Attempting an ounce of positive here....X-post from TGR.

The annual "still skiable?" I'll go for a walk & see. Bring my skis even.

West side trees still a go.

Broomstick holding strong. I did not ski it.

Skiable from the bullwheel again this year.

Hey, others are up here too. Magicsnowboard, MNIAW & friends.

The Medium glacier remains......

One more. you bet. Yours truly & DoWork. Thanks for the lift Jay

Obviously you're referring to the snowmobiles.

Haha. Take a walk this week. Medium is still in great shape. Skied right from the bullwheel to picnic table on Sunshine Corner. Many times after finding the sled crew. My arms are hanging like i pitched a double header today.

Didn't ski Magic this winter - or whatever it was. I think Dr Jeff had it right - a continuous stretch of Novembers. If ever there was justification for a mulligan. I just hope the management situation resolves itself.......

It wasn't me who made that spot on assessment of the winter being a continuous stretch of Novembers! I gotta give credit for that PERFECT assessment to whomever said it though!

This thread has been aptly named for almost 2 years now. But I think the Burke thread should be re-named "WTF is going on at Burke?"

Good lord...

At least with the water off they won't have to worry about frozen pipes.

God this keeps getting worse. Any more info?

Was shutting the water/sewer off seasonally something normal?Cant understand why one would need to do that for summer.At the very least I've never heard of shutting off the sewer.If there is no water then.....

I would guess the power was shut off. The mountain has it's own well. The sewer is a gravity system so it probably works with water running unless the mountain is so far behind paying for the service that it was plugged shut.

I have heard of them turning the power off before, but was under the impression it was a separate power supply to the lifts that wasn't needed for many months. I would expect them to need/want power for at least July/August for BLT and Timber Quest.

Or should I be cynical and speculate that its being turned off by GMP due to unpaid bills? Maybe they didn't pay their taxes either and it will go to tax sale? If only........

Why would they leave power on to something they aren't using.

Short answer: so that you can use it if needed / desired. If you want to save usage, just throw the breaker switch. Why disconnect service? How much could that really save?

JoeB-Z · Apr 4, 2016

I guess this has the implication that they are throwing in the towel on Black. They can't run it for inspection with no power and they were on some sort of deadline for the inspection.

skifasttakechances · Apr 4, 2016

Hopefully, it's more like TB and that jersey jackass are throwing in the towel and finally decided to check their ego's and sell. For the Magic faithful I hope so.

Faithful. Good one. That ship sailed

There are three power connections, or at least separate meters. One for the sign, one for the lodge and shop, one for the lifts. You would not shut them off except for non-payment. There are connection fees which out weigh the cost of any savings from having everything totally off. Sewer is a similar issue. You would keep paying the fee as the connection fees are set substantially high to discourage that sort of practice.
