The "Smugglers' Notch" thread!!

[cdskier]

Not a rumor any more. Has been publicly announced as of this morning.

wow. so this is the catamount b-east guys? major play for them. hope this opens smuggs to indy. they can restrict it heavily like cannon to avoid prime weekend crowding.

I just rode the gondola at stowe and apparently disappointed some stowe people.

Im glad it didnt happen but vail really could have set up an eastern park city thing.

This seems best case scenario.

 

[thetrailboss]

It;'s no longer a rumor.

Vail was NEVER going to get approval to connect smuggs and Stowe.

[KustyTheKlown]

so much better than a vail acquisition.

If the Stritzler family had to sell I guess this is a best case scenario. I'd hope they change as little as possible, with the exception of faster lifts, but I dont like them talking about cutting new trails.

but I dont like them talking about cutting new trails.

Yeah, hopefully the clear cutting and turning stuff into barren wastelands at some of their other ski ares doesn't happen at Smuggs

Vail never had any interest in that.
