TB- As a season pass holder with two kids in the program I have solved the "brown bag area" problem. When I pull out our brown bag lunch in the middle of the lodge I buy my kids a Q-Hot Chocolate. If my kids are being real good I might even buy them a Quookie. I figure if anyone gives me a hard time I figure I am going to tell them I am drinking my Q-drink in the Q-lodge...the food is just some other stuff I brought from home.
One other quandary; I bought Judge Passes (so I can hit Jay during Feb vaca) which requires a plastic sleeve since you can't punch a hole through them. For thethree weeks since I picked up my pass I have checked with the desk (the people really are still great) every time I ski and they tell me, with a Q-smile, that the sleeves have been ordered and should be in soon. I'm surprised Arie didn't pick them up in Jersey when he got the J-bar part. Any chance J has sleeves? The only ones I can find in town are the arm bands (I thought about ordering 50 of them from Amazon for $10 and free shipping, taking the 2 I still need, and putting a big Q on the other 48 and giving them to the desk)
On the bright side:
1) My wife and I dropped the kids at ski school and headed over to the Kingdom Trails, rented fat bikes for the morning, got a family season pass, and went riding for the morning. I skied the next day but my wife was back on a Fat Bike and will be doign that or snowshoing all season. Fat Biking is FANTASTIC!!...it might even help justify a summer trip to the KTs for some mtbing!!
2) The people around the community really are great,and
3) The mountain staff, and season pass holders I meet on the lift, are all great people and super friendly
These are the reasons we chose Burke and why we will stay.

What about Switchback? That gone too?
They are doing everything opposite of Jay...does not make sense.
That Q Plane Factory better open soon. They need Ary's expertise....

Burke retirement community......just a $.01 guess with what deep pockets are trying to do.

Just wait until they start renaming the Qtrails. :-o And I'm probably not kidding
That's most of Vermont already. And Burke doesn't really fit that model with KT and everything.
Did you mean Qwitchback?
jay's yard stick says 120+ inches to the season... what a joke. how do they get away with such blatant BS? just sayin'

Jay got dumped on early season. Lot of up slope systems that put down over a foot of snow. Watch a radar sometime.
You mean QNEK?

I'm planning a combo trip to Cannon/Burke in late March/Early April (overnight in St J) hopefully they still have some snow then.

This brings me to another question as I think abut my Cannon/Burke wknd. When do folks think QBurke hangs em up for the season? They show pond skimming on Sat March 29 but nothing after that. Is Pond Skimming wknd traditionally their last? Realize its a guessing game w/ new mgmt.
Fixed that for ya ...

Haha yeah really. Have passes paid for as part of the Fox44 card so its use or lose and late March/Early April is the best time for us to go.
Thi$ $ea$on QPond $kimming will probably be la$t weekend. There'$ no Qmoney in $pring $kiing. And I bet that they will charge Qadmi$$ion for QPond $kimming $pectator$.
