Hey everyone, I haven't posted here in a LONG time, but I figured I'd share a few photos I took of the eclipse. Totality is was incredible. I was in Newport, VT looking across at Jay Peak (under the bottom "sun" in wide angle composite photo). Yes, the little red things sticking out were large...

It will ALL be rain everywhere! Keep the water skis and bikes out of the attic.

I don't know, I only ski backcountry these days. Lots of hacking my way through thick brush. :razz: Honestly though, many on map glades have been that way for the better part of a decade (or two) now. They have been manicured to perfection as there are barely any stray branches or saplings to...

Hoping for some mountaintop dustings of snow for some rare snowliage photography :)

Nick... For real though, thanks for keeping the lights on! :thumbup:

The avalanche was in an area that is not often skied and the guy was alone. Very likely that no one saw it happen and when someone noticed the debris field (with potentially some equipment mixed in) they knew they had to start searching.

And congratulations are in order for Steve Wright on his new position and new citizenship in Canada!

That has nothing to do with it. This here is SERIOUS BUSINESS! :lol:

After all of the speculation surrounding the fate of my two favorite resorts, a deal has finally been worked out! https://vtskiandride.com/jay-peak-and-burke-sold-to-quebec/ This is definitely a direction I did not see this going. But c'est la vie!

East Bowl or West Bowl would be candidates but would require massive overhauls which would likely make a new lift more cost effective. If Burke were to keep the Willoughby Quad, this would be my vision of how it would be used: It could be shortened to the bottom of Fox's Folly and used to...

Portions of the wide open trails (e.g. Upper Warrens Way) were the wind could get to the surface were wind packed or scoured to the base snow. The top of the T-Bar was sporting a 8' drift that the poor lift attendants spent two hours shoveling out. The wind wasn't strong enough to penetrate the...

Burke got slammed by last week's Nor'Easter. 31" of progressively lighter powder. Arrived for chair opening and got 3 really good runs before the "crowds" arrived. Longest line at the Mid-Burke Express was about 8 minutes (between 10:00 and 11:00). After 1:00 it was ski on. Throbulator: TD-0125...

Nice! Have fun tomorrow. Sent from my HTC6545LVW using AlpineZone mobile app

Thanks!

Yes the fire tower is easy access from the top of the lift. Beautiful 360 degree views from up there on a clear day. Footing on the steps can be slippery so make sure you keep a good hold on the railings.

WJenness messaged me that he and a friend were heading up to ski Burke on Saturday in order to get away from the crowds in NH. I let him know that he provided a great excuse for me to get out on the slopes for the first time this year :oops:. Snow throughout the previous week had set up nicely...

The winter season sounds to be the big loser for Burke right now. It would be interesting to hear what the summer revenue is. It seems to me that the mountain has been quite busy this summer thanks to MTBers and some large conferences. Additionally summer expenses are lower (no heating...

Checking Burke's website, they could probably make it just a little easier to find out about weddings at the mountain. I had to back out of the site and then Google it. And then the page for it is pretty underwhelming.
