You gotta bend ‘em like Beckham. Arc ‘em or park ‘em.
It’s annoying, but it’s a holiday week with limited terrain. (And almost half the people pictured are on skis, fyi)
Is that top of Cloud and new darkside chair?
Yup, the ones standing up.
Doesn’t bother me.

I really don’t know about the reconfiguration of the summit, but that seems to be roughly where people have always stopped (to strap in for snowboarding as there is finally some steady pitch for intermediate riders to use after the flat summit area, and also for people to take in the view of the High Peaks).
It would be different if it was like that half way down the pitch of topridge or something. This just seems like a herd that hasn’t dispersed from within sight of the summit cam. Like I said, busy holiday…..all in the game, yo.

Thanks for the Sugarbush & MRG recommendations. Just returned from 2 days at Sugarbush and 1 day at MRG. We lucked out big time with the weather. I think they had well over 20” since the previous Friday storm and they got 5” on Wednesday night when we arrived.
We had tickets for Sugarbush on Thursday and Friday and both days were stellar. Had some first powder tracks on Thursday morning and all day in the trees. Snow was soft and the sun came out and just made for a lovely day. Only bummer was the lift going to Mt Ellen wasn’t running. Guessing it was because it was a weekday. Wasn’t worth taking the shuttle so we didn’t explore that.
Castlerock was also not open on Thursday but it opened Friday. Apparently that peak hadn’t been open for several weeks and we got a chance to hit that several times. Some amazing runs there. The run under the lift is great but pretty tough. Was the only time I fell this weekend.
The grand finale was MRG. Lines were longer than I had to deal with all season. A combination of new snow and fears of rain today, so that kept our runs down. Man, that is one amazing mountain! The runs are some of the most technical I’ve done in my limited experience but so much fun. Bumps everywhere and glades you can actually get a little speed in. The vibe there is fantastic too. Despite the lines everyone was in great spirits. It also seems like everyone there is an amazing skier. Young, old, thin, fat, kids, families everyone can just rip it. Also amazed how little fear or concern people had going over ice and exposed rock. Saw loads of kids sending it off little cliffs like it was nothing.
We stayed in an Airbnb with 2 other families so didn’t get to explore the restaurants or anything else since we just took turns cooking meals but did get to sample some local and Lawson’s beers.
Can proudly put a “ski it if you can” sticker on my Thule now
