saw that on reddit the other day. couldn't find this thread. didn't care enough to find it to post.

the family staying there posted on r/vermont. they were airbnb guests. sounds like it was electrical and not their fault.

Nice to hear it's not the usual ashes in the paper bag on the deck story.

Lifts were ski on all day today, place was empty. With a friend so mostly stuck to blue groomers. Upper Sapphire -> 103 -> Arrow was great, everything else pretty icy. First day for Solitude lift (Heavens Gate / Screamin Demon). Upper Timberline left ungroomed but was pretty chopped up and was a bit of a chore getting down. Black runs visible from the 6-pack were starting to look pretty thin with many exposed rocks.

Fun day today. Nats mostly open but a lot of very thin shit and rocks being hit. Outrage in particular was bad on South Face. Woods to the right of Double Diamond were fun. Off the Rim and Punch Line were nice ungroomed choices. Wild Thing to Forrest Bump was a nice duo.

Shortly after noon and insane squall hit and dumped a couple quick inches while I was over at Jackson Gore. Supernova was garbage. Big Bang had a lot of fun pow to the right of the large whales that haven't been groomed out yet. But the couple runs right down Quantum during the squall were heavenly...every time I saw a pillow I did a quick stop and the wind blew the snow right over me. Lots of hooting from the chair and from myself. Felt like I was at Jay instead of Okemo for a few minutes.

Good enough day, need some more snow for the nats to actually be fun. But kudos to Okemo for opening them thin and letting the skiers decide whether or not the coverage is good enough.
