Look what they just posted to Facebook. Those whales aren't exactly huge.

I'm not quite sure what that means. Does it mean that the VT Tram Board says that the inspection isn't done yet? It's rather vague.

friday - they announce that the final step in inspection didn't occur. everything was done but the electrician who had to sign off called in sick. since it is a holiday weekend and OT rates for electricians are high the will wait until Tuesday to get him back out.

I've been asking them since yesterday morning via email & FB what lift tickets will be & crickets so far... They know they're only going to have 1 way down with Trick>SO (if that), so why not name the price so people can plan? One would think you'd have that sorted out so people that want to give you money can. One would think...

This is really weird. If the Red Chair was inspected, wouldn't they say so unequivocally? It seems like they are playing games. If they aren't playing games, they are horrible communicators.

Pay the OT rate for an electrician vs getting a chair open for one of the biggest ski weekends of the year.
Hmmm, seems like it would be money well spent to me.
If they answered questions or posted prices it would take the mystery out of the place. Then how would it be magical.

I'm not sure that, for day tickets, this is going to be a big ski weekend for Magic. By making so little snow they have effectively squandered MLK weekend.

At least if the mtn is open though ppl are much more likely to come and spend $ on drinks and S'mores like I'm sure they want.
True, but I know of at least a handful of people (myself & wife included) that will be buying day tickets, assuming they're fairly priced. I'd just like to know so i can figure out if I'm skiing there or not. I don't see why they can't announce a price when they know which trail will be open (assuming lift passes).
There is a somewhat sizable group of former passholders who would like to support the mountain & ski with friends on opening day. So I agree the ticket window won't be booming, but I'd like to spend some money there. They're not making it easy. I know how much a fucking wine glass costs there, how about a lift ticket??
It's not all bad. If they aren't open for skiing at least one can visit talisman traders while killing time waiting for the executive chef to show up and have some exquisite cuisine at the blt. Maybe top the night off on the shed deck. It's all part of the new magical experience. I'm really hoping they haven't sold out of the floral magic shirts.
