    I’m down for that! Win mentioned that area between NL and Castlerock as well as a potential area. I would be more interested in the area above Inverness though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Correct. There are a lot of new bikers out there. Probably get a great deal on a bike in about a years time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yeah. I feel the same way. It’s a mile of trail. So grand scheme of things doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. Plenty of tech stuff to ride and assume tech trails will continue to grow at an even faster clip. Yes, I rode the trails that were there prior. I am not a COVID biker :). Sent from...

    Thx Win. Appreciate everything you did for the mountain. Separate topic. LOVE the new MTB trail Sugarbush Parks built at end of Shady Lane. Someone mentioned to me there is a larger expansion plan for trails. Just curious if anyone has any details? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    No trail maps on the safety bar though. Must have come later. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Was nice to be outside. But man it was eerie being on fresh, albeit it frozen, corduroy without a soul around In the middle of the day on Sunday in March. Looking at the long range, looks like a crappy run for the next couple weeks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good post. I’ll miss the GML, nothing else. As I’m sure anything in it’s place could only be a massive improvement. Curious, I know mt Ellen base was not in the near term plans. A new walts and mid mountain GH is. But GH is already kind of a shit show 9-2. Won’t putting a lodge at the top of...

    And Alterra just announced their capex plans. The largest share is base area improvements. Why do you think that is? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Weddings. More skier visits at north. Expanded GML. Maybe move MTB to north where they have more flexibility with trails etc. so summer income potential. I actually think you can more easily stick a ROI on this vs snowmaking. I’m not saying that snowmaking is not needed, just easier to measure a...

    Yup. Gatehouse is an issue. I’d like to hear what the plan is to mitigate that when they build a new lodge up there. Won’t that make the situation worse? Realistically I can’t imagine the lift you are describing would be in the cards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes. Exactly. Major issue. Yeah we have a great lodge for 40k or whatever it costs. But you may be in a tent because we don’t have an alternative to get up there in bad weather? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I read somewhere that there are changes coming to Act 250. Wonder if that will have any impact on what sugarbush can do going forward? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I know right. Sad to see this. Let’s pick on the kid behind anonymous screen names? He’s never once got personal and that stupid poem was written by a made up handle if you actually read it. Yet he remains above board. Good for you teddy, some these guys can learn something from you. Sent...

    I actually agree with some of what you are saying. And with more skier visits it would be better if slide Brook ran more often, I for one think the bus is a PIA. But the lodge situation is a priority. As is snowmaking. So those will likely be addressed first if you believe anything they have...

    Yeah. After spending a week elsewhere. I really appreciated not having to circle tables in the lodge like a great white circling a seal off Monomoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    If it goes way out. Would nice to have a connector to the village run trail that removes that ridiculous flat out before the turn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think it’s a combination of technology, better equipment and the growing popularity of backcountry skiing. Just look at the skimos and the wait list associated with that program. If you’re worried about people finding lines reasonably accessible off of a lift served resort in this day and age...

    Yeah. I did the exact same thing. On second thought, that set up is perfect, leave it just like it is. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good ideas. But, Please god no more traffic on deathspout . I like the regrading idea so it can extend straight back. PS. The Grift was awesome last night. That guy on the keyboard was going crazy. [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Usually when we have visitors looking for that we head to Mount Ellen @ Sugarbush. You can definitely hit both mountains in one day without an issue though. Maybe you’ll get lucky and the slidebrook lift will open up. It’s got to be getting close. Makes it just a little easier to get between...
