Pico was great today, almost everything open
Good coverage with nice packed powder

Killington was fun on Saturday. Got crowed from 11-12:30 and then the lines slacked way down. Ramshead had one ungroomed trail that had a thin cover sign at the top. It was by far the best run of the day. Bear had just opened and that had thin cover/snowmaking.

Riding this lift today, it goes so fast, you are not on it long enough to need foot rests! What’s it take, 4 minutes to get to the top? As a snowboarder, I have no complaints.

After being stuck on the Jordan 8 for about 20 minutes yesterday at Sunday River, I have changed my mind about these triangular foot rests. They suck. And if a full chair, completely unusable for a snowboarder. The short ride on Superstar not a big deal unless it’s windy out. A snowboard catches the wind like a sail and torques the hell out of your knee if you can’t use the foot rest.

It can be tough with a full chair, but try putting your heal side edge on one side of the triangle. If regular foot, put heal edge on the right side of the triangle and then clock the nose left or right to find the sweet spot. I hate those footrests but this method usually works out for me.

I’m goofy footed, I always try to sit on the left most side and just like u mention all I need to do is lift my heal and rest it on whatever. If I need to have my body facing left slightly it’s no big deal.

Skyeship opens Christmas day. All is right in the world.

I’m regular so will try the right side. My 18 degree front angle had me sitting twisted on the chair to get my board onto that minimal platform

Holy crap! LiftBlog reporting Dopp will be building the replacement lift for the Snowdon Triple and total project cost to $7.04 Million! I hope there is a lot of land work in that cost, I mean it's a Fixed Grip chair going in!!

Wow... thats crazy its that much for a fixed grip!

Maybe they are keeping the mid station? That would add cost

Wasn;t the new Superstar six pack like $10 million?

Wasn;t the new Superstar six pack like $10 million?

$12m - also of note is Superstar 6 is 3459 feet long whereas Snowdon Triple is almost a thousand feet longer at 4435 feet

 

[Keelhauled]

In 2005 Bolton Valley’s Vista Quad cost $1.3 million for a ~4400 ft line and 950 ft vertical, both within about a hundred feet of Snowdon. That’d be $2.2 million today.

Stowe’s 6 pack Dop that is slightly longer than Superstar was 6m. What was that 4 years ago?
