Thanks for the clarification … I was thinking about reservations to ski (like Loon and Windham) but hadn’t considered parking.

Of Alterra-owned resorts, only Deer Valley currently requires reservations, correct ?

If Alterra acquired POWDR or even just Killington, I would imagine they would make it unlimited on the full IKON pass ? Would be great not to have to manage my days so carefully over their long season. Likely to increase crowding though at start and end of season when they are the only game in...

The Update does mention “snowmaking projects over the off-season”

What was the OZ screw up ? Is it all the dead trees ?

Is construction actually commencing, or did Les just hire a couple of guys to look around for a few hours for marketing purposes ?

He was previously GM of Tenney from 2002-2004, so he does have at least a few years of ski area management background: https://www.saminfo.com/news/sam-headline-news/10399-extreme-skier-dan-egan-named-gm-of-reimagined-tenney-mountain

New England Ski History is also a good source. For example, here is their page for Magic which contains maps not found on skimap.org such as 1978-79 https://www.newenglandskihistory.com/maps/mapsbyarea.php?filename=magicmtn&state=vt

Spain 2026 or Australia 2028 / 2030 could be good, stable counties known for sunny skies

Agreed … but what if you spend big bucks for an overseas trip with jacked-up hotel costs because of the eclipse, and then it is cloudy and/or rainy at the time of the eclipse ? Similar to planning a ski trip in advance, you can pick the spot along the line of totality that has the best average...

Don’t see a sign like this too often … Last chair 3:00, Final chair 5:00

Moderate traffic heading north on I91 this morning but no backups. Plenty of space still left in Burke Parking lot as of now

Was so good yesterday I went back again today. For first time ever got Meg’s chair, the pink and blue “cotton candy” chair #16, then on my next run I got it for a second time - what are the odds ? From the web: Meg was a Magic Mountain Race team athlete who died in her sleep training with...

It’s not the crazy free-for-all that I’ve heard it used to be back in the day, but I went to the Bear Mountain Mogul Challenge 2 years ago and had a great time. Was cool to ride the Bear Mountain Quad above the competitors, and then ski down Outer Limits along side the fenced-off competition...

Also there are two construction choke points where I-91 is reduced to one lane in each direction, between exits 5 and 6 in Vermont, and in Greenfield MA

I linked to that article at 8:14 this morning, here it is again https://www.telegram.com/story/sports/columns/2024/03/14/wachusett-mountain-reportedly-close-to-adding-six-pack-chair-lift/72964724007/

Great day today, soft snow everywhere … only running Black but waited 5 chairs max so far … 100% open except for Pitch Black and Black Magic
