The "Sugarbush Thread"

So sounds like North is taking the day off for the most part?

"planned maintenance" ?

Check website, see GMX is opened. 10 minute drive over, figure I have time for 5 or so runs off summit, faster/better than trying South. Get there, boots on and.... GMX closed, again. Northridge shows movement but no bodies, figure well Inverness and see. Freakin T-bar is faster. Get off and am greeted by a sign letting me know to take the Northway to get to Summit. Oh? On my snowboard? NR still not loading, some people chatting there said they were told 'maybe half hour'. I maybe'd outta there. Complete waste of my limited free time. Seriously so over the ineptitude of what passes for management at Sugarbush.

Sooo…..hike up Northway to get to Summit? Didn’t you pay for a lift ticket?

This same type of shit happens to me way too often when I want to get mid week turns in. I went to Ellen a few Thursdays ago at around 2:00 and the GMX just was just shut down for the day......nothing on the snow report, no sign at the lift.....just nothing. It wasn't windy, it wasn't too cold.....just general incompetence.

This is why I'm at MRG more often.

Hike from Inverness to base of Summit is probably 1/2 hour. I bet it's steeper than it looks. It can be fun stuck at Summit doing laps with the rest all closed.
South was amazing today. Snowing hard right now.
