Johnny Law's post in New groomer was marked as the answer
400 parkpro is about 200k list price, really nice range of motion in the front and rear attachments....should be a nice addition to the group.
My guess is the logic is a new groomer is in the long range cheaper, has less risk as it only marginally adds to expense and benefits the whole mtn were as 600ft of new trail doesn't.
Energy costs are the second highest expense at Blue type resorts and 70-80% of that is on snowmaking, pumping water uphill is expensive so I'd guess you won't get investment in getting the new trail up to par until they have a good season. During the week the place is mostly empty, in my experience it's only full thurs (sort of) and Friday night and sat/sun morning afternoons.
Most of this is bs fluff but there are some nuggets about the $ situation - http://emsenv.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Blue-Mountain-Case-Study.pdf?__hssc=256830548.33.1472043258624&__hstc=256830548.405064ff4dfdcfdd9590a6b43c18f605.1459786993079.1471980468020.1472043258624.236&__hsfp=2227798652&hsCtaTracking=bd081b4f-04f4-43b7-91ef-57b56fdd0075%7Ca8b9098f-73a6-4289-adae-74b06bf806e0

That's just irresponsible and borderline crazy.
It's been around for 100's of years, they attend like 7 years of school but I'm sure it's all a conspiracy to fuck people up because your friend Beatrice didn't get better. I guess doctors are out too via the same logic...better learn how to set your own fractures.

Philly self loathing is a disaster, it's a snowball rolling down hill, reality, self these are creations of the mind and as such are heavily influenced by a choice we make barring issues of a physical nature like say a chemical imbalance.
If you choose to seek the negative than that is what you will find and that will be your reality.
Your fat whoopdeyfuckingdo, everybody's got something, your not starving in some god forsaken shit hole, your not making 7 cents a week endlessly assembling iPhones. Life is good and if you can see it for what it really is, with your eyes rather than your thinking brain it's god Damn mind blowing. A tree if you really look is the coolest weirdest fucking thing ever and when you understand that you understand everything.

Johnny Law's post in When does Elk typically close? was marked as the answer
Your missing out if you haven't skied VT, NH, NY and ME.
Western trips require planning or a really fat bankroll.
Vday 2007, a confluence of energies has produced a monster blizzard for the NE, early modeling suggested a clipper but late runs are showing crazy high snowfall. Hop in car and drive 8hrs over night to VT, have two days of full on boner city, Stowe reported 48". Magic had 27" in the first 12hrs. Two weeks later at Jay I skied another 20" by driving up the night before. I ran a full month of weekends of sickbird pow riding all because it was in my back yard.
That's what VT can do, you don't have to plan you just show up when it's going to snow. It's super cheap, I'll be in VT next weekend for 200$ plus meals. It's a shortish drive that is easy to do, smoke a j hop in the car and smoke another when you hit Albany, that trip will feel like it lasted 10mins.
Fuck your math, math is pointing at the moon and confusing that pointing for the moon. A ski trip is not the sum of a series of variables in which you punch in inputs and out pops fun, when the fuck did we all become full time bean counters. Skiing has become a bunch of WASPY fuckers who want their nob slobbed constantly......
Truth - People don't like VT because it exposes weakness in their skiing game, pick any random day at Ajax and a random day at Stowe, it's easier to get your dick hard about feeling like your a skiing Jesus at Ajax.
I think the pot is now sufficiently stirred....LOL
