I don't know if I have the energy to type all that again. This is the first time I have been on here in a week or so. Sucks going back to work after a vacation.

What will tomorrow ski conditions be ? Wet snow on powder ?
Ice over packed powder over powder over ice......
Yesterday's ride back to "work-land" was brutal.....6.5 hours for a 3.5 hour ride......people just don't get ice. Saw 15+ accidents, two separate rolled cars and was stuck in the I-89/93 interchange highway shut down where we sat for about 60-90mins without moving. Epic ride on the negative side. I hope everyone made it home in one piece.
I can confirm that the wind was howling at elevation based on what we saw around the notch.....Cannon was packed and looked to have plenty of snow coverage.....every chair going up was filled with no open seats.......

Something not being seen at Burke...
Power went out last night and Q's alarm didn't go off maybe?

I figured someone would pipe in with a more first hand account at Q.....I just did a drive by on Saturday and saw open trails with only 2 people I could spot from a view of the upper mountain......everyone must have been jumping into the bag.....lol

And the winds tomorrow are supposed to be slightly higher.
I actually feel badly for Burke on this one. You can't blame them for high winds - and to have the high winds hit on two out of three days over a holiday weekend is piss poor luck.

Guys, real easy to just check their snow report rather than assumptions/accusations/3rd hand accounts etc that dominate this thread.
Seems it will be very nice up there today. All you Burke fans should go support the mtn and ski it!
We will be experiencing a short delay this morning due to snow, we ask you to please bear with us until we get things up and going!
Thanks to the 6 to 8 inches of fresh powder we got last night, today we’re proud to be operating at 100%, with 5 lifts servicing all 36 trails, 14 glades, and 2 terrain parks we have to offer! Surface conditions are powder over packed powder.

Did you find out by going to the mountain? Nothing on FB yet, and if they couldn't be bothered to answer the guest services phone on the Sunday of a Holiday Weekend....

A delay due to snow?????
What assumptions? How does a ski resort open late due to snow?

Yeah, I was giving them the benefit of the doubt. But if 6-8 inches of snow shuts down your resort something is seriously wrong.

Maybe they need time to groom some of it.....guessing it is heavy wet snow so probably takes a bit more time. So much negativity in this thread in general. Finally Burke gets snow, the mtn is 100% open and you guys are focused on trashing the place rather than focusing on the positive.

I don't think it's being overly negative to criticize a ski resort that has to shut down because they received 6-8 inches of snow. Sorry, but you're just not going to convince me otherwise.

Looks like Sherburne/MBX normally opens at 9 on Mondays. This is a 1 hour delayed opening---not "the ski resort has to shut down" as you suggested.
Let's not make a bigger deal of this than it is. I'm sure the skiing at 10 will be quite nice. Wish I was up there and not here at work!
