Roxbury was fine last Sunday. I would not wory going over Roxbury unless there is an ice storm. Even in light snow it is fine.

FYI, the mountain already uses the Sugarbush inn to house emplyees and I think they also own and use sugarlodge? This new building coupled with the units they are talking about at the Sugar Cube should make things much better.

my understanding was that with the new building they would return the sugarbush inn to guest lodging

Yes, they use the Inn and also supposedly a few rooms at the Sugar lodge. But they want the Inn and Sugar lodge to go back to being available for general lodging usage after the new housing is built.

I like the Bethel Mt Road option that tumbler mentioned. Very nice and easy route. I've done it a couple times when I had to go to MA for work and left directly from the MRV.

Sugarbush sells $20 season passes for toddlers. Picked up my nephews on Monday. He’s gonna be so stoked to have his own pass with photo on it. The sugarbush ticket lady loved my choice of Cookie Monster pass photo. He’s only 1 there and is 3 now but I couldn’t resist the funny pass pic

yay another eyesore

Doing some fast math, (16) studios at 450sf/ea + (176) 1 bedroom units at 120sf/ea + 580 sf/floor for gathering space + (4) gang bathrooms @ 200sf/ea/floor at a net to gross factor of 1.2 you are looking at a building around a 40k sf building. Even though they are going modular, there still will be plenty of onsite construction that needs to happen. Looking at $12m to $15m all in.

Good to know. I heard it was still rutted up form the warm weather then ruts got frozen in.

Nah, it ranges. It was $20 at Ragged when my daughter was 6 and under years old a couple years ago.

I'm sure this has been posted before but not for a while. For rox gap conditions see https://m.facebook.com/374504969573121/

For folks not used to rural dirt mountain roads and who knows what tires, I usually play it safe and send them to X 9.

Not bad Blurski. For a 40,000 sf builing I was going to say $300 to $375 a SF which is what you came up with. Thats what we have been seeing in the suburbs recently.

Send them exit 3 and over Camp Brook Rd- Bethel Mtn Rd then up 100. Paved the whole way and not sketchy. Exit 9 too long. Roxbury gap not in good shape.

Camp Brook / Bethel Mtn rd can get sketchy during a storm. For an extra 15 minutes you can take exit 3 and stay on 107 to 100. Much flatter and there are a few food options that way.

they opened bravo and exterminator. time to get back to mount ellen!

Skied all day today..raining at the bottom..dumping at the top...snow was great..just the right temp. Spillsville open.
My worry is the temp drop tonight..but hopefully we get enough snow to cover it all up. It's looking very much like winter.
Birdland opened with whales..lower organ still whaled up...Steins huge whales and moguls..wildfire nice moguls and birch in great shape...
The forecast for the whole weekend looks great....

 

[Hawk]

Next week looks interesting in the models. I have conservative optimism.

 

[tumbler]

At least the snow reporter is using the most reliable mountain forecasting system The Weather Channel says there is a potential for us to get 15-27 inches of snow through next Thursday This at least gave me a chuckle...I hope it happens

What am I missing? Came up with $400-$500 on 30,000 s/f? Housing here might be $500 s/f but with economies of scale would think they could get it to under $300- raw materials have fallen to '19 levels from what I hear from contractors.

You're a thoughtful uncle KK - I'm old enough to remember FREE under 12 as long as you have a season pass. . . . my older kids all skied for free- think it was ASC days- free under 6 w a day pass as well. . . . . they built family loyalty that way. And $20 is yesterdays '$5' or free. . . . .
