Rumor that they rented out Inverness for the day, and VP family will just lap that. If so, that would make sense and be a reasonable solution.
Was told by insider mgmt that they wouldn't be at ME at all.

I’m going to laugh so hard when Vance gets stuck on North Ridge for an hour and they bring in Seal Team 6 to evac him and the mountain then turns around and gives him a voucher for a free small hot chocolate for his troubles. 😂

So we’re going up on Saturday but probably not skiing until at least Monday. Is this Vance shit going to be a problem? Also did this thaw weather yesterday f everything up?

Its all over social media - Reddit, Facebook, IG, TikTok,... Lots of Talk - if 1/4 the amount of talkers show up - it will be a shit show.
Few of them ski, most never leave the basement. It is more likely to be 18 burned out hippies in Waitsfield holding signs nobody will see and the rest of us will have an awesome weekend. I for one hope the VP and his family have a good time and are treated with respect.

I'm still struggling with the make the trip/cancel the trip decision. Have to decide by tonight. Concerned about the freeze/thaw/rain. Going to Telluride the following weekend.

There will be a protest, it will be much larger than 18, and many people will see it. You underestimate the will of Vermonters. There will also be a pro Vance protest in Warren. Notice how they would not allow both groups in the same space. That is the biggest travisty.

It rained at 3k feet down at Snowbowl so have to imagine Sugarbush is going to be frozen solid come this weekend.

Honestly, I don’t give a shit and want to ski with my family. If JD wants to ski with his family, he should be afforded the right and respect. That’s my view. Hopefully it isn’t a shitshow, I don’t expect it will be. For all the online bluster most people irl are avoidant and don’t like conflict. I hope JD jumps right on Gate house, goes to Bravo and enjoys the day.

Not paying attention to the forecast? It is susposed to snow tonight some tomowwor and again Saturday. Don't give up yet.
Forecast is great. Snow tomorrow night, snow Sat and Sat night. This weekend should be fantastic skiing. Terrible protesting weather.
