Big Burke announcement

[Smellytele]

Did anyone else get today's marketing email specifically mentioning the TamaraQ hours as "2pm-close"? It made me growl.

I was there on Monday and was wondering why it wasn't open at lunch. Some woman was walking by my wife saying "what a great management move. I guess they don't want my money. Why wouldn't they have the bar open?" I did get a beer at the lonely bear den.

Did anyone else get the Email saying they are closed tomorrow? Don't blame them.

There is a flood watch for northern VT......so that is not really ski weather.........

On the bright side.......plenty of water in the river for snow making

Burke got about two inches of rain. What a year.

ok. does Jerry Davis have a clue? please explain why not, along with all details of your superior knowledge to the guy owed the damn money.

just a guess here, but maybe, just maybe, davis took the original stenger party line because he's made quite a bit of money partnering with stenger over the last 10 years and didn't want to sour that relationship on the hope that the gravy train keeps rolling. again, a guess-no claim of "superior knowledge". just a bit of common sense

This makes sense to me as well, it doesn't make sense for Jerry to continue to air dirty laundry in the Cal Rec etc. He already took a pretty hard stand against Stenger several weeks back. The rest should be done in private and I am sure it is.

Doesn't matter now as the weather has finally killed what is left for skiing without some serious work and $ to get snow made.

Heck Winter Bike looks to be in jeopardy for 3/4....which would suck I was looking forward to that as was my wife and friends....

That's EXACTLY what he is doing

Yikes, lots of #@!n up your way. Wasn't as bad down here but the wind was brutal about 3-5 A.M. Blue Hills Observatory recorded hurricane force winds.

Not good...

It looked like that on Monday and the skiing was still decent on what they had opened. The best natural trail was Powderhorn.

I can't imagine Powderhorn will survive this storm. I'm missing Powderhorn and East Bowl for sure.

xPost from the storm thread in the weather forum:

From lunchtime, complete with Eye on the Sky weather audio (Old Center Road video).


The roads were closed off so I couldn't see the worst of the flooding in St J Center.

Awe man I know all those spots except for your backyard and that does not look good. bottom of pudding hill looks ugly.......

Best picture on WCAX from Lyndonville....yes, those are beer cans:

 

[deadheadskier]

I feel for the people affected in the picture, but the beer cans floating is pretty funny

The flooding is indeed terrible. This particular neighborhood floods a lot....hence the rent is cheap and that means that those who don't have much are forced to live here.

Surprised the Feds haven't bought it out and taken over the land. I saw that happen at a few trailer parks in flood zones in VT when I lived up in Burlington.
