Back on track - is anyone there today? I have not heard any reports on how the rain is doing in VT or anywhere else in NE for that matter.

Its like France saying they are a tremendous military power because of Napoleon. Forgetting more recent history and the reality of today.

Did you just say the dry snow in Utah sucks compared to eastern snow? Yeah you might not get big crystals (though I've seen bigger flakes out there too...), but the dry pellets are why the snow is amazing. Also did you call ski resort burgers back east "really good?" Yeah Vail food sucks dick...

My guess (which comes from following the "industry insider" people on Pugski who claim to have friends associated with the Alterra situation) is that Alterra is driving the deal. They supposedly reached out to a whole slew of Mountain Collective and MAX mountains and only got two "no" answers...

Oh definitely folks will VERY rarely if not never utilize the Pico option. Especially as it won't even be advertised. I was just pointing out that it is possible. A shame either way. I haven't yet used Pico on my Max and likely won't this season. I suppose I'm not alone and maybe that is why K...

Has anyone who's been up at SB recently heard any rumblings about the Mountain Collective or Ikon for next year? Win, any insight to add? I've heard from Okemo that they are 'working' on something.

The Ikon people were up front in saying that it will be a few weeks before full pricing details are released. I'm thinking pricing details will be released around President's Day to make that the buzz again around that big ski weekend. Any announcement before that weekend would shock me. I...

Has it really been 6 years of warm christmas weeks? Last year we had the new years day storm, but I don't remember the week before it... probably means it was warm haha.

HAH, not more snow than out west by much though... this will be the first snowfall > 1" for most of the Maine and NH places I think.

Might be a silly question, but what happened with the North Ridge Triple that is similar to cracks in the foundation?

Considering they own ~40% of all the wealth... that is really not impressive at all. Its good and awesome that they are donating large sums to charity, but when taken in the context of how much they have to begin with... they're donating the same, or even a little less proportionally. I'm just...

Killington opens with a passholders only day first... Does anyone know if a MAX pass holder counts as a "pass holder?" I know the Max pass is direct-to-lift.

I mean let's not even talk about the CNN article because that's not a reputable source at all... Also your view of liberals is about forty years out of date. Saying evolution is a fraud is not going to make anyone angry who has gone to high school. I didn't mean for this to degrade into an...
