I bought a chicken Caesar salad and maple milk in the cafeteria using my $60 ikon credit. When the girl at the register told me I had 28 dollars left I pulled out my phone again
and told her there’s no way, I started with $60

Well.. $16.75 + $8 for the chicken + milk.... did you use your ikon discount?

The freezing fog today was rough...felt like I was scraping my goggles off every couple minutes. Sunrise first thing this morning was the ROTD. Really beautiful soft smooth cord. Everything else went downhill a bit after that run. Lots of firm/frozen groomers and lots of chunky trails. Still beats a day at the office though...

Those complaints about NRX - geez its running for f's sake! And even at reduced speed it is faster than Inverness (Grams in a walker might be too) and seems about the same as Summit.

Looks like they filed an Act 250 on Northridge a few days ago....https://anrweb.vt.gov/ANR/Act250/Details.aspx?Num=5W1045-50

Looks like completion slated for winter ‘27. Also looks to be a doppelmayr quad.

Ironic how they're replacing NRX while the lift that you need to access NRX hasn't worked in 2 weeks.

 

[jonnyco14]

Can't we just be happy they are replacing a lift!

No. I'm am entitled, spoiled skier. I must complain!

NRX is 1990 vintage, and has been moved. And if rumor correct, struck by lightening, twice.

GMX 2002.

It's not, because GMX just needs to be fixed, not replaced.

First sentence of the ACT 250 Application:

"Sugarbush Mountain Resort is pleased to submit the enclosed application for the North Ridge Express Lift Replacement Project (“Project”) at Lincoln Peak at Sugarbush Resort."

Jesus Christ...

don't these ski resorts pay an engineering consultant to prepare these applications? That is a mistake that wouldn't leave my company or anything I review...
