Due to how much access they felt they had to restrict due to the HG project, yes. They announced back in the late winter/early spring that they would not have lift served DH this year.

TBD 2 for $99 tickets are live for next season. Second day is once again April 1st on. I really need to try to not get this. There's not enough ski days in the year for what I already have. But it's a good deal if you still ski in April.

Hopefully next season they don’t close most of the mountain after 4/1 like this year with the lift replacement.TBD 2 for $99 tickets are live for next season. Second day is once again April 1st on.

Just a heads up if anyone plans on venturing to central VT in the coming days.....we got yet another of heavy rain yesterday (3-6 inches!) and there are plenty of road washouts/closures and flooding. It's not as bad as last year but we got hit pretty hard. Getting around may be tricky and plenty of businesses will need time to clean up.

NRX is rumored for replacement next summer, but since it is on the Mt Ellen side, hopefully it will not affect April/May operations.

My hometown (Lyndonville) and a lot of the NEK were really trashed in this latest storm. I know that Barre was also once again destroyed. This gets old.

That is the official website. Any sales done on eBay DO NOT benefit those in need.
My money is on them closing ME earlier than normal to prepare for this work (and save $$$$). And that said announcement will be made late to the anger of many.

Considering that the NRX is closed so much already, an early closing so they can fix it is not that big a deal to most. Well unless you have a perpensity to bitch. There is a whole other mountain to ski unlike other places. Not realy that big a deal.

We were up this weekend. This is nothing in the staging lot. Zero Nada. Not ever a bucket of bolts. Maybe they are putting some materials up in the maintenence lot up on Gondolier but I have seen nothing so far.

That's pretty funny, they literally just posted that. They must have read hawk's postSugarbush, Vermont on Instagram: "Special delivery! Parts for the new Heaven's Gate Quad are arriving including sheave trains, towers, and loading conveyor parts. Progress continues..."

It's July there's no reason why it won't be ready. It's a fixed grip.
Can I quote you on that in December?

Ya its as fixed Grip, but a conveyor loader so maybe a little more complex. The issue we will be faced with is that in some seasons, the temperature profile makes it only possible to blow up high early on. If that lift is not operation until later, say early December or later and we have one of those years, opening day could be delayed.
