And the reason behind this is because EVERYTHING has been developed at Lincoln and not Ellen. With upgraded base facilities at Ellen, there may be an increase of people beginning there. Simple things like Ellen only having 1 webcam are an example of the lack of investment for that side. A new lodge over there would vastly improve the experience.

I'm 100% with Teddybrook on this one. Ellen has been neglected.

I mean come on, last time I was at Ellen when I went to use the bathroom, one of the toilets was flooding everywhere and it was a mess. It was packed in there with little natural light. I know there are plans for an adaptive sports expansion, but the current adaptive facility is pathetic. Not trying to bash on Sugarbush, but compared to the Gate House Lodge which is one of the best ski lodges I’ve been in, the Ellen lodge is pathetic. While it may be fine midweek, on weekends its flaws are definitely made clear.

Another side note. When I was skiing with my sister and her boyfriend last weekend he asked the Slide Brook liftie why there was only one RFID gate and he simply replied “they’re too cheap to add more”. Haha.

I can't think of any major improvement that should take precedence over replacing the Ellen lodge.

(Just you watch, SB87, this is when the luddites opine theatrically about the subtle virtues of the lodge and their undying love for it.)

The first two sentences of this are creepy as hell and the fourth is laughable. In the last week or so I’ve seen you publicly name a teenager who is posting all your secret stashes and somehow confirm a 14 year old’s age and announce it. He’s the one who needs the lesson on how to interact on here?

Thank you so much for saying exactly what I have been thinking all day. Really creepy that someone is investigating the age and background of some kid on a public forum.

Amen. I love Sugarbush North and miss it.

That depends. If you’re talking about just ME, then I can agree. If you’re talking about SB overall, then I disagree. Increasing snowmaking capacity at LP is at the top of that overall list.

Hawk, who exactly told you my personal information and why do you feel the need to share it on this thread. I turned 14 about a week ago so I find it a little bit scary that you know how old I am...

Ya posted it on here for the whole world to see ya little brat Teddy! The fuck you accusing him of, when you posted it yourself!?

Yes, but the fact that he talked to someone who knows me after the fact and found out information about me is a bit creepy...

Dude - he’s 14 years old,... he has been nothing but courteous and respectful on this board. Calm the fuck down you old man.

I say keep going with you passion Teddy! Don’t let the old men bother you. You have quite the knowledge and passion for ski lifts,.... you know a lot more than most!

As far as the guy calling you out about your age,... you must have really got in his head - as he was up here for a powder day and made that post just before 8:00AM. Last thing I’m doing on a powder day is checking in on the AZ forum 😜

I respect anyone regardless of age who is passionate about the industry and wants to learn more. However in my limited view/observation he throws out far too many operational accusations, statement of opinion as fact, etc. It comes off as a know it all attitude. Hopefully with age this gets toned down.

Read back a few pages. SB87 published his own age and background. It would help to be informed before venturing an opinion accusing someone of being creepy.

No, it's not. You both know Win at a minimum. It's a product of normal conversation between people that know each other. I know it's fashionable to try to carve out victim status, but this is a long stretch.

What are you Hawk’s lawyer or something? The creep factor is that he was discussing and verifying a 14 year olds age with “someone that knows him”. Unless he lied and just used the info shared in the post then sorry Hawk you’re not a creep, just a liar.

I would want to know if I was wasting my time interacting with someone who can't even legally operate a motor vehicle. Wouldn't it be hilarious if half this forum turned out to be in middle school?

I have no formed opinion of said poster but he did choose to make his age public, likely a mistake.

But anyone falling for the "u creeps stalking me" line is being willingly gaslit, and it's a cheap play at that.

Anyway at least SB87 is a forum member with good intentions, yeah he screwed up but let's give him a chance to move on.

Inaccurate instigation
