What in the world is going on at wildcat…

I wouldn't expect state intervention without a broader antitrust action or an actual closure announcement.

Unless Vail completely flops on Sunapee, state will do nothing. If Vail makes a mess of Sunapee and doesn't service that well, that may spark the Ire of NH politicians. Sunapee is after still a State Park Vail leases from the state.

Didn’t even know they had any of their own snowmakers this year lol

Did you?

I did. All three of them. Hopefully just a rumor and hopefully there is more then 3

Plot thickens... are they the same 3 as at Attitash? Or separate crews this season?

As long as the Sununu family is running Waterville Valley and is in the Governors Office in Concord, on some level I would think that if other resorts in NH aren't firing on all cylinders, that they won't mind. Especially with that new bubble 6 going in at WV for next season and the expansion potentially being talked about down to the village

Were the guns running today? That's probably the answer to the the rumor.

I see guns running right now, on the mtn cam, when a snow cat with lights on went by a gun, somebody is making snow

 

[Mainer]

Or they have no one to shut off the guns. The post the other day saying that patrol and ski school were helping with snowmaking didn’t sound good though. Wildcat used to get a lot of employees from the Gorham/Berlin area, what happened?

Fortunately NH is not CT.

Vail. That is what happened.

Here we are again. They do own Waterville, but are not actively running the resort currently. White Peaks was definitely long due for replacement (it is a very early Poma HSQ and not really supported any longer) and being that they went with MND for that company's first NA Detach install, I bet they got a huge discount. Plus, they need to try and keep up with Boyne at Loon. Kanc 8 is likely only the tip of the iceberg on upgraded bubble chairs there.

Really hope that’s not the case… I’m thinking of deferring my pass for this year at this rate. Also have the ikon which I can hit SR, Loon. Cannon is a possibility as well

Can you still defer for any reason? If so yeah you probably should.

Also are they seriously not making snow today in this cold? Man things are really broken...I hope it snows in January so I can get up there.
