The "Sugarbush Thread"

[thetrailboss]

Hate to break it to you, but snow reporting has never been a job of upper management.

That's not my point.

I went to Silverstar in BC a month ago and they have a trail list with grooming status in lights (green is groomed, red not groomed) adjoining every trail map on the mountain. I've never seen that before but its a pretty good idea.

What if the trail is closed ? Light turned off ?

 

[Lotso]

I like when they give advanced notice of grooms, especially for trails that don't see much grooming (Stein's, Middle Earth, FIS).

Forecast looking good for Sunday/Monday

Remember when the daily conditions report, what was groomed, etc. was printed out on paper readily available at the base lodges.. as well as the CRP bar for those early takers?

Glad to see them grooming steins, I skied OG to day it was groomed but it will need a few more passes to ski like it was groomed.

Dan has a couple videos up on IG already of him working on Stein's tonight...since they said the morning uphill route will be closed due to winching on Stein's, I'm guessing they're doing 2 shifts on it tonight. OG the day it was groomed might have only been a 1 shift job...although it also wouldn't have still had whales to knock down and spread out.

Hope it verifies and Monday turns into a powder day. I took off this coming Monday and Tuesday a few weeks ago so in this case a Sunday/Monday storm would be perfect for me...

Every time people talk snow totals before it gets here you know what happens....

True, but still hoping

Yeah, but it's snow porn. It's not hurting anyone. . . til it doesn't come. .

Fooling around with ChatGPT re: GMX part delivery

You broke one of the rules - never wear white while on the slopes…
