COVID nor'easter

It looks like Plattekill is going to get thumped by this one. I’d be skiing there for sure if I lived out east.

A guy we do business with was talking about driving up to Stratton [from NJ] if the storm really delivers. He'd stay in an AirBnB. Under this scenario, no way he would meet VT's quarantine requirements. Personally, I don't want to go down that road.

I know a few folks from NY like this. I'm encouraging them to go to VT; fewer skiers in NY.

30 inches of snow at Wild Wings in Peru VT and still coming down. They usually don't get as much as Prospect. Scared to see how much h Prospect has.

News on the radio announced 41" reported in Binghampton, NY. I-84 looks mostly closed from Middletown, NY, to Scranton, Pa.

Magic showing 20" at the base and still snowing.

Waited too long to buy tickets . . . Plattekill, Hunter and Windham all sold out for this weekend.

I bet there’s a spike in season pass sales after this storm, and the reality of sold out weekends setting in....at least for mountains that are still selling season passes.

Bimmington, seen it called that too. My street still isn't plowed, maybe another skiless day off tomorrow. I tried to escape today, but my lack of ground clearance did me in. A taller all wheel drive vehicle had made a path down the hill, but still too much snow for mine. Made it about 20ft down the hill. Relieved to return it to the driveway.

But, essentially, a season pass is now a multi resort pass for many mountains. Humter=Epic, Sugarbush=Ikon. But, you still have to reserve. That's the rub.

I read on TGR that Jackson and I think Big Sky are reserved all weekends through the end of February. This, I think, will hurt "season pass" sales, because a lot of people are going to think twice about buying what is now a restricted pass.

If you have a pass you can get a reservation
