The "Sugarbush Thread"

[Hawk]

Honestly I don't get all the bent over the Castlerock Pub. They usually have good music and I am a regular. If you look at the big picture, Sugarbush has a great set up. They have the combo of Castlerock, Rumbles and the plaza bar. You can order a beer and cocktail at any of those places and wander around between them with an open container. How many East Coast places have a set up like that?

Collected thoughts on all of this:

* Afterthoughts is a great addition to the Valley.
* I always laugh when I see the GMT ads in Front Porch forum "see where green mountain transit can take you." The answer is no where, I'd love it if there was a way to get to Emily's, Afterthoughts, BlueStone (RIP), Lawsons, etc without driving. The Valley floor schedule is insufficient.

* I don't understand why the Mad Taco closes so damn early. They have a great bar, which I want to spend more time at.
* I don't understand why Castle Rock pub closes so damn early. Why can't they make this a focal point of entertainment? Even during pride weekend, the comedy shows seem to end at like 8:45 or something.
* Green Mountain Lodge Thursday bands are great, why do they close at 6pm? I get it if you are snowboarding until last lift, but if you work from home 9 to 5, by the time you've changed out of your work clothes (pajamas) and put on "going out in Vermont" clothes and drive to Mt Ellen, there's only 35 minutes of music left.

* Mehurons is far better than the Mehurons like place in Waterbury.
* Uber would be nice.
* I don't see SRT as alleviating the housing crunch. Most second home owners that do STR will just let the property sit idle when they aren't using it rather than converting it into an LTR or selling it. However, I don't have any data on this--it is just my intuition,

AGREED!! For the past few years, all apres ends abruptly at 6 pm. Does not if Green Mountain Lounge or CRP are packed on a Saturday, the doors open up and the chairs are on the tables. 6 pm just seems super-early to end a good apres, right??

Ya they have been doing that. 6 is too early if we are still there we usually just head over to Rumbles or Reks.

Couldn't place this but figured it out: Top of Ripcord. Signs blurred but has to be Paradise and RC. Optical illusion; thought it was a trail coming in from above...

Weather the next couple days might make for some hike to turns this weekend.

Sorry. Slidebrook Lodge & Tavern. I don't think it opened last year?

It was Pepper's before that. Used to have great breakfast there.

yeah yeah, Peppers and SBT - recall both- with all the needs for housing one would think it could be utilized - I dunno- maybe it is?

Thats what I remember - great breakfasts.
