Also, I agree that's a stupid policy. Local law enforcement should be *required* to tell ICE that it's picked up illegal/undocumented migrants.
No can do in a sanctuary city.

Re: monday 2/19 report

Pretty good 3 day weekend: 6” of snow to kick it off on Saturday, snow making on OL and SS, most of the trails open, no major operating snafus. Maybe I’m setting the bar too low. Saw Mike was bussing tables in KBL, which is a bit of, “okay this austerity thing has gone too far”, but oddly reassurin...

Re: sunday 2/18 report

Another good day at the Platty. Sold out and cars parked a half mile down the access road. Yet no line on the double and maybe a 5-10 minute wait for the triple. The best part was not feeling like you’re going to get mowed down by a yahoo. The trails definitely handle the uphill capacity well (even ...

Re: How bad were the lift lines today 2/17 ?

I snagged this picture off the Hunter webcam late morning… IMG_7140.jpg No blackout there! As bad as that is, total sh*t show and all, it is a blackout day on most Epic passes. Yikes. Tomorrow is as well. Ah. I have an Epic Local which isn’t blacked out. I just assumed that was for all. Now I see t...

Needles Eye Quad status?

All the complaining here really sucks. I hate it more than Killington’s lift issues.

mike on the snowmaking plan

1. The Superstar chair has been discussed as our next replacement but it is not happening this spring – therefore – has no impact on snowmaking. If superstar is the next chair to be replaced and it is not this year, does that mean there are no new chairs this year? Or, is superstar replacement defe...

49-50 or “failed 50-49”… six of one and a half dozen of another. ;)
