The "Sugarbush Thread"

Some very hostile winds at Ellen this arvo, though it did seem to blow some snow out of the woods and onto which way, which was quite OK. Nothing too scoured as it was mostly a cross gale.

Ok, so they reported 8" yesterday morning. Claiming 5-6 overnight - bringing them to.. 12" in the last 48 hours?

They can't even add correctly. At least they cleared off the mid-mountain snow stake properly!

Pre-open morning report I read before heading to mountain Wednesday was 6”. They updated it later in the day to 8” because it snowed 2”. So my guess is they misstated today’s report that they got 5-6” “overnight”, where it was actually “since yesterday mornings report”.

Splitting hairs. Lots of snow, skiing great, go ski.

No "State of the Mountain" since Mid-January. I really, really do not like the people running this mountain. The patrollers, lifties and mechanics I have huge respect for.

Sugarbush needs to start taking lessons from their neighbor to the south. This is how you write a blog post about mountain ops topics: https://www.killington.com/the-moun...log/snowmaking-during-an-extended-cold-front/

Anyone have insight as to what was going on with slidebrook? Sugarbush’s lift network is starting to really fall apart. Lots of lifts approaching maturity at the same time…
