Nice. How is that new Gondola?
About as nice as gondolas get in the east I guess. I’m not a fan of them personally but I get why BW put it there. I’m more curious about the new summit lodge but I didn’t check it out because I was playing it safe and it was unusually nice out so I wasn’t seeking shelter.

Is the Lodge complete?

i've never felt more fortunate to be in the right place at the right time. i was keeping a positive spin on this trip, but it was grim. and skiing organgrinder over and over and over and over again was really getting old. legs were kinda sorta ready for today.

Only one day so far...

12/18 - Windham

Tons of snow and conditions for an early season catskills day were great. Not to complain too much, but the COVID protocols were basically ignored. Huge lines with about 60-70% of folks with no masks or improperly worn masks. Loaded the six pack with a double in the middle and singles on the ends. No staff to enforce protocols.

I'm not terribly worried about catching COVID while skiing. But still it's a bad look IMHO.
