Big Burke announcement

I think you all are thinking about this TOO logically.....at least for Q.

 

[jimmywilson69]

Didn't you mean "Qlogically"

Didn't you mean "Qlogically"

Q and logic don't go together; it is Qreactive and Qemotional. If there were logic then a lot of the decisions would have come out differently.

Today's snow report is classic Q Burke:

"Snow makers are back at it with 29 towers osculating on Upper Warren's Way, Upper and Lower Foxes Folly. Snow making has also been added to the snow report on Lower Warren's Way because of the spray, use caution as you go through these areas."

 

[Mapnut]

Should I translate that as "snow is drifting down from Upper Warren's Way to Lower Warren's Way, although we aren't actually making snow on it"? Or is that too logical?

 

[oldtimer]

There is no known translation algorithm for Q-speak.

Jay is making snow and Q is downwind.

Good point. I heard that it is snowing in the arctic north of Q Burke, so technically aren't they covering the mountain with 100% snowmaking?

 

[VTKilarney]

Some snow just got tracked from the parking lot onto the J-Bar hill underneath somebody's shoes. I'm surprised they didn't add this to their snowmaking report.

Bus boy emptied a bucket of freezer shavings from Tamarack. Snowmakers are KILLING IT today!

 

[oldtimer]

There are no more busboys at the Tami- Q customer service = bus your own damned dishes.

I have heard that busboys may be coming back once they add a $3.50/pp "plate removal fee" to each check.

I noticed that as well. I think she meant "oscillate", except that the fan guns aren't on Upper Warren's.

Hopefully this pic comes out of the "awesome" snowmaking work being done up there:

There is an article in today's paper about the lack of snow and its impact on local businesses. There's a gem of a quote from Jessica at Burke:

"Q Burke's million dollar snow making investment this past year certainly carried its weight as we have 34 of our 36 trails open in addition to our first glade and two terrain parks all of which came online this past weekend,” reported Sechler. “We continue to make snow when temperatures allow to increase our base and compliment whatever Mother Nature decides to send our way.”

She also said that skier visits are "slightly lacking" due to the lack of snowfall.

only ski mountain I've ever seen that downgrades their trail numbers to sound like they're close to 100% open. so if they get a huge storm n the next few weeks are they gonna stick to 36 trails? or magically go back to 55?

and "slightly lacking" due to snowfall, massively lacking due to poor management and general assholery

I fear it's no longer going to be a "hidden" gem in Vermont because of this news.
