It was an absolute nightmare. Crowds were insane and a lot of them were people who were just assholes and could not have cared less about anyone other than themselves. Not a great day really, but made the best of it.

killington yesterday pretty great. no lines. lots of snow in the woods. almost everything open. tons of snow in anarchy.

pico today not as good but still plenty of snow to play with. tried poma line and the woods beyond poma line. poma line needed more snow but that is an ass puckerer of a line. love it.

10. January 9th - Jay Peak - Woods were fantastic. But an absolutely bull shit wind hold, we hiked up, never experienced a wind of 10 knots all day. Today was the last straw, I will never be returning to Jay. The snow report at 6am hinted they wouldn't be spinning upper mountain lifts as the tram would be "delayed in the morning for maintenance" and "groomers reported 35 mph winds over night". Then 8am Flyer closed for the day due to "high winds". Tram started spinning unloaded around 1:30 and we saw it make multiple trips up and back in spite of the "high winds".

I do believe there are times when they are legitimate, but today was not it. Many people on the hill were complaining. No reason for it what so ever. I hope whoever buys Jay cans the assholes who make these decisions. Seven hours in a car for the Bonnie and Jet. Thanks!
