Late 60's and 70's that is what we wore. Ski pants were for older people. Lots of good memories of the quad, time marches on.

So after 632 pages we finally get to the real "big Burke announcement" - You are going to grace the NEK with a visit. The excitement up there must be palpable. I hope I am in town so I don't miss the parade. Context is context you said nobody will work for Q but as BWD noted people indeed do at...

Hey maybe I have not hit it when it is really busy or it is my perception of busy. I was up there for a Motorcycle thing in late August years ago and that weekend it was busy for sure. Other than that I have stopped in on my way north in mid June, once in July and Labor Day and was just...

I don't think anyone would argue that. With the doom and gloom tone of this thread though it is nice to hear that seasonal winter rentals are strong. Have to start somewhere. Granted the supply of rentals available are limited but hey I'll take it. Lots of moutain bikers in E. Burke today. Not...

I would agree as I have also heard that the winter seasonal rental market is very good and units are already spoken for. Locals have little reason to rent at the moutain so it follows that the demand is coming from farther afield.

I know one of the Powderhorn units that sold at auction went for several thousand more than the mountain was asking for it the previous season. Go figure.

Of course you weren't. Your posts frequently speak of you being a local, what you heard on the street, how everyone in Burke feels about things and what you know to be true from your sources. BUT you need to post on an internet board to find out if Burke has made snow in the past few weeks...

So you are just trolling.

In my case the reason I drive by more southern areas is that I live in a summer resort community. My main criteria in a choice of ski area was to not wait in a lift line with the same people I have to deal with all summer. Also the southern Vt. areas are almost the same drive time for me. Burke...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. I don't recall that period as particularly a high point in Burke snowmaking. As a matter of fact I can't remember any high point. It has always been lackluster during our time there. When Ginn brought in the new guns I was hopeful but having guns and...

I am certainly not up here all the time but I can say that I have never seen anthing close to 60 guns going at the same time. Ever. Not doubting that the management at that point was telling people that they could run 60 guns though. Just never seen it.

Yeah and race days are already a zoo. When the new hotel is finished and midburke gone where do you think they will put the racers? Yurt time maybe? This season as the lift line appears to have been moved to the other side of the lift will the route to the lift from the east side be on the east...

Yep read that here a while back, heard it once over the weekend. Then heard he was still there twice this weekend. :dontknow: Heard lots of other stuff too without asking about any of it. The town is just abuzz with different versions of what is going on.

I was up this past weekend and I heard from two different people that the gentleman from Fastenal (sp?) is still the GM and his wife is sill there too. Take it for it is worth, just local gossip. I have no idea what the truth of the matter is. I did find the quote in the paper about eventually...

I have seen Christmas be really good and other times watched the grass grow. More often the latter. I think I would wait. Presidents week was very busy last year so avoid that if you can, conditions were excellent though. Also keep in mind it was crowded for Burke so crowded is a relative term...

I you are in the area and curious try it yourself and then judge. Yeah there are issues but I had a real nice season there last year. Don't base your entire opinion of Burke on this thread. By and large the thread is kept going by a small number participants, with some valid points I might add...

+ about a 100 :thumbup:

From the picture it appears that the line will be on more level ground on that side. The left side kind of sucked when the mountain was crowded as the line was on a downhill pitch. Now they just need to tweak the offloading area at the top, that could use some more room too.
