Stowe Thread

I also find it amusing applauding the paid parking which is only because Stowe has been overrun literally because of EPIC in the first place.

Thank God that arsonist reported the fire!

I went to the bush on Saturday, average day @ best and HG was a 15 min wait. I haven’t waited that long @ stowe no matter what day it was the past two years. So yes I am pleased with the situation. All my friends that have ikon passes wish they wouldn’t sell as many as they do. Epic and Ikon both suck in that regard……

I am a pass holder from the past few decades. Not sure way my lines were shorter. Maybe I have better karma or manage the line better.

Maybe it was timing. I went there on Saturday and by 9:45 HG was about a 15 min wait. Upper mountain rode well that morning. OG was great!

Ya I think paying for parking sux also although it would not affect me when I go there. I have very wealthy friends that have a big house on the spruce side and I can park in thier driveway. Stowe guys are Stowe guys. They all love thier mountain. Hey if I was like Hovercraft and Kingslug and skied full time I would love whatever place I was skiing at. I think they both should go back to work full time. LOL ;-)

I do work full time, going between SB and Stowe. It’s hard but someone needs to do it so I don’t mind stepping up. Slug on the other hand…..

Your friend was not correct. Most of the day Bravo was 5 minutes and HG was 10 minutes and way shorter if you rode single.

I wasn't there, but had looked at the webcam history last night and this looked like what I would have expected based on what I saw.

Had 2 awesome days at Stowe. Thought it was gonna be in a refreeze state Sun but there was a nice layer of fresh snow on the top half and beautiful fluffy snow in the glades throughout. Almost as great today though bitter cold the first couple hours.

Hmmm tooo Cold.... Last year I did a couple of days at Stowe and sleeping in the parking lot at Stowe and it was NEGATIVE (-11 one morning then -9 the next morning) not much wind thankfully but was great riding those days : ) Little chilly but ok in the Back of the SUV to sleep.
