The "Sugarbush Thread"

[Lotso]

I went to go ski the gun pow on Steins today, only to find it was closed maybe they dropped the rope after noon, I did not go back up to check opted for 2 skin laps on NL.
Anyone know if they repaired the pipe on Sunrise.
Tough go for beginners with that chair down.

Was the loading carpet working on VH?

Anyone happen to see whether the Village Quad has been running the last few days? I know they were waiting for a part last week. I have some beginners staying with us next week who really would appreciate that being open.

Yes, it was. Rode it a couple times with zero lines.

It was not open today.

Heard it will not be this week. Waiting for a part.

If only they had a matching lift to the Village lift that also wasn't running to take the part from.

Has there been any mention of when they’ll start spinning Slidey B?

With North Lynx and Village Quad down, seems hard to use the personnel shortage excuse.

There are still 2 chairs on the ground over at north, and the line hasn't moved at all - snow on all the chairs from Tuesday.

Wish they would remove the "we’re expecting several snowy days during the holiday week, which could bring over 12 inches of fresh snow as we head into the New Year!" because right now we're looking at a major icing event tonight and tomorrow with maybe some snow on the backside. No mention from NWS about a foot of snow by Thursday...

Agreed. I saw something recently on Killington's snow report that I really liked...they had a form you could fill out if you saw something on the report that was wrong/inaccurate.

Read the MRG website for accurate information. They don't sugarcoat the weather the way SB has since the acquisition by Alterra. They mention the potential icing, and mention the possibility of the precip changing to snow on the back end.

SB did update it to provide some better/more accurate information.

Reinforces my original point. SB took the better part of the day to discuss icing. MRG had it up at 6:15 this morning, and even on Friday if memory serves.
