While not at Irene levels, lots of flooding in VT the last few days. I saw this pictured posted this morning on FB by one of my friends who is a member of a VT 1st responders page. Right at the base of the Okemo Access Rd with route 100 somewhere underneath all that debris! Similar photos...

Stuart Winchester of the Storm Skiing podcast, just reported that the preliminary numbers just released at the going on right now National Ski Areas Association annual meeting showed over 64.7 million skier/rider visits which is roughly a 6.6% increase over last years busiest ever ski season...

First Saturday in 22 weeks that I have been at home in my house in CT and not in VT and skiing. Had this weekend and the next 2 weekends stuff that won't let me get to VT and ski. 100% miss it, even after a 65 day ski season, and a bunch of my Mount Snow regular ski friends are the same way in...

So I was lucky enough a few months ago to block myself out of work for this week... Due to a multitude of factors, my plans to travel with various members of my family to places on multiple continents and of warm and snowy locations fell through, so my wife and I took a semi "stay cation" to our...

Just curious as to what the ramifications may end up being if the reported looming Diesel fuel supply shortage really pans out and what it may mean for the ski industry this season? Most snowcats run on diesel. The back up motors for lifts are diesel. So many of the portable air compressors...

Not sure if this is or isn't worthy of a new thread or just continue in the Vail sucks thread (although IMHO this doesn't suck), but all Vail Resorts will have a limited number of day tickets they will sell this year at their properties. Not sure what that limit is (don't think at my home hill...

Jay bought by the group that owns Ragged per Stuart Winchester

If you thought it was busy this year, you were correct. https://nsaa.org/webdocs/media_public/press/2021-22/2022_May_SkierVisits.pdf The first time ever skier/rider visits tracked by the NSAA hit 61 million for the season!

Any reccomendations from the North Conway regulars for a shop that does GOOD race tunes/grinds? My oldest kid is racing at Attitash next Thursday - Sunday in the Eastern Highschool Championships, and I know from her 1st trip to these Championships just prior to when COVID shut everything down...

Not Northeast related, but WOW as a mtn ops self professed geek, these new lifts look amazing! Since Boyne has debuted the new tech from Doppelmayr at Big Sky, wondering if we'll see more new lift installations than they've already announced/done at/for their Eastern properties in the coming...

Well this doesn't look good for the Amex lift! A pic from the IKON passholders FB group posted this morning! For Stratton's sake hopefully it's not much more than a seized wheel in the mechanism that slows or speeds up the chairs to/from the haul rope as they enter/leave the base terminal...

This story is so messed up on way too many sick levels with mentions of various Central VT skiing and dining establishments that I am sure they wish were never included in the story! https://www.foxnews.com/us/longtime-cnn-producer-john-griffin-offered-a-woman-30k-for

If I am not mistaken, this is the first time in almost 2 years that there isn't a thread on page 1 of this forum with/about Covid in it's title! Let's hope that continues!!!!

Reading reports online from numerous people in the ski coaching/ski tuning world, than Ron LeMaster, a legendary ski racing coach and tuning guru, was killed while skiing at Eldora, CO yesterday after a collision with a snowboarder (not sure based on what I have read online who ran into who and...

If anyone wants to find a reason to feel greatful on Thanksgiving, just please go to Killingtonzone and read the fentanyl laced Marijuana thread..... I met that family years ago and appreciated their commitment to their kids development in the ski world. Their kids went the bumper/freestyle...

Just putting an FYI out to this group. The social media feeds run by skiology Matt (who isn't by degree a meteorologist- but I will admit does a weather analysis on par with most average pay for info ski weather sites) isn't a ski resort insider, regardless of the insinuations he makes. So do...
