Looks like it.

From the picture it appears that the line will be on more level ground on that side. The left side kind of sucked when the mountain was crowded as the line was on a downhill pitch. Now they just need to tweak the offloading area at the top, that could use some more room too.

Does Burke Mountain no longer have a website?

Works for me. You had me worried that JR took over IT as well.

I'm not seeing a website. I'm seeing this:

Looks like Burke's site is for sale If we raise $750 it is ours. :

Weird. It works on my iPad but not on my desktop computer. I wonder if my iPad was using a cached version.

Burke is probably relaunching the web site with something related to "Q Burke" to further alienate and confuse people.

 

[VTKilarney]

I'm waiting to see how Masskier spins this into a positive.

 

[thetrailboss]

The Tamarack's URL's are for sale as well!

Burke just sent out a promotional email at around 3:00 PM. I clicked on the links in the email and each time I got a 404 error. Great timing. I guess JR might have taken over IT after all.

Pure amateur hour.

Their season pass prices go up on October 13th. The timing for this is pretty bad.

Seriously, because the response to the name change was overwhelmingly positive. There must be LSD in the water up there if that's what this is about.

 

[Smellytele]

Anybody find the new one yet? Or does anybody even care?

Website is back up. I"m surprised they didn't mention on Facebook yesterday that the site was down.

Why draw attention to it?

 

[deadheadskier]

It's a courtesy to those who use the site. Communication.

For instance, when this website here is having problems, an announcement is made on Facebook.

I see that they have posted their lift ticket rates for this winter. One thing that is concerning is that the "Specials and Deals" section says, "Coming soon!" I wonder if the cheap Sunday afternoon ticket is going the way of the dinosaur - at least in its current form. I was surprised that it was offered to everyone, and not just locals. People who were up there anyway could have a leisurely breakfast and ski for cheap starting at noon. Given the lack of crowds you could still get plenty of runs in and be back in Boston by 8:00 PM. I have a feeling some money was left on the table since those folks would have likely purchased a day ticket if the cheaper option was not available.
