Hopefully they are bringing back Fountain Mountain

You can see both fountain mountains in this picture. The little one by the base lodge is in the background

I thought Snow Lake Lodge had already been turned 100% into employee housing

I remember the mini mountain behind the lodge. Probably lasted until around 1978 if I had to guess. They also had a water wheel in the lodge near the current cafeteria. I think the cafeteria may have been a bar at the time, maybe "The Pub" or "The Keg". Was very disappointed when the water wheel and indoor ice rink were removed. I did get to skate on that, can't beleive how small it was when I see pics of it now.

Mt Snow will have a new GM for next season...current one is moving to Broomfield to be VP of some department in corporate.

VP of maintenance and project planning for the entire company

So was that the big news you teased everyone about? Or is it something else more than that? Inquiring minds want to know!

 

[GregoryIsaacs]

Not the worst news for Mt snow. It seems that most “planning” nowadays comes from CO regardless…. At least the person in charge of that will have been there before. Good luck Tracy!

So the Vail GM musical chairs continues.

IDK how wall street hasn't picked up on how alarming this trend is...

Does Missouri have any more GMs to spare?

Local GM from roundtop is moving to Western PA to oversee 3 new resorts. It was unclear from my buddy whether he would be the GM of all 3 or oversee the existing 3 GMs.

So yes today was musical chairs at Vail apparently

that ufo gondola is fucking awesome. i love weird 60s future retro style.

Dear Vail: replace the Summit Triple at Attitash with the monorail they had proposed and sort of half-built in the 60s, you cowards.

Anyone here ever ski that line? Probably overgrown now…

Recruiting ski management talent from the huge ski state of….Missouri.

That line is still there as the trail Straight Shot. Its narrow, but not very steep. Typically open once there is enough natural snow. Only the bottom portion is now grown in were they built the mountain coaster.

I'd be OK with Vail moving mgmt from Mad River Mountain OH to NH. Place was in better shape than Crotched and open 7 days/5 nights a week. What they hell, that's in Ohio!

In all fairness, Atticat's new manager is a New Hampshirite. So maybe there is hope.

 

[snoseek]

Again probably one of the deepest days of the year and no lift lines at the cat which seems weird. I bet tomorrow is insane.

Overall they seem to be doing better now there's snow, the quad ran (even a bit early) and at this point that's all I care about. I would like to know their thought process on blasting guns on pole cat in the middle of a storm lol tough day for the novices no need to make it any harder.

 

[IceEidolon]

Make snow before their crew goes back home, probably.
