I've started checking the date of news sources that get posted here before I read the story.

Killington has 2-4" forecasted for tomorrow night into thursday. Good thing they didn't waste their valueable money making snow!!!

This snow is on the Riemergasse trail aka the terrain park. They flattened the park and blowing snow for GMVS training.

Nice, I was thinking that or lower Inverness using the new guns they installed.

People think that this is all PR and blow for show, but for some places it's a heck of a lot more than that. Both SR and SL have major events and they aren't for weeks. I assume other mountains have events too. Aside from events, SR has 900 Brits coming the week after Easter. I mean, seriously, if it is cold enough, they either cancel a lot of stuff or they make snow.

Loon, Jay, and Saddleback may not have the big spring events later on, or the reservations, but they want the skier visits and who can blame them. EVERYONE is in the red on skier visits. Heck, it's so bad at Killington, the Brits who typically go there will have to go somewhere else unless K start blowing snow like nobody's business, which doesn't seem likely.

From Jay's Facebook page

Jay Peak Resort Kevin, it's more about longer term profits. The better question is, what's it worth to keep your most core (Season Pass holders) happy. They spend a good portion of their winter here for a reason and they deserve it.

I think that sums it all up nicely!

so let's see, if you bought a lift ticket probably at a discounted price or had a season pass and you completed the course you got a lift ticket good for next season. not a bad deal.
