About 20 years ago my wife and I did this trip at the end of March. We stayed in Quebec City at the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac and skied Mt St Anne and Le Massif. It was a great trip. Staying in QC was awesome for food, visiting the Old Quebec area and interesting winter events. The drive to...

They are trying to make Burnt Ridge HSQ last 60 years.

There is already a model for this usage: the Burnt Ridge HSQ for the last 17 years. Open about mid-Jan, open on the remaining 9-10 weekends and Fridays until about mid March with a few holiday openings in the Presidents week. If there is a big natural snow year there might be some other...

It is not that simple. ORDA only took over Belleayre in 2012 from the NYS DEC and the next generation Slutzky family sold Hunter to Peak Resorts Dec, 2015. Peak then sold Hunter to Vail Sept, 2019. Belleayre's current run of success is recent history. Before 2012 Belleayre could not touch...

Headed to the top and never skied, check

I am not so sure that this will kill the industry. Having access to multiple ski areas on one $500-800 pass is pretty good stuff and is contributing to the slight growth in skier visits. Unfortunately, Vail is cheaping out on snowmaking at many of the 'less important' areas. This part of the...

Wow. What a disgrace. I never check on Hunter anymore. It is not even in my thought process. I used to grab a handful of mid-week days every year. :mad:

and the triple is spinning, too.

I just looked at the cams and saw somebody riding up the double.

Suds, you need to realize you are in an abusive, codependent relationship with Gore. You two need to go for some therapy. ;)

They opened the BRQ for the race. It was closed today and closed tomorrow even though Echo is open. That is absurd, but right on point for Gore. There is a way to get employees - its called raising the wages/benefits until you fulfill your team.

ORDA loves to build stuff at Gore but does not seem to want to operate the stuff they build. Here we are in mid January, and, right on schedule, the barely used Burnt Ridge HSQ is not operating in its 17th year since it was installed. What a joke. I see the Ski Bowl remains closed for business...

All the carpets at Stratton always have a person at the bottom loading and a person at the top unloading the carpets. The carpets are used heavily by the ski school so there are always instructors helping out with the whole operation.

Great photos. Sugarbush remains my one of my favorites in the East. Mt Ellen is an absolute gem.

Today in St Anton, Lauren Macuga won the Super-G for her first win by a large margin of .68sec. Lindsey Vonn, starting #31, finished 4th. There were so many naysayers criticizing Vonn and she just dropped a 6th in the DH yesterday and a 4th in the Super G today. It is only a matter of time until...

Great day today. Wind has mostly died down. The snow conditions are excellent. Packed powder on Drifter

Left today at 1:30pm. The Amex 6 was running slow as was the Tamarack 3. They were the only chairs running. There were some great areas of snow and some crazy wind scoured trails. The midmountain lodge was empty for lunch. Even the race kids were gone. The wind was still howling when we...

Now in the mid mountain lodge.
