Bolton Valley Question

[gpetrics]

Does anyone know if Bolton Valley typically keeps the Wilderness lift closed weekdays?

I follow their snow report fairly regularly, and this is my observation, but I was wondering if anyone who is at the mountain regularly could clue me in if this is common knowledge.

Thanks!

Last year, we stayed there for a few days, and they ran it in the mornings only. It was usually shut down by noon. On the weekend, it ran most of the day.

Overall, the place was pretty empty both week and weekend.

According to the lift ticket page:

* On weekends and holidays all lifts with terrain available will run.
* The Timberline Quad, Vista Quad, Snowflake Double, and Mighty-Mite handle tow will run everyday that weather and surface conditions allow.
* Wilderness is not scheduled to run Monday thru Thursday. Mid-Mountain is not scheduled to run Monday and Tuesday.
* Wednesday thru Saturday we stay open until 8pm for night skiing on 9 trails. (Please note: there will be no Night Skiing for the final week of the season--March 20th to April 3rd.)

It's my home mountain, so I'm up there quite a bit, and I have no idea what chevling is talking about with the "mornings only" observation. It can get windy up there, so maybe those were wind holds?

Its quite possible that they were wind holds. This was last year, so I'm just stating what I remember.

in any case thanks for that Chesser. I guess I didn't look hard enough on my own.

appreciate your help.

It is a great mountain for early season for the East given the snow they get, but limited terrain since they don't open Timberline until Christmas week. At least, they did not open it this year.
