Has this thread become the new Sugarbush RSN forum? :lol: Should we start a "Wachusett" and/or "Adirondacks" thread?

Heck, you were so far up the road, you weren't in my time zone, but you weren't too far from Mtn Lady. Good crowd pics, I was able to pick out lots of people I know. The Sugarbush float with the reference to the Sox winning the series and the building of Lincoln Peak fit right in with the Flying Pig float.Lostone said:I was before him on the route,tho I don't know which o'clock it was because... I use digital! :lol: :roll:

How absolutely thoughtful... Further question- did you (any of you) prefer the Sugarbush festivities/fireworks the night before the 4th like they did this year, or did you wish they were on the 4th after parade & dance like prior years?daevious said:noski said:...

Almost didn't catch that comment!
Yes, I did notice and I think it was because of some kind and helpful people walking around with trash bags taking people's sandwich wrappers when they finished eating. :wink:

Daevious figured me out- see his post. Look harder next year- I will be easier to spot than your BuddyBadge Mate. Mtn Lady and I were both looking for the camera bag. I did find my buddy- that was cool.Lostone said:Noski, most of the crowd pix were before the parade started. I was scouring the crowd for a buddybadge, and figured I had a few good crowd shots. Always good for getting the feel of things.
I never saw MtnLady there. Didn't see daevious either, and wouldn't know you. :wink: Would have said hi, if I did.
As for the fireworks, I thought the idea of having them on Sunday made a lot more sense, as a lot of people would never have been able to stay, otherwise.
But for me, the choice of going over to North and dealing with that traffic leaving, or missing the fireworks... Were there fireworks? :wink:

Yes, maybe and no? :wink:
Hopefully you don't mind a little extra traffic? Most of us were here beforehand, but the RSN forum going frozen when the Mad River Forum has gone missing leads to little in the way of options in the way of skiing threads.
This thread just gives us a way to keep things about Sugarbush and the area sorta confined. If it is a problem, I think I can come up with another forum. Just that the others are much less based on outdoor activities and get... a little more out there in topics, if you know what I mean.
And besides... Trailboss started it! :lol:

No, you are all welcome! :beer: It's great to see that we can continue discussions about SB and the Valley without Ghostie and his buddies going on a rant about something else :wink: :idea:
I saw some familiar faces, so figured we'd keep the SB discussion going...why stop a good thing? I've heard a lot of compliments about this thread and heck, you can see there is a lot of interest.
Feel free to keep it going on this thread or to start other threads (i.e. "Lincoln Peak Progress" or "Castlerock Lovers only") :wink:

While I paid $300 for my Sugarbush pass during college now they want me to pay over $1000. No other resort comes even close to that. While I love Sugarbush, I can get a Smuggs pass for $300 and cannot afford the $1000 for the Bush. That's over a $700 difference. Jay is also significantly less for a full adult pass. Even Stowe, who is known for ripping skiers off is around the same level for a full adult pass and they offer a young adult pass for $700 or $800. It seems to me that Sugarbush would benefit greatly by following Stowe's lead in this category to try and attract the recent college graduates who will someday make enough money to afford that $1000 season pass but are living on limited means for now.
Just wish they'd put up pics on the lincoln peak village website... if they're gonna put the effort into making a "look at the status" page, they might as well update it... really wanna see what it's looking like...djspookman said:I noticed those trees out behind the Gatehouse as well.. looks like we may finally be able to ski to the super bravo instead of pole-along.
I heard lots of truck trafic heading up the road this morning, but I don't know anything else as of yet.
