There was actually a fair amount of people using that lift on Wednesday when I drove by about 4:30.

But man is it a shame that the Double likely never runs this year and they've made so little snow. I bet Storrs Hill has made more snow and Storrs is FREE

They are broke. I don't think they have any working compressors anymore. They leased a bunch of Demacs instead of using the working fans we had. They don't have anyone who knows how to make snow, or manage a ski area for that matter. The place is a lost cause, I don't see how operations can be sustained past this season. Nearly all of the snowmaking, lights, and the double needs to be replaced. The buildings needs work. You could drop $2M and not know where it went. A suitable buyer who wants to open their wallet is the only path forward. The place needs to be modernized and more efficient to survive. They need one cook in the kitchen, not a board of directors
