From my house to Gore is like 5 roads. From our place near Gore, it like 25 roads to Killington, and like 65 to Sugarbush. I'm making all those numbers up, but the idea is basically true. It makes North Central VT feel distant in my mind. I feel like driving to Jay (with a lot of 87) is easier than some of the places that are "a little closer."
Your post did not include anything about the freeze thaw situation and the post made it seem that there was no reasonable explanation for what was going on at Stratton Saturday morning. Stratton was not the only ski area with this issue. Your intense detail holds weight. You should not selectively omit your observations that might not support the 'Stratton is a shytshow' narrative.
Maybe it didn’t make the cut for Sno's top 5 b!tches of the day list, just sayin.
I already took that into account. Other ski areas delayed opening parts of the mountain, like Stratton did, and that was entirely justified given the circumstances.
If true, there's a lesson in it for Vail.
Very stoic.
