Well said monkey brook. Hard to find many who have been to the river who are un happy this year.
Many of us are excited and amazed at what is going on. Made snow on 17 trails last night. The locke mid station is know on hinges so it does not need to be rebuilt. The lifties have new drills to set up the lift poles. Can't be more satisfied. all areas are being looked at.

Folks,

The migration started only 4 or 5 weeks ago....the hacking that caused this issue occurred at that time and we had to make the move to a new server several months ahead of the rebuild that was ongoing...otherwise a bunch of customer data was potentially going to be comprimised. Security over function was the call.....and the right call. Just keeping the site alive was a monumental win.

If we hadn't been forced to make the move we would have had a fully functional site both before and after the cutover - which would have occured sometime later this winter.

I agree, we could have and need to do a better job of posting temporary information the daily report page while the more robust sections of the lift and trail report are being rebuilt. That message has been sent to the team.

However, in my humble opinion the daily report does give most of the key information for someone to decide to come or not to come...just not every detail of which run or lift is open.

Regards and I do appreiciate the energy and enthusiasm,
SK

PS:I now see why others in the industry stay away from posting in these forums................hopefully this information was helpful to the folks that want the truth and don't take that as excuses. Silence doesn't seem to me to be an alternative that makes much sense.

One of our core values at Boyne is to be open, honest and timely hopefully that will fit with the New England Ski culture....sometimes the news isn't always what folks want to hear.

I appreciate this. The daily email now has the open trails and mentions which have been groomed and/or have snow making on them.

I travel 4+ hours to the Loaf every weekend I can, with 3 kids and my wife. Mid-winter this would not be such an issue - but early season your trying to decide whether to make the trip or stay home. Come Thursday, I'm trying to gather as much info as possible to make that decision. Listing the open terrain helps.

By the way, anything you can do about the police presence on the ME Turnpike. Not good for tourism you know. :razz:

We went rossi, this year, (He just liked how yours worked.) with burton boots casue of the fit. I got a deal on a last year left over board and this year bindigns. All done on trust. I know nothing about snowboarding other than is costs money. I have alot of trust in skifanatics from Campton NH. I had to re- outfit him 10 months after I did the same thing last year. He is my height know. (that is not tall) but he grew alot fast.
