I expected it go fast. They are still saying they will be open to May 1, daily until 4/25. So much for the 10" glop storm. LOL
Answer me this. On the web cam page, what lift and trail is that they are showing?. I have not seen this view on the site before.

I assume you mean the Terrain Park cam. That's the Sunshine Quad at ME next to Riemergasse.

Holy Shit. All that snow is gone? That's why I did not recognize it. it was 10 feet deep like Steins. They must of mowed it down with a cat or something.
Also I don't understand why they had to remove the view of Lincoln base that has been there all year. Who want's to see the empty slope.

Yea...that is strange that they took that LP cam off the website. I don't really see a reason behind that. I also don't know why the webcam page still says they're "upgrading" the webcams and will have "new webcams available soon". The 2nd sentence about the lift-line cams not accurately reflecting waits and capacity would have been a sufficient statement this season if they didn't want to post all the other cams on the website.
I just read Josh Fox's latest blog post. He's saying this could be the biggest storm of the season (I don't know whether to laugh or cry about this). His predictions are 4-12 below 2000' and 10-20 above that. Figures we would get a big storm once all the rest of the snow from the season is melted...

the two biggest storms this year were before there was a base and after it melted. i know the December storm didn't really touch sugarbush, but it was easily the biggest single event from killington south
I think the fact that SB didn't get much from that one is why I blocked that early one from my mind and keep forgetting about that.

not to dwell on regrets, but i had my airbnb near sugarbush for the December storm, and i ate the cost of a motel near stratton the night before the big storm, so i wouldn't need to drive south during it. but i was too dumb and cheap to hold that hotel room one more night, and went back to sugarbush after storm skiing stratton. the leftovers down south would have been primo that day, and the weathervane motel is $70. dumb cheap fuck over here.

Hunter got 20 inches 12-17..that was the most from my notes.
Then in Feb it snowed about 5 days in a row..that was good.

A lot of places had these cam "issues".....
ALL The cams are 100% working. I never updated the Sugarbush app and I am able to see every view that they previously had been showing. (Include Catslerock and HG). I figured this hack out when they first stop showing certain views on the website and decided to not upgrad because of it. The CAMS are really the only thing I use on the app.
Yup...very true. I've been accessing the cams all winter to check on lines at different lifts (but have kept that quiet as I didn't want someone to actually turn them off).

Yikes lower Spring Fling is close to toast. Too bad no base for upcoming snow.
I just don’t get it at this point in the season. Why are they showing the Park as the only view? Are they hoping to turn off someone deciding on coming up to ski? Strange.
Maybe they're concerned that with only VH running you'll be able to see a line in the LP view webcam and don't want that seen?

I am sure they shut off the base view because of the very real possibility that with only one lift and a snow storm in the forecast, there might be a huge line? Just a guess. And you know the paranoid few will make a huge deal about the covid ridden masses coming up from the flat lands to contaminate the super safe few. LOL
