Lines weren't bad at Mt Snow on the 26th. Could be that all these Vail Sucks threads are making the Epic Pass a more awesome deal than ever.

Due to cold I rode 7x on Buebird as a single and never waited more than 5 minutes. Also nice that there is an enclosed magic carpet ride.up from the free parking in lot E.I think the only "lines" I waited in yesterday that were more than a hand full of chairs or so, were for the new Sunbrook Quad a few minutes after it opened (the other 4 times I rode it it was ski on), the Heavy Metal Triple shortly after Nitro went on hold a little after noon (Nitro had been maybe 1 or 2 groups in each of the 4 queue lanes prior to that late morning) and then the couple of times I rode the Bluebird to get out of the wind for a few minutes, and even then the Bluebird was closer to 5 minutes than 10 minutes with maybe 4 or 5 groups in each queue lane. Sundance was ski on the 4 times I rode it, Never made it over to the Northface yesterday as I am just not a fan of the shadows and flat light over there this time of the year over most of the length of the runs.....
Likley going to be a different story today, as I was driving home to CT yesterday afternoon, there were lots of non green license plate vehicles with full ski racks heading North. Haven't heard anything from my wife and kids yet today who are out on the hill currently.
Things will likely be BUSY through Friday now, and then the masses will start heading back to the flatlands for New Years Eve parties as typically happens during X-mas week
Sundance lift was "discovered" at approx 10:30 today.
Anyone at the Cat? 12 trails (2 runs?) versus 56 at Sunday River…
Lines mostly disappeared there after the GSE opened.Kind of hoping that it was going to take the masses a little longer to get what a great addition that lift will be for getting people up the mountain...
That's because they're only 50% open...................Hunter is a zoo. I have never seen so many people on the parkway after the north express drop off to the bottom. I immediatly left - only to see an ambulance and a paramedic at the base. Oh, and at 11 there were at least a hundred people buying passes and still poring in from the lot....
snow was good, but to many people........
The bar had been set pretty low.The few times I've skied Wildcat have been a positive experience so far. Things are looking better at Attitash as well although I haven't gone there yet. Sunapee opened Sunbowl today and Crotched back to normal operating hours. Overall I'm happy with NH operations this year so far after last 2 years disaster.
The higher entry pay has to be the biggest factor IMO.
"I forced this guy to. He owed me some money."LOL I want to know why they took that photo...
Which lift is that?getting the attitash treatment at Roundtop with 1984 Dopp Triple. Last season it started surging at full speed so they ran it at half speed for the entire season. No "EPIC LIFT UPGRADE". Chatter was that it was to be replaced this summer and now said chatter is saying its not happening. The thing is still running half speed and broke down this morning for a few hours.
