That's not the report that came up for me about 15-20 minutes ago... It is annoying that the webcam doesn't run at 7:10am though...

Its good to see them running Microsoft Security Essentials. Looks like a virus might have taking it down.... lol
No doubt Q posted this comment himself.....
What a douche with the comment of "all QB only season pass holders should be skiing and riding here". A more diplomatic way would have been to say, "now that we are open, we look forward to seeing all our Q-only passholders joining us this weekend! Looking forward to having you all here!"

Guess who just posted a video of opening day with the Chemical Brothers providing the soundtrack?

Ha !!!!!
I just drove through the parking lots and there was nothing at the base lodge as expected....20 cars maybe.....all probably working there.
Up at Mid Burke.........cars were sparse, plenty of parking left in those little lots......we watched the chair for 5 mins, saw 8 people........I was looking for the "Tons of smiling faces"........maybe 10 pair of skis at the mid burke lodge......
Be nice when the mountain is actually open, not just a run or two......

I can't imagine what the trail is like at the end of the day. It can't be good. I'm going to get out tomorrow.

Skiing today was much better than Friday. The snow on the upper Willoughby is holding up reasonably well. The quality of the snow on the training hill is GREAT for free skiing. Not sure how the BMA kids are going to like it (until we get the inevitable thaw/freeze). Plenty of parking in the 2 lots by mid-burke.
SUCKS & STUPID that they do not sell tickets at Mid-Burke. I met several folks who had to drive BACK down to the base to spend lots of money, then drive BACK up and park well away from the lodge. did I mention that it is STUPID and it SUCKS that they do not have a POS terminal in the mid lodge. DUMB. Double DUMB.

And they used to have one. She doubled as a coffee shop, ski shop, and even to cover the Bar if needed. Lame that they got rid of her. How stupid.

This is a photo they posted to their Facebook page. It was taken on Sunday. I decided to work some on the weekend so I can get out mid-week. I think that I made the right call.

You're probably right. That looks crowded for Burke.
I was at Burke last year and was equally upset by the no sale of tickets at Mid Burke lodge, seams like a no brainer, but I guess thats the point. Still I am really looking forward to ski there this year , good lifts great terrain, love the old-time fell of Mid Burke Lodge, I just hope I do not sit in the wrong table for lunch, a party of what I saw as regulars where not happy we were sitting there and encroached use to the point that we left before we were done with lunch. That did not discourage me from having a great day, i still get a kick out of the ruddiness.
Was their stuff there before you and you missed the cue?
No, but when one of the ladies slapped down her gloves in front of me that was my finial clue!!!! ( my wife was sitting across from me) They were same age as me 60's, I really would have thought absolutely nothing of it if all the tables where full or they were race kids, but adults?????
Weird. Was it at Mid-Burke on a race day?
