This must be how VT is compared to MA. Once I took an early start driving from NYC to K thru MA when it has been snowing. The highway looked like rain and slush on the MA side, and as soon as I crossed to VT, it was unshoveled hwy and local road all the way to K, with bumper to bumper the whole way on I91. Instead of arriving at 8-9AM, I got there around 11:30AM.

You should have come today. Lift 8 opened at 10:25. Yes there was a delay which was irritating at the time but that was long forgotten about after a couple runs. Fresh lines all day super good. They’re hoping for lift 6 tomorrow, if so you’ll have a lot to explore over there. I have to work tomorrow but back at the Belle Saturday.

I have to think that many, many resorts are going to be burning lots of diesel in their fleets of cats tonight.
Not much snow down, if any, over much of their terrain. 1+ to almost 4 feet of snow over most of ski country.
Christmas week crowds just over a week away. Generally light density for most of the snow.
Pack it to get some base snow, and suddenly the ability to open a bunch of lifts and if applicable, multiple lodges, ahead of one of the typically busiest weeks of the year, and most GM's have to have a smile on their faces right now.
Can't blame them from an ops standpoint for wanting to pack this fluff down
Actually I was referring to his pics of his yard.

Happy to track up the leftovers tomorrow. No way I was going to make it today. Sure I'll find some stashes.
Glad it was good and that you had a nice day after the delay.

My 4 wheeler was screaming the same thing, it was not easy to plow. I normally do a much better job clearing my driveway, but I gave up after a few hours.
what are lift 8 and 6?

Lift 8 is the Tomahawk, Lift 6 is Super Chief....or Belleayre Express.......
Speaking of 6, it opened this afternoon.

It did? We left around 2:45. Didn’t notice it spinning.
great day. More people on the “closed” trails than the two “open” ones. Glad they weren’t hassling people. Snow was perfect.

few pics from stratton on storm day
i arrived early and had second chair, skied alone all morning, and then ran into two friends. having a trio made the lift situation better - there was a window of chaos time at ursa where being alone would have been hard. savages.

Yeah it opened about 2, I wasn’t there but my wife and friends were. Funny when the closed trails have bumps on them. Even the gapers were poaching yesterday.
Website says opening the mid downs tomorrow. Nice to see. Still powder to be had tomorrow

Here was Mountain Creek today. I live 10 minutes away and got just over a foot. It was a fun day.

That's crazy. Maurice DuBois needs to learn a little about his own state though. The caption said Owego, yet he said Oswego. He said near Binghamton, which would be Owego. But then he also said "way upstate" referring to the location. Oswego is way upstate, but I wouldn't consider Owego or Binghamton "way" upstate...

If you’re talking to me, I work from home, and quarantined for 14 days in my apt before coming to Vermont for two weeks by my self beginning dec 8 when there was no snow. The friends I skied one day with met me there and we didn’t share indoor space. So kindly suck my dick you asshole.
