Oh and sunny Q isn't running either. Any word on that? Been silence from the mtn on everything.

Is there a need for it at the moment with the terrain park not yet open? That could be why they aren't running it. But in general, the silence is weird...

Do they have the same PR person? Same GM?

Snow problem or no problem? Resorts concerned as ski season heats up

Experts say Vermont's winters have warmed, a concerning trend for one of the state's keystone industries-- skiing. Our Kevin Gaiss found out how resorts are weathering the warming climate.

As far as I know, nothing has changed with either of those positions.

Beginner lessons really have no where to go. Also, VT Adaptive has moved many of thier lessons to LP. Is that enough to run it without the park built out? Not sure.

How is the natural holding up?

I didn’t even bother venturing off trail at Tremblant today. Just ripped groomers for 3 hours and called it.

Lower stuff is mostly eaten. Heavy dirt patches on Birdland, Moonshine and Domino. Paradise is closed. I didn't go to CR, so no report there.

We've been enjoying the nat. snow trails all week but stayed off them yesterday. On teh other hand they groomed out Murphy's and it was skiing really nice. North Lynx and North Ridge today.

Skiing was surprisingly good Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We went xc at Blueberry Lake trails in Warren Thursday morning. Trails were in great shape there but were already getting a little sticky on sunny spots by late morning when we hit Sugarbush in teh afternoon we were surprised that it was still pretty cold with good snow up high.

Day 6 in a row in the books. My legs are smoked. Went to north because the Northridge is up and running. Good skiing, soft and spring like. Most natural trails are closed now with the exception of looking good.

Think we are headed over to the Lincoln base after the fireworks and party to rock the new year in with the detonators. Hope 23 is a snow filled and glorius year. Hapy new years to everybody.

Since this is the Sugarbush thread, anyone know if “$30 Thursdays” is still a thing, or is that done and gone?

We skied Organ Grinder and Ripcord, which was the better or the 2 and then a couple of runs off North Lynx which was good snow but lots of sliders sliding around so we bussed over to Mt Ellen for lunch and then skied off the Northridge chair until it started a steady light r###. No people, dense cloud cover and nicely groomed spring snow made for a fun, easy going afternoon.

Don't know anyone here but we are going to Rumbles for dinner and then hanging out probably at Castlerock for live music as well.
