I suspect conspiracy, what with "Get that shit out of my way" getting 2 first place votes on the terrain park.

mondeo - NONE breakdown was :

NONE 5
Moguls 5
Powder 3
No Grooming 1


i lumped these together as they occur naturally hence NONE with regard to grooming.. i would have left seeded bumps alone as a separate item but nobody voted for that.

No Loon? They should've gotten some "snowmaking" and "grooming" votes, no? And terrain park...?

The unofficial, unsponsored results are in.

scoring was done:
1st place vote = 5 points
2nd place vote = 3 points
3rd place vote = 1 point.

i left the point total visible so, if interested, you could see how close things were (or weren't).
there was a total of 47 responses, not everyone answered every question.

I'm sure that's a pretty accurate assessment.

I'm a Sugarbush homer who didn't vote in this poll and I've skied a lot at Stowe. I have found that a lot of season pass holders / property owners at Sugarbush have skied around a lot of places in New England before they decided to call the Mad River Valley their ski home.

I think he was referring to some of the more active members on here, like myself, who love Sugarbush and sing it's praises, yet have never been to Stowe.

While the results may not be perfect it is much more in line with what I would expect from a group what looks at the quality of the skiing and sliding above the amenities. Nice work
