As somone who grew up in Dummerston and learned to ski at MV I find your characterization of the locals pretty offensive. Try to have a little respect for the people who make your vacation possible...

Yeah, what the heck is up with that? I live in Vermont, myself!
Uh, if I had the bucks, believe me, I would. BTW, the next Ski Diva Mystery, FADE TO WHITE, comes out January 4.

Whaleback has hardly been turned into a park. They do have a park and market to young new-school types, but 90% of the hill is the same as it ever was. The owner, Evan Dybvig was an Olympic mogul skier.
Correct! The info I found was from 2009.
Whoa...totaly missed the comment on "the locals". That's not the case. Everyone we've met out there has been really really really nice. The contractor neighbor went above and beyond with the job he did...even went back to the house to leave a key out for the cable co. Another neighbor cut up a tree of ours that fell over his driveway..then slit it and gave us the wood. We're only up there two or so days a week, but I feel I know those neighbors better than the ones we have in CT.

As I recall, the guy owns a horse farm nearby, too that his daughter runs. His two sons live in Florida and do real estate development (or did 3-4 years ago). Looked back then like they were rationalizing dad's estate and selling off as many pieces as they could.
Yep...there is a horse farm. The same neighbor and I were talking about ATVing and he mentioned the horse farm being owned by the Maple Valley guy. Maybe it's in his daughter's name. I didn't see any other property under the Maple Valley last name in the town records.

Good thread, I was wondering what was going on with this place when I visited it last month.
We've driven by Maple Valley these past two weekends. It looks like the lodge has been repainted/touched up. Also, the sign in front of the lodge looks touched up. It looks like they've painted the lower drive units (bull wheel ect) and the first tower of each chairlift. Also, they've mowed the lower portion of the ski trails.

So I drove past MV on the way home from Magic.
Here are some pics. Suffice to say whoever painted the lift bases wasn't interested in quality. They spray painted as far as they could reach, and got it on the sheaves and the haul rope, not something one would normally do.
The lift itself looked like it would never pass inspection, something I heard from others today.

The liftline is grown in quite heavily. The ski-able base area was recently mowed as was previously reported. The online for-sale ad is no longer operating, but all the "sprucing up" hints at prettying the window dressing for a sale.
