[gmcunni]

on the banner at the top of the alpinezone.com page there is a mountain on the right side, which mountain is it?

I've always thought it was Sugarloaf.

Definitely Sugarloaf.

It is.

Definitely Sundown.

Definitely Sundown.

If that was Sundown I'd move to Connecticut.

God dammit. Now I feel an urge to get back up there. :???:

Never been, but I'm suddenly getting the urge...

Incredible place, when you catch it on the right day.

 

[marcski]

It is.

That is a beautiful shot of the 'loaf!

I had fun looking at those pictures. We had some nice weather. This will be my 1st missed Reggae weekend since 2004.

Jackson Hole??

sugarloaf is about the closest thing we got in the east coast to a Jackson hole!

Beautiful shot. The pic must be a few years old? The trails farthest to the right (Hayburner and Kings Landing) look a LOT narrower than they are nowadays...?

Yep. ASC era photo. Gondi midstation is still there too.

....gets hit with wind more than sun....

As most of the trails lie on the north(NE---NW) side of the mountain, until everything melts around here, the snow remains pretty constant. The "Loose Granular" status posted on the websites, I've thought, is often overstated..and more of a result of wind(at Sugarloaf)... Pretty strange as the resorts normally go to huge lengths as to talk up about what actually exists.

If only they could move Sugarloaf to New Jersey..
