Some interesting info about the chair incident at Attitash. https://unofficialnetworks.com/2025/02/03/details-emerge-attitash-chairlift-detachment/

For sure! When I was at Steamboat last year you had to be observant and know it was owned by Alterra/Ikon--- everything had an independent look and feel. Also as you know ~3/4 of Ikon Pass mountains are done via partnership of some type, not ownership so they are really independent. Very...

Wow that's scary! I'm sure we've all been on some chairs that are very high at some points where a fall like that would have been death. Hope the person is okay!

That's because you have a fully developed frontal cortex 😁

Yup hoping so. But here in ROC we have near 40 today with rain showers, followed by high teens overnight. Rain and 43 again on Monday. Followed by colder for Tues & Weds. Then rain showers and near 40 again on Thurs. But holding out hope-- cold has been more persistent this winter so maybe...

Nice photo's! Not sure if you're looking for other places to visit after skiing Bristol but Brew and Brats at Arbor Hill is pretty good also.

The early February pattern is looking a bit reminiscent of what we've experienced the previous recent winters. Warm up with rain followed by cold and dry. Hopefully not, but that's what the 10 day forecast looks like right now.

Ugh rain. I hadn't noticed. If it rains much tomorrow it might be a hard pass for me then. I'm gonna make the most of my 6 passes :)

Great point about running the Rocket Triple in the evenings instead of the Galaxy quad--- same staffing. I'll write something up and send it over to Dan. Thanks for the discussion. Keep your high quality updates coming! I love to read them especially this Friday since I may go Saturday to use...

I must sound like a grump 🤣 Anyway I agree Johnny that while not running the Galaxy chair technically only eliminates 1 run, my beef is it takes out the best top to bottom intermediate/advanced run on the mountain. Also of significance the Galaxy HS quad allows you to not only access...

I hear you but it's just part of a long beef I have w/Bristol management taking things away, which devalued our season passes which in turn made me and friends spend less $$$--- like dropping season passes and lockers around 8 years ago. Things like shortening operating hours and closing the...

I like this letter to the editor. https://www.parkrecord.com/2025/01/26/time-to-sell-resort/

If you're talking about the gel shot (Hyaluronic acid) there's basically no recovery time. I had one in September and went about normal activity within a day. However it will take several weeks to a couple of months to realize the full benefit. Basically it mimics your bodies natural joint...

Well at least now I'm open on 2/9/25. The season is over and I'm done with football until next season.

Problems just keep rolling in for Fail... https://coloradosun.com/2025/01/24/vail-resorts-ski-patroller-raises/ On another note was talking to someone with relatives that used to live in Stowe. They said Fail has adversely impacted living in Stowe.

Thank you for ongoing updates. Sounds like things are in great shape. I might have to go in a couple weeks once I get back from Taos. Hopefully we don't get a thaw and rain anytime soon. I sure hope the rumor of making Polaris & Northstar the race trail. But it would be just like Bristol mgt to...

Holiday Mountain and the new owner Mike Taylor was featured on the Storm Skiing Podcast in early December. Mike sounds like a guy who's business I'd want to support. I hope they do well.

I didn't quite get it either. But here's one that provides a bit more insight. https://www.powder.com/news/vail-resorts-unlawful-practices-investigation In the Seeking Alpha report, it was noted that in reassigning patrollers from other Vail-owned mountains such as Breckenridge, Keystone, and...

Vail Resorts Faces Potential Securities Fraud Probe Following Park City, UT, Patrol Strike https://snowbrains.com/vail-resorts-faces-potential-securities-fraud-probe-following-park-city-patrol-strike/

^That! Vail changed the free market dynamics by owning large portions of it--- in many cases after these people were employed. Like I said before, I've often been at odds with organized labor, but this is one of those times I support them 100%. As corps get bigger and more dominant I find...
