER SUMMARY NOVEMBER 2020 TO OCTOBER 2021 Winter will be colder than normal in the north and warmer in the south, with above-no…

"Dancing with the Mountains" - John Denver He certainly knew what he was doing skiing. The double eject face plant in the powder at the end was worth it. Salomon SX92's? I think the Police are wearing old Nordicas.

Guns and hoses at Sugarbush. Hammering Inverness at MEllen, Upper Jester, Valley House Traverse, Upper Snowball and Spring Fling. Nice to see the snowmaking clouds above the ridge with the sun behind them!

Did the Red Baron ski and date models wearing plaid pantsuits?

Do they have a ski patrol? Paid or volunteer? There's no contact information on the Southern VT regional website.

I have a pair of Fatypus skis. Nice for powder.

I'm not seeing PRE skis on that list. I had a pair of 1200SP's and there's still a pair of the later versions under an outbuilding waiting patiently for conversion to "something"
