Not a powder day today, but still great skiing. I skied most of what was open. Snow got a bit sticky, but it didn't really bother me. Run Count: 8 Burnt Ridge 5 High Peaks 5 North 4 Straightbrook 3 Gondola 3 AE2 Total of 28 Pictures:

Did they run the diesel tank dry? Hopefully it's not done for the season.

They claim its closing due to lack of Starr, but they'll rent it out for 7k. Absolute BS what they're doing. Bunch of fucking liars.

After roasting two other resorts for having inexcusable operational failures on a busy day, it's time to comment on the place I actually skied at. Today was my best day this season. The whole mountain was open, including all glades. I skied a lot of terrain that I hadn't been on all season. Not...

Karma for cutting everyone in line yesterday? Gore was awesome yesterday. I'm not sure why they fell flat on their face today.

I have been less than impressed with Sugarbush under Alterra. The Heaven's Gate and North Ridge lifts are both on their last legs. Both were scheduled for replacement in 2024, but then they pushed North Ridge back to 2025. This was completely foolish and if it breaks down for an extended period...

Sounds like everyone got gored. Did anyone ride Burnt Ridge before it broke down? Was it running on electric or diesel?Did either Burnt Ridge or Hudson ever reopen? Yesterday, Burnt Ridge was running normally to start the day, but it was having frequent stops were it would take 4 or 5 attempts...

I went to Burnt Ridge after one run on AE2. Good to see what North looked like had I gone there instead. I'm glad both were open right from the start.

I rode North twice last weekend, but did not ride High Peaks. Today, I decided I'd rather take more laps on High Peaks since the snow was really good up there.

I didn't boo them, so no need not to like the whole post. I thought it was hilarious how quickly the bust happened. I had just passed that intersection on the lift seconds earlier and didn't see any patrollers. He came out of nowhere. I'm not sure if anyone's pass was taken as I was too far...

Run count: 8 High Peaks 6 Burnt Ridge 5 Straightbrook 5 Hudson 2 Topridge 2 AE2 1 Gondola Total of 29 High Peaks side of the summit was better. The Straightbrook side was more skied off. Same story with Uncas and Topridge. I even got in some glades, Dark Side Glades, Darby Woods, and...

I feel like Gore just missed the heavier snow bands. It's unfortunate. Still great skiing today.

Ski bowl was also good. After lunch, I'll mostly be on the summit.

Pow, but definitely underperformed what they were initially forecasted for. But it's still dumping. Free refills all day.

ORDA treats the racers like they're above everyone else. At Killington, they don't get to load early or cut the line. There's a race on Lower Echo, so they're going in from Twister. North and Burnt Ridge were open at 8:30. I went to Burnt Ridge. Sagamore was excellent. Went to ski bowl after a...

Today, they did get the AE2 open 10 minutes early, instead of 15 minutes late like the last time. Gondola is down, and we the entire lift line booed the racers when they let them on early, which was well deserved. Probably going to do Burnt Ridge and the ski bowl early and the summit later in...

Snow coverage seemed to hold up well on the upper mountain, but was fading fast down low. I missed High Peaks today, but skied all other parts of the mountain. Spring conditions everywhere. It was uncrowded with the Ski Bowl and Burnt Ridge especially deserted. BRQ running on diesel again. I...

Looks like a Van de Graaff generator, which you might've seen in science class way back when.

Many ski resorts have progressive openings, meaning not all lifts or terrain open at the same time. That's not a problem, as long as the posted hours are adhered to. The problem is that Gore often missed the posted hours. Until there are upper lifts open, the out-of-base lift capacity is 0...

I was in no way complaining about the number of people who showed up. I've definitely seen it more crowded. My point is that if so many customers can be there early to ski, then so can the employees needed to open the lifts on-time. It's a recurring issue for Gore and I'm far from the only one...
