Ahh ok. Thanks for the explanation. That’s interesting. What you say would make sense at Killington if they have access to a small strip above 3k where you only have to worry about the snow making. The nice thing about Stowe is that you can fall back on the best snow in the east. Not a bad thing to brag about.
So it seems Stowe doesn’t do that. Is there a reason? I understand the hope of generating more of a buzz during mid season. I get it’s a PR issue. I just sort of role my eyes about it, but that’s me. I’m not a ski operator.
Because we are in a mild climo period and all that snow is going to off and on torch into glacial crap until later in November. I don’t have a hard on for skiing early so that’s just me.
So you think it helps basically during the real season? I just don’t see how getting a handful of hard core skiers a week helps them in any way at this moment.
There is something about being the “lucky” unexpected one to jack. I remember feeling that, after the long duration Feb 2015 storm. I did not expect that much snow. I had to take a walk to admire what transpired.
