Yup. Below zero early; not getting much warmer. Groomers will be nice

Some video footage of Vance on Reddit, he is a pretty bad skier:

Yes, I see that he skis at the beginner/intermediate level from the video. What I also notice is the crazy amount of people on that trail skiing near him then the wreck at the end.

I've always thought a crowded beginner/ intermediate trail like that is much more dangerous than skiing an expert trail which never has a crowd.

We have had some of the best consistent snow conditions in years. As a retired Navy officer I am not a fan of our current administration especially how they have degraded and disrespected the power that was earned by sacrifice from generations of the individuals and our country who previously served. The meeting in the Whitehouse yesterday is a low for all of us.

However- I must commend our mountain for how well they handled the inconvenience of having a Vp pick our humble resort to spend the weekend. I was here from 8am through 1600 and it was a normal weekend- zero inconvenience for us small people. I will thank Sugarbush and not the VP - maybe we will get a grant to help bring in more A+ lift mechanics that the Doge will approve.

Prey for more snow!!!

Forgot to say GO LUCY thanks for Standing Tall

saying he skis once a year is probably generous, idk what anyone was expecting.

it's kinda cool that people were sharing trails with the vp today imo.

So short version is VP Vance and his family skied Sugarbush today, and it's wasn't remotely the debacle that the AZ crew who likely only watches/listens to say CNN, NPR, MSNBC, Etc thought it would be.... nuff said

Um, read the thread. There was some drama regarding the snow report. And he went around the bullwheel. But nobody is reporting any operational issues.

Taking a trip around the bull wheel puts him at jerry platinum status. We'll done Mr VP.

He brought a crowd with all the secret service folks in his orbit, but DS is often a pinch point for crowds

Hope that video emerges of this, would be hilarious to watch. Did they have to run the lift in reverse to extract him ?

Well it’s wakey wakey eggs and bakey this morning so maybe she didn’t get fired.

I have to thank the publicity for bringing the lines down. There were no issues and skiing was great. The report is that the traffic for this weekend was less than normal

Also new admiration for Lucy! That was a great post

 

[Lotso]

Just drove by the farm on Bragg Hill with the horses out front. One of the horse blankets had "I love Lucy" written on it in tape.

Vance will drive by later today on the way to BTV (not skiing today...too cold) but likely will have no idea.

Glad she's not been canned, and also glad it wasn't a complete shitshow this weekend. Happy everyone got a chance to express their views and we now move on. Fingers crossed for the future, especially Tue-Thur with the rain and 50 degrees...

Protesters line the streets as JD Vance vacations in Vermont

The towns of Waitsfield and Warren saw multiple protests Saturday.

You all made fun of her incessantly for months. LOL. Must be the “moderate” thing to say.

 

[Cheetah440]

Looks like JD and his family had a good time despite the best efforts of Sugarbush and the MRV to prevent them from enjoying their weekend.

Was Johnny B on the snow phone this morning so I wouldn't be so sure...anyone have definitive info?
