    Lifts that only service expert terrain?

    A little trivia time: What are some lifts where you get off and there are only diamond/double diamond trails to choose from? No greens or blues at least to start with. Ones that come to mind: -Castlerock at Sugarbush -Grouse Mountain at Beaver Creek -Edelweiss at Alpental -Jupiter, 9900...

    Okemo Intel?

    I blame it on the Epic pass. My rule is if we go up for the weekend, it's only one day at Okemo and the other at Mt. Snow. I've taken the family all over the west, NY & VT to ski and yet Okemo is their favorite.... They love the boring groomers and also it's where many of their friends...

    Like we've been saying about Gore....

    Yea, no way Gore is profitable. (and I do resort profitability analysis for a living). Tax payers subsidize those relatively cheap walk-up lift ticket prices.

    Oldest and youngest ages for pass pulled by ski patrol?

    Pass pulled at Okemo when I was 15. Jumping in no jumping zone. Pass pulled at Gore when I was 35 (34?). First person to ever ski High Pines Glade before it became an official trail. Patrol was waiting for me at the bottom.
