Based on the webcam, they did put the AE2 chairs in the shed. Not sure why they never use the sheds for the gondola and hudson. The carriers are always left on the line, so if there is any ice, then everything seizes up.

I will agree that today was not great by any means. It really depended on what was groomed later, or the small handful of trails that softened up. Anything that was groomed early was just awful if not downright dangerous. I messed up by sleeping through my alarm, waking up at 7:35. I was on the...

Not like you've ever added anything of substance to any conversation. I'd say it to anyone's face in-person. I've been on this forum for almost 13 years, so I'm old enough to remember when everyone was complaining that Burnt Ridge and the Ski Bowl weren't open enough. Now that they are open...

Oh, this sounds so familiar to the same damn thing I've been fighting for the past 9 years at Whiteface. The idea that opening Lookout would somehow put the mountain one 48 hour stretch of above-freezing temps away from complete closure. This isn't how it works. They aren't going to be in worse...

Are you capable of skiing without your tinfoil hat on? What is with the conspiracy theories about the Ski Bowl and Burnt Ridge being solely to blame for all operational shortcomings elsewhere on the mountain. They've made snow on every single summit trail except Rumor. They're so far ahead of...

And Skyward and Cloudspin. And yes, I skied them all.

They had barely even started making snow on Headwaters. And yes, there was A LOT of poaching going on. Tells me that patrol maybe should've evaluated more trails for potential rope drops. But they didn't on the summit. However, glades were open at Burnt Ridge and the Ski Bowl.

I wouldn't call having all lifts open on December 27th on all snowmaking to be "compromised", but there is definitely a significant issue with the snowmaking on the summit, that I have found the source of. That being said, the leak should be able to be fixed within this season. Really, the...

16 days for me so far this season. 9 at Killington, 4 at Whiteface, 2 at Gore, and 1 at Loon.

Run count for today was: 6 Hudson 6 Burnt Ridge 6 Topridge 3 Straightbrook 3 North 3 Adirondack Express 2 Gondola 1 High Peaks 30 lifts for 33543 vertical. Definitely was one of those days when the parking lots and base area looked very crowded, but most of the mountain was not. The terrain...

Looks like they are getting ready to open High Peaks, though it would be with just Wood In. I think I found the reason for the disappointing snowmaking on the summit. There is a large leak near The Saddle. You can see it spilling out onto Powder Pass. Any water that leaks out (and it is a lot)...

I would assume the aerials are at the jumping complex and not Whiteface. That is where they typically hold those events.

I was commenting on the snowmaking decisions and sequencing this season and was not asking for your climate alarmism.

They are making snow on the summit right now, so you'll have all those trails soon enough. I have already explained why the snow that was made at the ski bowl earlier could not have been made on the summit, as they are largely separate systems. The fact is it's unacceptable for such a large...

The reason a fraction of skiers ever went to the ski bowl is because it was difficult to get to, had no suitable lodge, was served by a very slow lift, and was rarely open. They simplified access (Backwoods), built a lodge, replaced the crappy slow lift, and are making efforts to have it open...

You can't claim that you dislike one slow fixed grip that stops all the time, while claiming that the replacement of a different slow fixed grip that stopped all the time was unnecessary. I'm glad they replaced Hudson because the triple was simply awful and should've been a high speed quad from...

There is a work road to the bottom of Topridge, and there is another detachable that ends in the same place on Bear Mountain. Other ski resorts have detachables in a lot harder to reach places than Topridge. Some even had entire terminals airlifted into place. There were certainly no technical...

Took a while for things to get going this morning. Gondola started on wind hold, so AE2 was the ONLY open non-beginner lift for like the first hour, and predictably, the line backed up all the way to the lodge. Instead, I opted to start with laps on the Sunway chair. Then, when the report was...

I stand corrected as they posted on Instagram that Burnt Ridge, including the interconnect, is opening tomorrow.

Not sure the plan or lack thereof with snowmaking. They are two connector trails away from opening the interconnect. Hedges and Cedars. Yet zero snowmaking there.
