The "Sugarbush Thread"

[crystalmountainskier]

Starting to follow the Vail MO as they treat Attatash and Wildcat in NH. Must get a small profit off of Sugarbush and don't want to dump money into the place.

Now now Sugarbush just installed a million dollar conveyor.

Peak foliage.

Foliage this year is kind of a let down due to the drought. I went for a gravel ride in Tunbridge yesterday and the trees are already looking bare. Still some nice scenery but not nearly as bright as years' past.

re the fire: not saying it was this, but have heard they installed a fryer this year...

re the drought: even after nearly 1.25" rain, my pond is down about a foot and the total for the month is a whopping 2.6" after 1.7" in Aug and 3.3" in July

I do hope someone in what counts as "management" is giving serious consideration to the Plan B of Mt. Ellen open first based upon past relative water levels for snowmaking.

Insurance pays for nothing. Those companies don't profit by giving out fair settlements.

It's almost not worth getting into this on a ski board, but these two sentences couldn't be further from the truth.
