Re: Current Conditions 2200' 17/18
My thermometer (across from Pico) currently reads -16 and Weather.Com says -14 in Killington. I used to ski in these kinds of temperatures; not anymore.

I'm seeing -8 two feet away from the house and under a woodpile roof which might feel a little warmth off the outside wall (1700 feet). Car thermometer is -10.

Re: Current Conditions 2200' 17/18
Wouldn't surprise me if the hold is, at least in part, power related. Real time price is around $200/MWH and VELCO shows load trending above forecast. Request for voluntary load reductions from large customers would be normal in these conditions. GIS may know more.skiadikt wrote:from report:

Re: Current Conditions 2200' 17/18
I doubt that considering every other major ski resort in Vermont has lifts spinning right now, more likely saving money by not spinning lifts for small crowd this morning, kinda sh*t if you ask me.Bubba wrote:Wouldn't surprise me if the hold is, at least in part, power related.

Re: Current Conditions 2200' 17/18
Are you planning to ski today? I am but will only ski off the gondolas. No way do I want to sit on a lift today so I don't blame them if they don't want to run all of them. From reports this morning, there a very few people at the mountain at this time.daytripper wrote:I doubt that considering every other major ski resort in Vermont has lifts spinning right now, more likely saving money by not spinning lifts for small crowd this morning, kinda sh*t if you ask me.Bubba wrote:Wouldn't surprise me if the hold is, at least in part, power related.

Just saying that every other major ski resort in Vermont has lifts spinning except Killington.

Re: Current Conditions 2200' 17/18
Maybe all those resorts are not experiencing these extreme temperatures and winds. I saw the news this morning and Montpelier is much warmer than Rutland.daytripper wrote:Just saying that every other major ski resort in Vermont has lifts spinning except Killington.
