Snowdon Triple sometimes runs on Saturdays. It‘s a bit random. If they’re expecting a busy weekend, yeah.

Sunrise Bar and Grill is excellent. They are open for lunch Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Dinner Friday, Saturday. Try the duck (dinner), it's exceptional.

The reason lift tickets are over $200 a day.

Stowe is more crowded. When it was privately held passes were around $1800. It wasn’t a business, it was an AIG sandbox. Cheap passes didn’t start with EPIC, they date back to ASC and the all for one era. When POWDR bought Killington they raised prices, cut snow making, opened late and closed...

https://vermontbiz.com/news/2025/june/06/vermonts-ski-areas-boast-growth-416-skier-visits-2024-25 Didn‘t notice because it’s well known recent numbers are similar.

Vermont skier/rider visits have hovered a tad over 4 million since 1980, but carry on…

I wouldn’t read to much into the size and shape of the yellow circles. Although they did put new towers on LEF it needs a lot of snow and isn’t happening on day 1. Blame the over zealous intern that made the slide.

I don’t think so. There already exists a water feed line between Homestretch and Skyeship midstation. I recall absentmindedly seeing it from the Gondi and wondering “what the hell is that?” You can see it from space! Check Google Maps or Earth, plainly visible. I suspect with the fixes to the...

Regarding Skyeship, I think it’s a mistake to set a firm date for opening. It’s low elevation: if there’s a cold snap, jump on it; if there isn’t, wait. The years when they’ve gone by “the schedule“ have been tedious; K3000s spitting slush. The towers they’ve added on Great Eastern should allow...

I’m going to give Phill Gross the benefit of the doubt: I think he wants what’s best for Killington and assume his view is that Skyeship is an important part of Killington’s allure. Peak to Creek is a rite of passage for young skiers. Home Stretch is a fun trail as is Great Eastern. Looks like...

Mike explicitly said x2 on the pipe, so unless he misspoke, that‘s the case. Kind of weird they‘re adding snowmaking to Carpenters Run. I’m guessing it’s the stretch between Home Stretch and Great Eastern. My interpretation is they plan on making snow on Home Stretch again. Nyberg shut that...

I believe it was not a lump sum payment but rather incremental as units are built and sold. Either way, it would have been factored into the selling price of the mountain, kind of like ex-dividend on a stock price.

Impressive production for a snow cone machine hooked to an ice maker.

The BW pic doesn’t look like snow either, but there was a window of an hour or so last Thursday night, so…Regardless, seems like a waste of money and water. Killington doesn’t even have guns set up on North Ridge yet. Overall, the extended forecast for the NE doesn’t look promising for an...

Killington opens with the intention of staying open, not for a day or for a weekend. Given a brief cold snap they can be beaten by anyone willing to watch their money melt down the hill. It’s been a few years since Killington even had an October opening. My expectation is that if they’re not the...

I actually think using expired trail names is a bit lame. Unfortunately there isn’t a good way with the contemporary terminology to unambiguously describe the two sections. Upper Lower Skyeburst and Middle Wildfire is definitely worse.

Mike said they made more snow than ever, but timing is everything. Post WC they pushed hard to get to Bear for Christmas but the only route down was viper pit. I’m told because of the way the snowmaking is configured they couldn’t do anti venom. It’s at best an easy black. They were going to...

Of course. But you deserve it for being an idiot. I ski pods. I go to Needles to ski Needles. I don’t go to Needles because I want to go to Bear or anywhere else. Your premise of evaluating lifts based on where else they can get you is completely ridiculous. Skyeship Stage 2 is great for leaving...

So now you admit you can get to Dreammaker from the Needles Quad?

So you quote yourself, but change what you wrote, and then tell me “C’mon, I know you know that’s obvious“.
