Sensation Quad does not appear to be running today despite hours of operation page still stating Dec 13 opening. Anyone know what’s going on ?

Yeh they weren't promoting it (in the daily reports) opening this week like the Gondola and Sunny quad.

Will probably open Sensation next Friday... though would be nice to have open this coming week.

Same here but occasionally will do a Sunday and will do Friday. Prior to unpaid parking getting out the lot on weekends was a nightmare. It could take over a half hour before u could even move an inch. Since paid parking everyone is spread out. The shuttles r well organized and when the snow is good riding down to x country is fun but also if u park at toll house thats fun too. Paid parking is the best thing they could do, since they weren’t allowed to enlarge the parking at the area further.

I agree, paid parking changed the mountain. The weekend is doable now.

Here is a couple shots from my first run this morning. Snow is deep!

It really did. Don’t love it, but not sure there was any other workable solution without being able to expand parking.

The thing I always find with Stowe is that it generally skies emptier than it feels when you are in the lot or on lift lines.

, today the parking lots were full and the quad was walk on most of the day give or take a couple minute wait here or there. Gondi had a bit of a wait. The six pack really helped the mountain by taking pressure of the quad.

Don’t confuse paid parking with swapping out a cold slow fixed grip triple with a modern high speed 6.

6 pack helps a lot, basically no lines with packed parking in paid. Free Shuttle service is amazing at what they do, too. Kind, funny, informative and it’s also a kinda a fun ride to the base of lifts, with little hassle or wait-time

A pick of an almost untouched Liftline after the boot pack up Friday with the quad on wind hold. Was amazing.

Woods are so deep. Did nosedive and goat trees this AM before getting out of town and couldn’t believe how much untouched there was.

Friday was interesting. Everything on wind hold until 9 ish IIRC then just the 6 opened. Lapped that all day until they opened Fourrunner... at 3:00 Best closing hour I've had in a long time!
