It could be worse. You could live near Jiminy Peak. It was closed Monday-Friday, made snow with plans to reopen this weekend, opened Saturday and then abruptly closed mid day during the freezing rain FOR THE SEASON without any post on its website or FB page. First announcement was 4:22 pm...

And yet no one has answered the important questions. HOW MUCH? Is it pow or cement?

Skating Cedars is the perfect warmup for your first run.

Accuweather now predicting 6-10 for Gore. I skied Bromley yesterday on the 6+ new they had gotten since Sunday night. They left all the blacks on the east side ungroomed, it was pretty sweet.

Today was a great day of skiing. A January day in late March, complete with 1-2 inches of overnight snow, and the cold and wind were not too bad. Everything that was groomed and then topped with the freshies skied great. ROTD Open Pit and Sagamore, though I never got to the Topridge pod. I...

The Tuesday marketing report is already up at 2:55 on the website. Lies and Hawkeye are listed as groomed and open, Rumor and Chatiemac ungroomed and closed. The ultimate decision of whether a trail is open is up to the ski patrol that inspects it. Probability that it gets communicated to...

About 8 feet tall. The sphere is about 3 ft diameter.

Anyone know WTF this is? Alien spacecraft? Metal sculpture? Scientific instruments? It sits in a short unnamed trail between the Twister/Upper Sleighride junction and Showcase.

We did exactly what you suggested, got several runs there before moving on to other pods. For some perspective on the effect of the wind at other areas, at Whiteface Facelift, Gondola, Summit Quad, Little Whiteface, and Lookout were closed all day. At Bromley the summit lifts were on wind hold...

Take the marketing report, both the afternoon before and the “morning update,” with a large dose of salts. It appears that the narrative at the top and the lift/trail status lists below are prepared by different staff possibly at different times, and the probability of accuracy of both/either...

FYI the mountain opens from bottom to top. It’s not unusual for the ropes to drop on trails to the summit lifts until well after 9am on a normal day, let alone one where everything’s buried in 10-20 inches. I concur with Campgottagopee, some pharmaceutical relief may be in order.

Plus even if they arrived when they were supposed to it takes some time to clear the lifts ofa foot+. First world problem.

We skied everything that was open at Burnt Ridge and Ski Bowl today and it looks like Paradox between the bridges is cooked. Today was likely the last day for Ski Bowl access, but they might be able to keep Backwoods open by routing traffic across both bridges and down the left side of Roaring...

Crisis management. After numerous complaints about snowmaking and grooming quality and a whistleblower complaint, ORDA sent the Belleayre boss up there to kick ass and take names.

Don’t hold your breath. Even ORDA moves with lightning-like speed compared to the glacial pace of Mets management.

Coming soon to a Saddle Lodge near you. Or maybe kicking out the Waffle Cabin? Or the food vendor in the $30 million Ski Bowl Lodge?

We are post covid. We’re now in the long gradual response to climate change. So let’s expand to a LOWER elevation. What could go wrong?

Hudson chair is not the problem. It is comparable in length, vertical, age (except High Peaks) and speed to the other fixed chairs. If a detachable lift replacement is so necessary, why was High Peaks replaced with another fixed grip? Ski Bowl now has a double black as steep as Lies and two long...

Burnt Ridge used to be the “secret” pod, not any more . I skied it last Wednesday, probably lightest crowd of the holiday week, and found the trails fairly crowded, with a short line at the lift. We had just come from Ski Bowl, which was deserted, in spite of it being the holiday week near the...
