It's late January and they have barely any snowmaking runs open. The other runs are for rock skis only. You can't ever turn a profit like this. I'm getting quite bored skiing the same couple of trails. It's one reason I took today off.
So you must have enjoyed the awesome atmosphere in that new Q lounge at the Q Hotel. Oh, wait.....
I'm seriously hoping that this doesn't turn into another Ascutney.

VTK......you need to grab a fat bike.....change things up a bit 
I would imagine with the limited snowmaking, season passholders would get sick of the same old runs over and over again. Really takes a mountain with a decent amount of terrain/acres and turns it into a much smaller mountain in reality. Sad.

That's taking off out here. I'd be interested in trying it.

It is very popular here at KT as well. It is our new winter sport for my wife and I. Great workout and tons of fun on the singletrack.
Plus, we don't need tons of snow to make it fun. Back country snowshoeing is a blast but unless you have 2'+ of powder you feel silly on snowshoes as you don't really need them.

We are taking our $$$ to Bretton Woods today while our Burke season passes collect some dust. At a minimum for Burke it's lost food and beverage revenue.
I'm hoping that the Pats game will keep the crowd down a little bit.

The problem is that they already got your money.

I'm quite sure there is going to be a LOT less repeat pass buying for next year... Especially with how poorly the last passholders meeting supposedly went. Be curious to see if more than an average amount of existing condos go up for sale soon.
Their numbers must be low. His reaction is to repeatedly blame his employees and the locals for his stupidity. It is so sad.

Not for food and beverage. Bretton Woods is getting that from us today.
BW is skiing great today and is not busy at all. It's a great change from the shit show at Burke even if it's pretty flat.
I get that, but you're already deeply invested at Burke without the $50 in F&B. So you've paid to ski there, you aren't, so he's already got your money (sadly).
I think that next year you should look at Cannon or BW. Both are a bit more expensive, but they have better value at this point. BW I think runs a pass deal at about $799 or so. Sure, it's flat, but they get good snow, have good service, good lifts, and lots of terrain. Pretty easy drive as well. Just watch the speed limit in Bethlehem.

Think VTK mentioned he's locked in for next year as well. White Mountain Superpass would be a good alternative. Cannon /BW/WV/Cranmore
After the season Cannon has had this year, I'd be inclined to spend the extra money for that pass.

That would be.
I also know that VTK has bought a lot of gift cards for Q. Perhaps gift them, sell them on eBay, or use them this summer.

The problem is that $1,500 is all on one card.

Wow. Why did you do that?

Because the $1,500 gift card only cost me $1,250 thanks to their cyber-Monday promotion.
In November I thought that it was a great idea. The joke was on me.
