    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    The park was great last weekend. Decent size step down jump, a few technical rails, a sweet mini-pipe with jibs on the lips and some fun hips. Good work Sugarbush parks!

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    I would second this response. Being a Mount Snow rider since 2004, I have seen the growth of Carinthia parks from the bottom up. Its success has been based upon the ridership that freestyle members of the community bring to it. You can usually hear the typical responses from park riders...

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    I was there Saturday, unfortunately the rain and abrupt drop in temperatures allowed for the sketchiest riding I have ever done. Imagine a skating rink on a hill. Because of that, anything ungroomed was closed.

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    Plenty of resorts have closed with lots of snow. In Vermont for example Stowe, Bolton, Magic, Stratton, MRG. I was at both Bolton and Stowe last weekend for their closing weekends. No patches of dirt to be found. Could be a little different based on the non-frozen this week, but another 4+...

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    When you have greater than 30 days at the mountain and have the 20s pass, I wouldn't say there's much to be made. Doing the math, it's $14/day equivalent.

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    My question would be how many people riding these days have season passes? If >50%, that's little money being made to pay workers, facilities, and energy. Also way less people coming up with spring sports started or the backyard effect. I still ride, but only at mountains I have season passes...

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    FBGM is a troll, I have blocked from seeing any of their posts. Also having FBGM as a Alpine Zone log in is not entirely appropriate. Maybe if this was Barstool Sports it would be okay. I have yet to see anything coming from them as constructive to this forum.

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    Yard Sale was a lot of fun Sunday. Sunbrook was also a blast Saturday, as no one was over there. Monday was absolutely wide open with some of the best riding I have done with non-fresh snow. I set a personal PR from top to bottom main face in 3.5 minutes Monday.

    The "Sugarbush Thread"

    I remember a few years ago being at the top of the Green Mountain Express at about 4:15 PM with about 30 other freestyle riders waiting for the lift to officially stop spinning. Once the lift stopped, everyone laid down on their chest or side (snowboard vs ski), a countdown commences, and when...

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    The equipment for Minus Zero is up. It was cool watching thewebcam progress from about 6:30 AM to around 10 AM when the tractor trailor moved in to hide the view of the main base area.

    That was last weekend.

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    Mount Snow: I see that there is netting up at the base area between the Grand Summit Express and the Bluebird, and an excavator digging. Any input as for what they're doing?

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    I can only imagine going to the bottom of the North Face with no lifts. Guess I would take the snowmobile/maintenance trail that brings you to Sundance. Sunbrook would also be rough, but a short hike up Beartrap hurt nobody.

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    Ah yes. I was thinking $17 on the 17th, but it's $17 on the 16th. What a madhouse a Saturday would be for $17.

    I would definitely say second weekend of April. And then maybe do weekend operations only through the rest of the month.

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    And there's potential at the moment for another big storm next week. With the cold and snow together, it's going to be a great late March into Spring April.

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    The $17 deal tomorrow is sure to intrigue the masses to come shred. I'd say the best $17 one could spend this winter. DrJeff, I would love to see what the walkway outside of the Timber Creek condo looks like this weekend!

    Mount Snow: Inside Track

    Rode Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Went from pure ice Saturday, to a good layer of powder Sunday, to spring powder yesterday. On Sunday I was riding some natural snow trails, such as Pat's Pitch. It was very fun, but very sketchy in some locations. I had to ollie over some exposed rocks, but...
