Personally I think that the Solitude lift should have been the one to get the six pack upgrade at Okemo.

Similar to Attitash, WV doesn't upgrade in time. Sunnyside,White Caps and Green Peak are all gonna need to be replaced sooner than later. The fact that they didn't put a detachable in for Green is just gonna come back to bite them in the ass (looks like its already starting)

Ridge Run is not a very memorable trail to being with. Giving it a base early on in the season can really help control the crowds on rime and reason. Vagabond is far more bumped out than ridge.

Adding onto Killington's weekend crowds and capacity, the mountain does a better job spreading out guests than most East Coast resorts. Adding this extra capacity really won't do much during peak season, even on the weekends. As for the early season, this would be huge. I really wouldn't be...

I'm wondering if Peaks is going to be making some tweaks to their investment plans for the next couples seasons. Mount Snow has been pretty vocal about a Sunbrook replacement coming very soon. I'm wondering if Attitash is going to get bumped up in front of them on the list of to-dos.

^ I’m lost..... Ragged has great coverage for their beginner/cruiser terrain. Usually all covered by Christmas vacation if not a couple weeks after. They also have three lifts that beginners can access not including the surface lifts. Overall the mountain is usually less crowded than pats and...

Ragged. It's beginner area is huge and very wide open. They offer two magic carpets and a learning area triple with great runs. They also offer top to bottom greens on both their peaks. Awesome mountain with very manageable crowds.

Vagabond, Great Bear and Northstar are pretty much guaranteed to get snowmaking coverage on it now that there's a six pack there. I'm sure other trails like conclusion will see better coverage on that side of the resort now too. I'm still surprised that they went with a six pack! I feel like...

K's gotta get with the times. This is the best news of the season!! Lets hope they keep going by knocking down the dumpy ramshead/snowshed lodges next summer!

I also don't agree with Southridge at Sundayriver. That area is way too busy and overwhelming. Snowshed is the perfect place to learn how to ski. I grew up learning at Killington and I loved it. I'm surprised that they never snow-make or groom Yodeler, that's a fantastic, easy trail...

^ Snowshed Double 2 was removed this off season in the replacement for a zip line. Look out triple runs on the weekends and other busy days. As long as there is coverage on toll house road then the double is open.

I rode the outpost chair on a Tuesday two seasons ago, granted that was during kids febuary break. But most of the time I go there it's open. We'd always hope for the best once we skied around that corner to the south ridge triple, hoping it would be open. That lift was a hit or miss. Canyon...

I've only skied it once with snowmaking coverage on it and once very a very thin layer of natural snow. As for triple take, it's usually open when the top of not too shabby is open. Triple take has some major, steep drops that require a lot of base so it makes sense.

The worst I've watched unfold was at Attitash. The Illusion trail originally started as a double black then changed to black. Now it's a blue..... It's a fantastic trail but not for the intermediate. A standard black was the right rating for it.

I would love to see them cover those trails this season, the all natural is great but covering these would definitely spread the crowds out more and allow for earlier-later season skiing on them. Tomcat Schuss is another one that should be blasted on.

Just curious do the Cougar and Catenary trails have snowmaking pipes on them?

Someones a little cranky...... No s*** its not near ready to open, they started 6 hours ago.

I'm happy they added it. The Abyss was a huge surprise for me when they added that. I'm happy to see the growth of all natural skiing but would love to see some new trails cut to, with snowmaking. I was thinking about this again today, if they added snowmaking to raggae glades, that would be...
