It looks more like winter at Sugarbush than it does in Aspen right now.

That is heavy wet frozen mank, great for base-building but those will be some very tough runs on the downhill. No thanksQuote:

I think sammy passed due to that transition at the bottom of the stairs. Makes my back hurt looking at it. But perfect for an 11yo.
No issues with the mank, it keeps the crowd light.
a grinch total bob, just cold and windy today.
Step sledding looks awesome. If I had done something like that with my dad when I was 11, I'm certain that my mom would have killed my father on the spot, and possibly me for doing it. Nothing like a walk down memory lane.
I’m thinking that a kayak could clear the steps and shoot right down to the water.

WROD at wa wa, folks crowded together like it's 2018, not so much.
8 mos and worlds of changes after closing day at jiminy and scene looks eerily similar.
...and as for the sugarbush fishing shacks, at $400 a day wth does the bush charge for a hotel room on site??
they'd be smarter to set up reservable, heated porta-johns all over the hill. for that $400. container one still needs to mingle with the rabble at the restrooms.
Just finished clearing the driveway, it ain’t blowahQuote:

Timing is everything ^
This place is about a 2 minute walk from Henris' in the Village.Quote:

And a total of 3 [three] PJ's in the upper lot for the car lodge crowd about 100 yards from Clay Brook, long walk from the lower lots. A crew is installing support posts for a solar array in the Ruperts lot, not sure if they have their own PJ.

^^ so for an extra $29, a place to sleep, eat, running water and electricity.
but i bet they'll find takers for those shacks just the same.
fwiw that $400 is more than i used to pay for a midweek pass at MRG (when i could go to VT) , typically 10-15 county-club ski days at my favorite hill.
^^^ nice work jonathan. hooting and hollering is something i can still recall fondly!
Okemo/Vail cancelled for this year, but assured a return in '21/'22. So there's that.Quote:

I skied Whiteface Saturday and Gore today.
Whiteface was better. The snow was better and deeper which makes total sense. A few degrees matters at these temps. It was Broadway to Lower Valley to Fox. The top was in the clouds all day. The bottom was soft turny manmade that was smile inducing. I guess t-the-east is right, I had fun. The crowd was pretty small and by 11:30 there was no line at the lift.
Gore was a bit more WRODy, and there were more people riding a faster lift. It was pretty crowded. I knew it would clear out by noon, but I didn't want to ski so much in traffic until then.
Oh here's something, the new traffic pattern at Gore is ridiculously sucky.
Note to self...only go to Okemo on weekdays.Quote:

We had a term when I was coaching and we got down into some pretty bad skiing and course conditions at the back of the pack... “Rock Fight” as in two people repeatedly throwing good sized rocks at one another in anger. You don’t want to watch but you can’t bring your mind to turn away.
