Got a "Judge" mid-week.....hope to use at Burke! Never seen a lift line mid-week, probably a bit indicative of their $$$ woes. Hope Stenger et al can drive some biz there to ensure survival.

According to the Caledonian Record, Burke reports that it has already started snowmaking.

Guns running this morning. I couldn't tell if it was just the training hill.
12 degrees at the house this morning. If they weren't making snow, I think it would be fair to say there would be some people that would be rather upset.

Nobody's going to negatively comment, whine, and complain about old ski guns/snowmaking technology?

This place is getting soft.

So I see some towers going...older ones, but still good ones...and a few ground guns. Correct me if I am wrong, but the latter are still used for base building.

It appears that Q Burke is not participating with Liftopia this year. Jay Peak is. I wonder why Q Burke chose not to.

I also see that for the hotel, they are defining President's Week as February 13th-28th, 2016. That's a long week!

That is to also try to get the NH vacation week at high prices. Hope they don't do that for the skiing as well or i will not be going there this year to ski. Not that they will miss me.

That's also the week for VT kids in the area. One thing we know is that Q could care less about the locals.
