    Eclipse PSA

    I'm not going to address the weather, which we can't control but wanted to go over some tips for the eclipse. 1) Close doesn't count for an eclipse. 90% or even 99% coverage is not good enough. If you are traveling to the eclipse you need to be in 100% totality, anything else is a waste of...

    What Are These Things At Stratton?

    Anybody know what these are? There is one at Sun Bowl and one at Mid Mountain. I’ve never seen them being used. Wrong answers only, obviously.

    Stratton Gondola, WTF?

    What the hell is wrong with the gondola at Stratton? Is it really that slow by design or is this some undercover energy saving measure? I've noticed this for many years but I've had enough. I was on Ursa this morning and I felt like I was on cruise control going up a hill when everyone else...

    Jackson Hole Access

    We are headed to Jackson Hole next week with a family of four. Staying at Spring Creek Ranch (close to town but with no bus) with a rental car. This was kind of a last minute trip after we cancelled a trip to Canada. Any suggestions on how we should go to/from the mountain if not everyone...

    Big Ben Stratton

    Cutting back to Sunbowl yesterday the only trail option was Big Ben. What's the deal with this trail? Is this an old learning area that no longer has a lift? The trail seems massive in width, with lots of snowmaking but it's hard for beginners to even get there.

    IKON - Adventure Assurance - Due by October 1

    What is everyone picking for their Adventure Assurance on the IKON Pass? I was thinking of picking Stratton as that is generally my home/closest mountain, but would I likely get a better payout by choosing all destinations? I have to imagine at least one resort will close for some amount of...

    Who Has Bought Their 20/21 Pass Already?

    Just wondering who has purchased their season pass (or multi pass) for next season already? If you have not, would you have purchased it by this point last season? Maybe not date specific, but by the first price increase date. I have NOT purchased my Ikon Pass yet and last year I had already...

    Stratton Webcam

    Check out the mid mountain cam. It looks like they already plowed out the snow to open a road up the mountain. Any idea what they are working on or why they would need the road so soon?

    Zermatt Is Closed - Does Ikon Address

    I'm sure there is something in the fine print but Zermatt is now closed until at least April 30th. How does that work if you bought an Ikon Pass with the intention of using to ski in Zermatt (say, over spring break). Kind of hypothetical since I'm sure most people already cancelled their trips...

    Revelstoke 2/16-2/22

    We skied Revelstoke for 7 days from Sunday the 16th through Saturday the 22nd. Had quite a bit of fresh snow Sunday that lasted in the trees until Monday/Tuesday. Still plenty of soft snow around Wednesday and Thursday but definitely hit more groomers those days. I did some side country...

    Stevens Pass 7th Heaven Lift

    Lift tower snapped today, roping everyone off the lift. Rest of the lift remained intact so hopefully no injuries. Edit: Check Twitter post from @ckindel Looks like the rollers on the tower broke and made a tangled mess. Could take all day to get everyone down.

    Jackson Hole Christmas Week

    Heading to JH on Christmas day and flying home on New Year's day.. Planning to ski most days but also want to do some sightseeing. Assuming it's not snowing what will be the best days to not ski? Will Saturday and Sunday be the most crowded? Or will it be pretty equal? Assuming lots of people...

    Superstar Chair 24/7

    Is Superstar chair running 24/7? Every time I look at the webcam (first light, middle of the day, evening) the chair is spinning. This started a few weeks ago. I noticed this last year before the World Cup too. I wonder if it is a reliability issue in that any issues would be discovered...

    Jackson Hole - Airport Transfer

    I'm skiing in Jackson Hole this weekend and flying out Sunday afternoon at 130pm. We are staying in downtown Jackson and i'm thinking about skiing Sunday for a few hours before my flight. Is this doable and what are the best options for getting to the airport? Should I leave my bag at the...

    VT 103 Accident Near Ludlow

    Anybody know what happened on 103 south of Ludlow today around noon? Kids threw in the towel around 11 at Pico and we headed out. Made it through Ludlow and were just about to drop into the Gulf when all the cars stopped. Cars in front of us started turning around and as soon as we heard...

    Weekend - 12/22-23

    Was hoping to use some Ikon days this weekend. Sugarbush Saturday and Killington Sunday. Rain totals for Friday keep going up and starting to think about bagging it. I assume Saturday will still be wet but skiing okay...but down to just the snowmaking trails. I assume Sunday will be major...
