TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 Staying Thursday-Sunday at the eastern slope inn 3rd week of Jan. We are skiing Friday and sat. Cranmores website I’d like $180 bucks for 2 days. Does that seem outrageous to anyone? Where would discounts be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a multi mountain pass model these days. $90 a day is actually reasonable for a Friday and Sat (is that MLK weekend?). Might seem like a lot for some place like Cranmore but single day tickets are considerably pricier at destination resorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was a bashing of Stowe on the skiology Facebook group based on total false info by the guy who runs it and the “vail sucks” crew. Wonder if they’ll do the same for jay. There were comments like “I bet they didn’t do maintenance” by people who have no clue. Might be a good weekend to chase southern vt and catskills anyway. . There was so much cringe on that page when it only had a thousand people, can't even imagine now. No different than some dude on youtube making crypto videos, all about the clicks. Bummed to be sitting this storm out but still only about 7 weeks post-op and definitely not close to skiing yet. Hopefully in another 2 weeks or so, let the woods get some base in them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanical parts in highly unforgiving environments and ski areas don’t just stock 100% replacement parts on their shelves. Regarding the differences in skier opinions, a friend passed this along that was funny. I’ve been enjoying the Lookout Double though, going old school and it’s kept the majority of people away. Some skiers seem insulted they can’t get a high speed ride up to literally the same open terrain, ha. Not ideal to be waiting on parts but at least there’s a lift that still goes there. I really hope they don't replace the Fourrunner anytime soon but I think it is only a matter of time until this horrific thing gets installed and all the wind holds that go with it.

Lots of bitching and whining too.Anytime you miss a two foot powder dump has to suck, but you might be back just in time for the goods if this pattern holds.

bwt3650 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Nice to see the HRRR and NAM with 20-30" for Mount Snow and Stratton tomorrow. Anyone heading up? I'm hoping that since the bulk falls by Friday afternoon Rt 9 and 100 shouldn't be too much of a sh*tshow Saturday AM. Temps should be in the 20s for most of the event which should prevent it from being a total blue bomb thankfully. Stratton on Monday for the leftovers..

Same with the top of Starr unless you are skier side left and all of the National headwall at Stowe. I can think of a few times National's headwall was grippable because the snow was all natural, but it's rare 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston Bulldog Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Have a ticket for Magic tomorrow, nervously awaiting the news regrading power.

CT Rain Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Mt Snow was exceptional today. Powder stashes all day. One of the better days I’ve had there- even hit the trees off Olympic on the North Face a few times. Guessing about 2ft fresh there. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grooming and some random snowmaking help but it’s not like everything can be resurfaced. It becomes tough with snowmaking too if expansion or resurfacing and how to allocate those resources. Sometimes holiday week is just making sure as much as possible is open instead of snowmaking again on already open terrain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
