The "Sugarbush Thread"

I don't understand what my post had to do with skiing gun pow.

Your shitting me right!

Nope. I told people to move along. Never mentioned anything about steins or snowmaking. I think I am "Blurred" to your point. Maybe it has something to do with a Head trauma on my part. ;-)

Good now maybe the bitching will stop. NOT!

Now we'll get the complaints about the CR trails being skied off too much from running the lift!

1 more lift to go.

1 more lift to go.

The albatross.
Bet it doesn’t run a dozen days all season. Just think about that. Did it last year? I was there 20 days mid winter days and saw it run maybe 5 days if that. A 2 mile ? lift that serves no terrain, takes massive resources to run and will run less than 12 days a season. And a bus does basically the same job. It’s like spending $100M on a software solution when a pencil and pad of paper works fine.

NRX is due to break down again any day now

It ran quite a bit last season. If they're going to run a shuttle bus they need more than 2 on the weekends

Somewhat random question...I saw American Flatbread is back to normal table service. Are they also back to doing the show up at 4 and put your name on the list for a seating later thing? Or is purely first come, first serve now?

With those statistics, of course it seems absurd. However keep in mind the current incarnation of that lift is not what it was intended to be and absolutely not what it was when ASC owned the mountain(s).
