They've been lax about updating the report lately (and even mention they don't plan to update it often) so possible it just wasn't updated earlier today when I looked. (Also a super odd decision to point blank announce they're not updating the report much. Is this something that really is that...

LOL. Either one hell of a first post or a really odd AI bot! I once rode a chair with someone (that I didn't know) that peed off the side of the chair. (It was during the Stein's Challenge and the person didn't want to lose any time!)

Looks like they plan on giving Stein's a reset tonight (or at least I'm fairly certain that symbol wasn't there earlier today):

Yea...I'm glad I did the Stowe zipline a number of years back, but not sure I could convince myself to do one again after that incident.

Keep in mind they were closed the past 2 days, so they haven't done any work on the snow surface since Monday night. It is amazing how crappy it can look at the end of one day and then how much better it looks after the groomers work their magic the next.

Simple...they're likely analyzing sales to determine when is the best time to "push" people into purchasing (plus analyzing data to determine how much to increase the price). Vail loves data analytics. This doesn't surprise me one bit.

They've been using one of their winch cats every night they've been grooming lately. I don't know if they've actually been using the winch itself, but I doubt there's any cost difference on whether the winch itself is used or not. This is just a a decision where they didn't want to groom Steins...

Stein's on Saturday...

I had fun today sticking to the trails that were groomed last night, although it was definitely colder and cloudier than I expected today. The bumps were nice and soft yesterday though. Those bumps on Steins are getting pretty big. I wouldn't mind a reset before next weekend on that one.

Are they seeing an increase in people though? This thread was just discussing how K has less people than usual this spring. And for Ikon holders K would be one of the alternate options to Sugarbush...

There have been other years that HG was closed by now and there were still more crowds those years... I've seen more crowds when they've been down to just Stein's and Spring Fling off Valley House other years.

Sugarbush has been pretty dead this spring since the eclipse weekend. Really seems to be less people this spring than usual. Sure we haven't had "perfect" warm and sunny weekend days, but the spring skiing has still been quite good. Don't know if it is the weather or something else.

LOL. I was selected as well!

Wed/Thurs this coming week.

Agreed. I can't see expansion being even seriously discussed until a lot of other priorities happen first.
