Didn't notice that in skier visits. They must make a fortune in the bars.

I kept my money over the river this winter. No pass. No bar and food bill. (sorry uncle Sal) All materials for work in VT were bought out of state. Anything I needed was brought in from out of state. Booze, lumber, food , fuel and etc. VT can suck it. Quarantine was not being upheld. Go back through and look at this site. Bay one parties still happen. F the VT the Governor with a stick.

As much as I enjoy untracked snow, it is sad how empty Cannon was all season midweek. I think I'll try to research what their assumed visits were when the season ends. I'll be happy sharing the slopes with others spring skiing at Killington, not many good mogul runs created with the lack of people at Cannon.

Skiing in Vermont is not the same without the party.

Looking forward to next year.

That and they groomed Upper Hardscrable. Why??!!! The cats got Lower Hardscrable when they added snowmaking there!

Gov Scott finally comes to his senses with a practical rule concerning travel into VT:

The state of Vermont has recently updated their travel restrictions. Beginning tomorrow, Friday, April 9, visitors to Vermont no longer need to quarantine as long as they have a negative COVID test within 3 days of entering the state.

Overall K seemed to retain its usual crowds, but Xmas, MLK, and Presidents were definitely less crowded than previous years, and I think that accounts for a lot of revenue. You also had a slow start to the snow season in Dec/Jan so that couldn't have helped either. But keep in mind the article is talking about VT totals not K totals, and this thing probably hit K a lot less hard than it did many other places, like Jay.

Weekends were way down. Put full chairs up on the hill and there would have been no lines anywhere.

Weekdays looked way up. Monday was the old Friday.

Agree on Jay - they had a great local year.

Mountain did a great job in spite of the small crowds. Kept the guns going.

Looking forward to next year and the new K1.

im betting most of the mountains lost out on $$$ mainly from the lack of bars and highly curtailed food and beverage. alcohol is where the money is made.

Do u need a test if you got vaccinated?

[PinnacleJim]

No quarantine to enter VT if you are "fully" vacinated.
