    Heavy Wind and Below Zero Temps - Credit Back at Stratton?

    I have not yet called, just wanted to kind of get in front of it via their policy, etc. The dads on this trip have double base layers, full flasks and are still ready to ski!!!

    Heavy Wind and Below Zero Temps - Credit Back at Stratton?

    drJeff - great question and jaytrem thanks for your answer. So it is based on the timestamp upon the guest having the ticket PRINTED at the window. Any delays by the skiier and their family coupled with a longish lift line will render that 1 hour window fairly tight!!

    Heavy Wind and Below Zero Temps - Credit Back at Stratton?

    That is great to know - really appreciate that feedback. We have many younger kids on the trip and the possibility of them tapping out early is highly likely. Smart for Stratton as it will guarantee a return trip and more $$ spent there in the future. Thanks again mbedle - stay warm!

    Heavy Wind and Below Zero Temps - Credit Back at Stratton?

    I am an IKON pass holder that has organized a group trip to Stratton this Friday and Saturday (unfortunately now due to weather). I will have multiple non pass holder families on the trip who have bought overpriced “window/website” lift tix. Needless to say, with high winds Friday and temps at...

    Does it always piss hot rain right before or on Christmas in eastern ski country or does if just seem that way?

    abc - same deal on my end, a little throttle therapy makes the horrific conditions a little less top of mind quickly!!

    Mt Snow 21-22 Season

    Krusty - bingo, I had that exact discussion while at Stratton last weekend…I fear the amount of converts to IKON for next season is going to be tremendous with obviously painful results in terms of crowds.

    Round Top VT - For Sale $7.5 million

    Dr Jeff - appreciate the reply, I believe your thinking seems spot on. Looks like a great hill for newbie/families but seems like it would be incredibly difficult from a sustainability perspective given upfront and on -going costs (insurance, utilities, staff, marketing, etc). Others have...

    Round Top VT - For Sale $7.5 million

    Read this earlier thread and thought it would be interesting to get thoughts regarding this place with a $6.5 million asking price AND skiier/family frustrations ('21/'22 EPIC debacle) at seemingly all time highs. Does this place have more appeal and/or a future in your opinions and what is the...

    K2 112 Kids Missing from Mount Snow - Advice or Assistance Welcomed

    Pauldotcom - sincere thanks for the generous offer, think we may have access to others via my family but appreciate the offer. I believe the skis were likely taken accidentally at the end of the day (as a father of 2 I know how chaotic end of day can be) but skis had unique stickers on them and...

    K2 112 Kids Missing from Mount Snow - Advice or Assistance Welcomed

    Haha - fortunately no missing kids, only kids skis!! My bad on the post title (done early morning after some local IPAs)... So the skis have not been located but a credit to the staff at Mount Snow for providing free rentals, that made this sting a little less. I will definitely be purchasing...

    K2 112 Kids Missing from Mount Snow - Advice or Assistance Welcomed

    Morning all. After a surprisingly decent day of skiing at Mount Snow (post the rain) we discovered that somebody had taken my son's 112 length red & white K2s and black Scott poles. The skiis had a Monster Energy and Vineyard Vines Sticker on them. I am hopeful that in the chaos of leaving...

    Backpacks, Bluetooth and Bad Music

    Urungus - fair point re some Dead Lyrics! Mexicali Blues could lend itself to an interesting discussion too! Lil Pump from somebody's backpack, what can you say... Kills me that I cannot ski this weekend - hope that all of you who are in the Catskills get after it when power is restored...

    Backpacks, Bluetooth and Bad Music

    Skiied at Jiminy several weeks ago and let my 11 year old ski with his friend (also 11) to give him a taste of independence. They we're both very responsible and had a great time. However, I was bummed to have to answer some complicated questions asked later in the day about lyrics they heard...

    What do you like about skiing besides skiing

    Making memories with friends and family - including time spent in the car (when not in traffic!) Knowing that we are on our way to our next adventure. Sore muscles, hot shower after, cold beers, fireplace and the feeling of having accomplished a great time for/with the family. Finally...
