We have not had an update since 2/14 on Slidebrook when the following was written in the State of the Mountain. "In other mountain news, the team continues to work on Slide Brook, with a hopeful open sometime over the holiday week. They’re finishing up with electrical work and have an inspection scheduled."

Holiday week has come and gone. What's the new over under on how many days it runs if and when they get it going? Bordering on pathetic and the communication is a close second.

How effin' big could Marine 2 be? It can't be much bigger than the Ford F150 Super Crew's that park in the lot and force me to do an 18 point turn in order to back out of my spot at the end of the day.
I resemble that remark....though I park way off in Lot 6, so likely not the guy blocking you in.

It's all good. I make it work. Although I do admit to cringing a bit when I pull into the lot and the vehicle that pulls in next to me is an extra long pick up.

I drive a pickup with a "long bed" (although it is a mid-size pickup, so even with a long bed still shorter than a full-size pickup). I hate when I park in a narrower section and they park another big vehicle on my left plus behind me. I've certainly had some fun times getting out of a spot a few times!

I hear Vance is quite the chairlift geek, he’s only coming to ride the longest lift in North America!

They won't be flying marine two around given the weather forecast for Saturday. I'm sure they'll have a motorcade. Really hope he just goes to LP. Planned on skiing Melon Saturday en route to Jay for Sunday and Monday

whats the over/under here? Will this - npw that its getting publicity- add traffic? Or, will it remove the mtn. from peoples plan due to the attention?


I'll go out on a limb and say far more cars and people in the valley and less on the mtn. A planned protest in Waitsfield Village? 9-10 AM?

I've been caught in the tunnel when Obama came to town for a fundraiser- wasn't there 4-5 hours and the town was completely shut down. Will they check your skins if your hiking early am?

removing myself from mountain, Killington for me. The question is how many out of staters know this is happening. I have not seen anything in the CT news about this visit, not that I follow a lot of the local news.
