@BG: I can confirm Middle Earth sucked on Friday. You did not miss out!

@Trailboss: Objectively, I probably agree, even if it might be tough to admit. I remember the fear & pride I felt the first time I did a run there (as a kid with my dad). First time I skied there as an adult was a midweek powderday after a surprise November (1999) storm dumped ~3 ft. The memory of waistdeep untracked on Castlerock Run & Rumble is etched in my mind.
Everytime I ski sugarbush I feel compelled to go there hoping (sometimes in vain) that it'll be good and without a long liftline. <shrug>

I echo your comments re: going there in vain and the often long line. It is what it is. Sometimes it's good; sometimes not. I bet that this season it has been pretty good.

I'll hit up castlerock every so often but it's not really why I go there. It's more of a perk Id it happens to be good

I fear what will become of the Mall. I know they say they don't plan on widening it much, but I don't believe them.

I'm fairly confident the only part being significantly widened is up top where the new terminus will be.
