Catamount is the worst in the EAST !!!!

[Bacon]

The last time I tried to go to Catamount, I pulled into the lot the evening of a day they had received 12"+ of snow. I pulled in the lot only to be told by the man driving the excavator that they received to much snow and did not open that day...

When was that?

Some holiday weekends it can get crowded. Much better since the quad was installed a few years back. Midweek is great...

I am probably going to head up there on Christmas day.

I haven't skied Catamount since I was a kid. All I know is that the Chief Martindale diner which is right off the exit on the Taconic for Catamount has the best fried codfish diner on weekends, very reasonably priced. Long live Chief Martindale diner.

When was that?

4 or 5 years ago. I ended up driving North till I found Bosquet in Pittsfield and skied there.

I'll be curious to hear what he has to say. I have a free ticket to use, but I won't go if the magic carpet is still unattended.

I'm going to the Cat New Year's Eve. Lot's of variety. They don't groom everything. The Quad always has short lines. The Triple and Double get swamped though, so it's not the best place for a beginner on a weekend. Long trails for MA.

I was being facetious, I ski there frequently.:grin: The OP had a very bad experience and complained that the magic carpet was unattended, which isn't good of course, but she really blew things out of proportion imho. This thread gets bumped for laughs from time to time.

Yeah, management is a bit "laid back" from what I've perceived from going their the last 6 or 7 years. Nice though, family run business atmosphere.

What's so dangerous about leaving a magic carpet unattended?(I ddint' read all 24 pages) It's not a lift, which would be extremely dangerous to leave unattended for obvious reasons.

If one kid falls over, it's like dominoes if the carpet keeps moving.

Somebody could get sucked under, like an escalator.

So how come we don't have escalator attendents? And I'd be a little more worried about the metal of an escalator. lol

That's actually kind of funny. lol Sorry.

 

[Snowlover]

The carpet was my best friend when I learned to snowboard. Boy was that chairlift scary. Now I ski. Learning the chairlift is cake in ski's. Of course I'm a much better skier than snowboard anyway.

Don't worry, I was being sarcastic.

Man, I forgot all about this thread. I think if I make a Berkshires trip this winter, I'll hit up the worst mountain in the East.
