See the Bristol thread. They don't run the Galaxy and Sunset chairs all the time, although the terrain is accessible if you don't mind a little hiking or poling. The Rocket triple is only run on as "as needed" basis on weekends or if the Comet detach has issues.

A woman I know hiked up and skied down this week.

Just going by the website, they were closed during the week, so I'd say last Sunday. Any HV skiers want to confirm?

Checked at the website out of curiosity. Looks like Holiday Valley is done.

Sunday 3/30.

Bristol is done for the season.

FYI-Bristol is calling it a season.

Enjoy!!

Shot of Rocket from the Bristol webcam this AM. I'm gonna use the cliche' "The odds of Bristol opening this weekend are slim to none and Slim just left town"................

That sounds like the "Big Lou" commercial............... :)

Probably the final day for the 2024-25 season. Closed M-F this week with "TBD" for the weekend, but the only trail that could possibly make it is U/L Rocket-the rest are too thin to survive. Didn't rain too hard, in fact there were a few periods without rain. Thin and mud on Comet and U/L...

No real change from yesterday except for no sun. Trails were slightly firm-I started earlier today and soon softened up. Skied until about 1:00-the Loop was getting slightly sticky in spots, but all else good if somewhat piled up. Bunch of diehards were enjoying the last few days of the Bristol...

Bluebird spring skiing day. Got out late (around 10:00) and found soft snow. Early guys said the groomers were nice at 9. Skied until around 1:15 and things were getting slightly piled up, but still lots of fun. Starting to get slightly sticky in a few spots, but old achy legs and knees said...

Skied at Copper quite a few times the first two weeks of this month. The American Flyer chair (detachable 6 with bubble) has no way to put your arm around the back and the seat has a sort of forward lean. It's long and bounces in the middle. Not a fun ride with the bar up............. I usually...

The only two days they didn't run it this year (once the trails opened) were Mon-Tues. Actually it was great in some ways-those of us who were willing to do a little hiking/poling ( and/or tuck at the bottom of Northstar) were rewarded with fresh groomers. Sometimes you'd be the second or third...
