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.

I think the Willoughby coming down was a bit of a last minute decision. I'm sure the website will get updated at some point. I would think "1 of 5" lifts looks better on the report than "1 of 6". This year they will actually be able to hit 100% of lifts open once the Willoughby quad is removed from the lift total.

Maybe meaning it would look better during the season to have it say 5 of 5 lifts open and not 5 of 6 lifts.

Or 20% of lifts open is better than 16.7%.

While I am nostalgic, I'm actually not sad to see the lift go. It was INSANELY annoying to see the lift sitting idle while the Mid-Burke Express was down for mechanical reasons. If they were truly not going to use it, best to remove it.

Yes, this is what I was getting at.
Agreed. And if they plan to eventually reuse it in East Bowl or sell it, they might as well get it down and minimize weathering to preserve some of its value.

I got a pair of Burke passes waiting to be used this season.
Looks like that last storm helped them out big time. I'll wait a few more weeks for the woods to fill in.
Nice straight drive up 91 for me. By nice I mean boring. Load up 3 albums and by the time it's done you're there.

Well, if history plays any role, I'd say get up there soon. In my life I can remember only a couple winters where we did not have a melt down right before Christmas. Maybe this is like 2007-2008 in that there was no meltdown and Christmas was AWESOME.

We're all hoping for zero thaws this season, but hopefully Burke will be on track for all-open trees for early January or sooner.
Otherwise I might as well go to a lot closer places.

single chair weather blog is hinting at a xmas thaw, but i am not seeing it yet. the gfs shows a brief period of r**n on 12/20, with snow on the backside, and then again on the 23rd and again with backside snow, and then only snow thru new years eve. let's hope it holds!

It rains or thaws heavy almost every x-mas week.I know some have to take it off with the kids but its the last week I'd ever do along with pre x-mas.
