Wow. Talk about counting your chickens before they hatch. According to LiftBlog, Vail has apparently "updated" the Attitash trail map to remove the East and West Double Doubles and add the yet-to-be built Progression Quad. What the actual fuck?!

One of my 13 yr olds really wants to be on the SP, he looks at these/you folks with such aspiration. Hes a great skier, rule follower and a "helper" at heart (his brothers not so much..) My understanding is that thru the many changes in mgmt at MSnow over years, theyve lost whatever Junior/development program was in place. Such a shame. After seeing whats happened across country with Patrolling (labor in general) any leader with even the smallest sense of strategic thinking should focus on programs that path into this service. My local CT hills SPatrol page points 15 yrs olds to the NSP YAP but something like this seems like a no brainer for Vail to encourage or allow control back at the "local" level for implementation. If his interest sticks, i'll check out the local EMS course our Vol Amb offers and start him there but a shame its all on us to figure out how to essentially support them, that sucks.
Moderator, please eliminate page 260....we were almost there and someone dragged us back

That’s a lift I’d actually take after doing the skate over from Bear, if it was an HSQ. Haven’t been following all the Attitash plans so if they’re not calling it the “Flying Progressive”
perhaps it’s a fixed.

I'm sure this will solve the problematic long lift lines

Vail Resorts’ plan to reduce lift lines includes ‘Phone Free Zones’
VAIL — It seems like something out of a dark comedy at this point in the season, with an enormous lift line occupying a full page of the Wall Street Journal. But believe it or…

No triple at attitash again today. So basically 2 runs off yankee Is all that’s open on attitash side. One requires a skate over and a skate back. Flying bear is down right now too. Double double definitely not happening this year. Town is packed. Is this rock bottom, or can it get worse?
Wow what? Damn it's gonna be a busy day

Maybe not, with the cold? This is all strategy, you guys, way beyond us.

You sound like a non-believer in Vail’s 5th dimensional business strategy.

Good times
All that noise and you only get maybe 900 feet vert. Looks like a drinking day to me
Tomcat and bobcat are closed now

Sending lifties to Attitash?
"It's too cold for Wildcat today, so go back down to Attitash, guys! Hurry up because the drive is your lunch break!"

Wildcat got the Attitash crowds today.
Honestly feel bad for families that look at the EpicMix app, see 68% open, only to realize Wildcat drops ropes as long as a trail “looks” like it has snow - which is great for some, but given the body count laying around ungroomed Catapult and the Middle Wildcat boilerplate I’m assuming some families had a really bad time.
Vail still sucks, but today’s awesome-sauce brought to you by Wildcat to Middle Catapult to Alleycat to Panther to Chute. Did that 6x times and almost ready to forgive Vail. Until I take a nap and come to my senses and realize this mountain is still in trouble unless Mother Nature dishes out weekly refreshes.

Vail down to $279.16. Good work guys!
