Totally agree with the competition comment. Tough to charge $200/day for a small mountain.i understand the unifying appeal especially when they need to answer the size of killington and stowe
ive rode it a few times, but im usually not bored at LP or ME and rarely feel a need to ski both in one day.
That doesn't surprise me at all. It has all the base area stuffOne fact that always surprised me was Win's stat as to how 2/3 of the skier traffic never left LP.
Even if you could cut those trails, what you are talking about would be impossible with out uphill hiking.Looking at OpenSkiMap, it ought to be possible to cut a trail from the top of North Lynx around the basin and connect into Lower FIS, and another trail from the top of ME to the top of North Lynx, and then you have a much more usable connection with not much more environmental impact.
I was wondering that. You go up and down at least twice on the lift.Even if you could cut those trails, what you are talking about would be impossible with out uphill hiking.
If I was a tourist & the trail map & marketing material indicted the 2 mountains are interconnected with a chairlift and I just paid $175, showed up & was told I need to ride the bus i would be a little let down. Perhaps they don't publish that the mountains are interconnected. Sure many options along the way to get a better deal, but some are still paying full price.Just my opinion but why have Slide Brook at all? I can't see how its use is worth the expense to run it. Correct me if I'm wrong but they have shuttle busses running between bases (and p/u and dropping off at stops along the way). I guess I'm just not a fan of transfer lifts. Wouldn't want to see it at K-Pico either. Have never felt inconvenienced by having separate ski complex's be it Sugarbush, Killington or places out west like Aspen.
totally agree but that being said the ides of March has been a sweet spot for big stormsI'd like to see some run to run consistency plus support from multiple models before I get excited.
A couple days ago several runs of the GFS showed a massive nor-easter for this Sunday (which had support from no one else and subsequently disappeared in more recent runs).
Not possible without up hill.I was wondering that. You go up and down at least twice on the lift.
