Apparently Pico can't groom trails, run lifts and snowmaking all at the same time. Sounds like Killington is stealing their snowmaking crew.

Skied Pats peak this morning. I was originally going to either pico or Bolton. Glad I stayed at the home Mtn. Hit 2nd chair, Soft groomers to start then it was hardening up when I left at 12:30. Fun morning with the groomer skis.
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but a realist, but the forecast for next week is horrendous as well. Monday and Tuesday are cold without precipitation, then you might want to hit the snooze button until roughly January 25th.
After next weekend it looks like at the very least we'll be starting from square one on many lower elevation trails that don't have a snowmaking base... :-(

Perhaps I will run into you this time at Magic? I will be in the trails regardless and then figuring out all the different trails to the bar.

Next weekend looks pretty darn nice to me, sunny mid-30s after a few days of similar temps. I'm thinking nice loose granular conditions.
Keeping an eye on it I might pull the trigger on a weekend at Jay Peak or Stowe if the forecast holds.

One thing is for sure this winter, no 7+ day forecast holds. Sunny and 30's?

7 hours after temps fell below freezing and Pico is still rolling out the hoses. I don't think they have made any snow yet today.
No staff and no water in the ponds.

Skied SR today. Not good. Only 2-3 lower lifts spinning. A lot of people we already walking back to their cars and leaving when we got there at 10AM. Very little open and what was was icy. Wildfire was about the only run that you could ski that had some carvable snow on it. I lapped it 5 times just because there wasn't much else worth skiing. Hope the groomers can do something with this.

Is every other post you make complaining about Pico?
I'm probably the last person who will ever stand up for K but this year they have had a massive shortage of employees and are seriously understaffed. It was all recently discussed on KZ, they are advertising in Albany and Burlington to try to find potential employees. Early in the year they couldn't find enough snow-makers, then there were issues with ticket window staffing over the holidays. Hell, upper management was helping load/unload K1 over Christmas/New Year's! Shops and restaurants all over the access road are having the same problems with finding new employees.
They just lost 60 trails overnight, had a massive freeze going into a holiday weekend, and right now all they are doing is resurfacing OL, SS and high traffic areas, I think that should tell you something.
