Stowe Thread

I rode the lift with a snowmaker over the weekend. This is what they had planned, the race trail first then Liftlline. They are down people and many are doing double duty or several different jobs. He says he works 12 hours days or nights.

Wow I am shocked Liftline is not open and hasn't seen snowmaking yet. I know better than most the weather challenges, but that DOES NOT explain not having Liftline. Staffing issues are real, especially when you've F'd most of your prior employees in one way or the other.

I understand not doing lift line this year with the weather being what it was up until Xmas week. There were other strategic areas they needed to get open before lift line. But now they should be all over it. Need to take care of your people if you want to put out a quality product!!!

Not sure what you mean by that. As far as the on mountain experience it was a much better place To ride for many reasons. I would take them any day of the week over Vail.

Understood, I know they weren’t a good corporate citizen but at least Iit was a good mountain experience. The 600 dollar pass is killing the mountain. There was much more value in paying the 1200 for the pass back then compared to the 600 dollar pass now.

Amazing..Sugarbush is dropping ropes all over the place and Stowe is opening one run on spruce...what the fuck are they doing?

Slug, where have you been the last several seasons. This is a Vail mantra, don't open any terrain on minimum snowpack. Sugarbush on the other hand is still more of a ski it if you can/care to resort
