Yep. They're exposing the resort to liability, using a cleared trail probably with grooming and possibly with snowmaking. All of that takes money to maintain. Unless the resort is feeling generous and lenient, an access fee is totally reasonable.

Anyone know what was going on with GMX and North Ridge today?

Vermont Ski Resort Perfectly Captured From Space

Tyler Jankoski (@TylerJankoski) of NBC5 shared an awesome picture of Sugarbush that appears to be captured from space. Unclear if was taken from a plane or satellite, but saying it was captured from space just sounds cooler anyways. Pretty neat to see all of Sugarbush’s terrain captured from...

Uphill travelers warned to follow resort rules following suspension

Earlier this week, Sugarbush suspended the activity outside of operating hours because skiers and hikers weren’t respecting policy.

The natural trails (did castlerock, lower paradise and moonshine)today were fun although pretty thin.
Some of the other trails were a little slick (Murphy’s, sunrise, organgrinder, upper part of ripcord, stein’s).
Liftlines were nothing today except Bravo. Only rode gatehouse first thing, it looked a little longer later. Never got over to Ellen today.

Hah...why couldn't that happen last night?

We skied Ellen today. No lines to speak of and similar conditions to Lincoln. Nice snow between the granite and the grass.

Looks like they got about 4" since we left this afternoon.

Does anyone know what was happening with the parking lot at North yesterday? I've never seen that many cars there, even on a Holiday weekend. At 12:30 PM all lots were full, cars were parked down the access road and there were tons of cars trying to get into the parking lot.

The trails weren't crazy, but the parking lot certainly was.

Race?

The parking lot was only 1/3 full at 9:30 when I got there and the race was underway by that time. The cars were streaming in at 12:30 when the racers were starting their second run.

Interesting. Some promo going on? I bet Win knows.

Agreed with Josh, and most racers were brought by team vans; very few parents in tow. My guess is the combination of sunshine, temps finally getting reasonable, and LP likely overflowing sent people to ME.

Hope they sold some burgers and fries...

SkiingInABlueDream · Jan 24, 2022

I wonder if sometimes ME gets slammed while LP is (sort of) empty because everyone goes to ME hoping to escape the hordes. Kind of like mis-timing the tide
