Superstar 2023

In my opinion, it should load and unload in the same place as the current lift, but the top terminal should be set higher off the ground so you don't need to skate uphill to get to Skye Lark.

It takes at least 45 minutes to put bubbles away and at least that long to put them on in the morning I don’t know where you are getting your numbers from but if you want to help it would be greatly appreciate I’m there at 6:30 every morning all winter long

No wonder the lift is always delayed then. They need better help apparently or you need to report to work at 6am please.

This likely means it will be an extra week before Superstar opens to the public after the world cup, so it would be 2 weeks after rather than one week. It's disappointing to see yet another hit on their ability to expand terrain.

Who wants to ski either of those until spring anyway?

It represents roughly a third of their open terrain that time of year, and is often the first expert terrain to open for the season. Last year, it was also their only expansion of terrain for the weekend following the World Cup. It also means they'll lag behind the competition on open terrain for even longer. Getting Superstar and Skye Lark open helped them catch up most years.

I'm with Snoloco on this one. People are itching to move on to Skye Peak by then. Most seasons you'll hear "yeah, maybe the expansion is slow in November. But after the World Cup, K shoots past everyone with open terrain". Now this season you can wait an extra week.

Don't see why it will add a week, although it might. SS is prepped for the public pretty fast after the race. Last year they didn't even blow any new snow on it, and it wasn't good. When I want to ski a sheet of ice, I go out after a r*in/freeze cycle. No shortage in the NE. My guess is they'll allow the racers on it while they're tearing down the infrastructure at the bottom of the hill. They did it with KMS last year, they're simply expanding it. The big problem will be it will draw a lot of racing teams to the hill, and they'll be using the rest of us as gates while waiting for their slot over on SS. Oh well, business as usual...

The program runs through December 3rd so that means the entire pod will remain closed until at least then.
