I have always heard good things. I find it funny when naive people going there think they are going to the Canadian Rockies or something. Top elevation is 2875. That’s pretty low even being a little further north. It’s still an east coast mountain with east coast weather issues.

I’m on my way to Stratton as we speak and spend a ton of time there. Normally I would say pass on MLK but there is a brand new top to bottom 6 person lift opening before then. It’s going to revolutionize the mountain by spreading crowds. This new snow bowl lift will service some of the longest and easiest beginner trails in the east. I’m talking easy enough for a first time beginner. And then of course there is the Tamarrak area which is very large for a pure beginner area with tons of cool trails with bridges and tunnels. Yes lodging at the base is expensive but try black bear lodge. Awesome apres ski hot tub and reasonable prices. It’s also walking distance to the base and town area. (They have shuttles too). Grooming and snow making are as good as it gets too!!! Impeccable clean with a nice family vibe and the only gondola, highest peak and most vertical in southern Vermont looking forward to a couple fun days myself. Hopefully New Year’s Day isn’t another disaster

I’ll be there tomorrow, I’ll find out the details and let you guys know. I bet they weren’t running the gondola for passengers at the time anyway.

I’m really bummed about this Friday. I haven’t been up to Vermont in 2 weeks and I’m planning on staying Friday night through Monday. I think the pack can survive but the real question is does it soak up a ton of water and then freeze up. That’s the ultimate disaster like we saw last presidents weekend.

Yeah your right, I should have clarified that I’m a weekend warrior. At least I scored 4 times already. It’s going to be a bitch going from mid winter conditions to starting the season over again.

Next week looks like complete disaster. I’m taking the weekend off but for anyone that’s skiing or ridding this weekend enjoy!!

Awesome! Considering I have driven past bromley 100 times and have never ridden there I’m intrigued. I know they call it the sun mountain because it faces south. How was it? I’m assuming amazing considering what we had at Stratton!

I had the pleasure of capturing and witnessing true diamond dust today. ohh and today was about as perfect a day on the mountain as I have had. Blue bird with zero wind above the low cloud deck.

Sweet, I’ll be at Stratton all weekend. The reason they are reporting less snow then bromely is they only started recording it last week. I promise you they have had more snow then bromley which is much lower in elevation. Let me know if you have any questions I know the place like the back of my hand. Feel free to say hello. I’ll post a pic of myself

What an absolutely epic weekend at Stratton! Like others have said it’s deep deep winter in the mountains. Saturday was almost a bluebird day with amazing conditions. And even Sunday was great as any overnight rain had ended and snow loss was pretty much zero. The best part was I had the place to myself with walk on Gondi rides both days. First time in the woods and many lines dropped! The new snow bowl lift construction has half the mountain closed until completion though which is a bummer. let the good times continue this week!!

Absolutely epic conditions must be occurring in Saipan currently. Surprisingly the island is pretty built up. https://mobile.twitter.com/NOAASatellites/status/1055128171014709248?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^tweet

Great explenation. It’s too bad whiteface can’t do that with their summit chair. That’s the highest lift served teriran in the east.

I’ll post a ton of pics from Stratton. I did 30 days last winter and I’m shooting for 40 this year!!!

I agree but it waxes and wanes so we win some and we loose some. As long as we do not have a repeat of 01/02 where the whole country is wall to wall warmth I’m ok with loosing a couple

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. It’s going to be winter cancel and then kaaaaaaa boom

I’ll second this one

I think we need some parameters. Just “nor’easter” is too broad.

My question is, why are people A. Outside B. Driving? In legit hurricane conditions?

Best OHC in the world, that region creates monsters. You could fit Florence in Tips CDO

September 15th

She’s a bumbling moron. And I hate talking that negatively about somone. But she’s really that bad. Lee is the best in the business and Jeff smith is also top notch. Bill Evans is meh in my opinion. He’s got a good screen presence for the general public. Amy has none of the other three’s qualities which makes me really wonder how she’s lasted so long.

That’s such a classic a radar loop for you guys. The northern spine is doing its thing!!!

Glad you guys are getting the goods now too!!! That should help thin out the crowds this weekend. Nothing like a gondola ride up with Stowe locals who headed south last weekend. Stratton broke it’s all time financial record Saturday!!

I can’t wait to get back up there tomorrow night. The amount of snow has been nothing short of epic. And that was before this event. How did you do in this one?

Can someone give a rundown of local on airs for 11pm I do not have access to tv at work
