The "Sugarbush Thread"

[LuckyStrike]

Long lines at Lincoln today, including the bus to Ellen. Mutha Stuffers is really good and the Reks is cool spot. Might go back for the apres to listen to some tunes.

Midd Snow Bowl was a hoot today. Completely packed lot; parked at top of Gap and skied in and out. Never more than 3 chair wait. Snow was sticky but fun when there was a pitch or you were on groomed stuff. Excellent coverage all over the place.

Anyone know why HG closed early? Heard they almost had to evac.

Today was surprisingly nice. I was expecting firm/icy conditions with yesterday's warmth followed by the somewhat late temp drop, yet the groomers felt more like average winter conditions. Even took a run down Lower Domino and it was surprisingly skiable as well. I bet upper elevation bumps were even better.

Yesterday was crowded, but conditions were quite fun again. I suspect Lincoln saw more crowds than usual due to GMX still being down to start at ME so some people probably made the call to go to LP instead of ME. And then HG and NL going on wind hold didn't help matters.

I don't think anyone will be surprised. You could have posted this comment 15 years ago......

And in other breaking news, the sky is blue and grass is green.

Sugarbush made their target depths...honestly it would be a waste of money for Sugarbush to make snow at this point. Once you're past President's, K is probably the only major resort to potentially still make snow after that. This is not new.

Heading up to see if the concrete has softened. Maybe 2-3" tonight, then 50s for a while.

95% of ski areas have been done for a month now, or more.

Is Killington blowing snow right now on just Superstar or other places too?

I think it's silly but, in their quest to be first&last they've been doing this for years. It's the only way we can ski into June. There's good temps for it.

Up until this last window Sunday to today, they were resurfacing all over in addition to Superstar. This past window was just Superstar, with some spots guns here and there.

They're pulling hoses, so probably all done now. What you see is what you get.

GMX, Northridge and Summit closed for the day due to wind.. or maintenance? Conflicting information abounds regarding GMX's actual issue.
