I just looked at the webcam for the SB lift line. I took a quick look at 30 minute intervals from 9:30 to now and see someone managing the lanes at every point where I checked... Maybe you were just unlucky a few times when the person had to walk away for a couple minutes for some reason?

Must have been. It’s a zoo up there today. Good for business.

The skiing and lines have not been too bad this week. Don't get me wrong it is busy but not a bad as I expected. Ripchord was really good early and the sun came out on the top for a cool inversion type of ski. Between here and Killington I have racked up a ton of runs and I can truely say I have honed my ice skills. I am ready for the snow!

Today featured the longest lines and the best conditions of the week. Started sprinkling sometime in the afternoon and we called it a day though the lines were gone by then and so were my legs.

Even the VT faithful are now starting to see Fail for what they are. When dr Jeff starts bashing them at Mt snow then the end will be reached.

Definitely! Even deathspout was fun!

Happy New Year all! Headed out for some turns. I need to clear my big fat head. Whoa big night. Cocktails with the condo association peeps, Village Run Pre-fireworks (nice job guys, good size for a homemade display), cocktails at the base and more fireworks fun, cocktails back at the place with family. All good.

Skiing yesterday was soft and nice. Hoping for more today befire the temp change.
Pray for snow!

We are quickly running out of wood core skis to burn in our sacrificial powder pyre..
Happy Year of the Tiger !

Happy New Year! These soft turns allowed me to take my first runs down Ripcord this AM! A few days ago I said I would be skiing Ripcord by the end of the season… this was sooner than I expected though!

We made it out for the afternoon. No crowds. Everything was skiing well. Hate to see spring conditions, but they were fun to ski. No lines at all. No rain, just mist and fog. Warm. Still like that out now.

Spectacular conditions this afternoon. The only ice spot was after the lift gates at Super Bravo. Ripcord and Sleeper chute were the best runs. One of the things I really love about how Sugarbush is run is that the lifts actually run till 4 (one was loading until 4:05).

Hopefully this storm pans out..then ill hit sb this week...

nothing against you personally, but its a huge pet peeve (particularly on skiology facebook fan posts) when people use hyperbolic language to describe conditions. nothing is spectacular right now in the east. nothing. nowhere. 'pretty good all things considered' is like as far as you can reasonably go right now.

"spectacular". its either genuine New Years optimism or classic skifishing.

I saw Josh Fox was talking about the possibility of a nor’easter on Friday. Would be the biggest storm so far this season

But how this season is going I’m not getting my hopes up too high but there’s still a possibility

slatham · Jan 2, 2022

Definitely potential. Track key of course. Could be coastal where SB too far north for core of it. In the meantime east coast powder skiing tomorrow will be in NC, WV and VA.

It seems like a 50/50 chance of nor’easter or nothing.
