Can’t wait for the “it snowed a foot last night, why wasn’t every trail open?” Posts on fb 

That and watch how many of those people yard sale all over the place when the snow gets pushed into push piles.

Someone’s already commenting about “I thought you were limiting numbers” 

The ole “what weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of cement”

Thanks for getting pics. Was absurd lol

Sugarbush 

Mon Dec 15

- Stayed at Common Man Inn and Restaurant. Nice place with good restaurant on premises I got take out from, best I could ask for grab and go breakfast and cool waterfalls out back to walk around.

 

Okemo was best of 3 ski days as they had a lot more opened. Again no lines and no prob riding even 6 person bubble loft solo all day. Nothing real challenging (or even to the level of Centerline - the black that was open at Stowe) but a great cruising day - got in over 22k vertical. 

Don't know why I started this report saying "Sugarbush" - it was actually Okemo as stated later in report

I can't imagine that wont' be thinned out a lot with the quad and six pack running though. 

I'm still not sure what to think about that with them not pairing strangers up. I thought limited ticket sales would assuage the crowds, but not the case today.

How long are those lift lines taking? 

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

Had been thinking about hitting Blue today having just dug out - given the limited terrain at Frost. But those pix changed my mind. May well do JF. Have the day off. Beats not skiing.

lift line is starting to go up main street.  

[Ride Delaware ?]

What was the final snow tally?

Limited is a relative term. Limited to what? As many as they can sell?

Oh Lordy.  I knew selling 700 morning tickets on a sort of pow day along with prob half the season passholders was gonna be trouble. Damn Shadows.

Well they had the normal 300 or so AM tickets for sale which was sold out by Tuesday night so they released another 400+ tickets that’s for AM and for this afternoon they sold another 700 or so.  That’s a lot of people for three slow doubles where most are riding single. 

[Benm]

Vista line. Was not nearly that bad when I passed it earlier. 

People are skiing everything.

Yeah WTF you’re lucky I’m not a mod or that post would have been Zapped

[saltyant]

What's the rate today? $80? I cant imagine paying that to stand in line 90% of the day. And I got a gift card when I paid $39.....

They are. 

Not sure about limited tix. I pulled in 10 min ago and still can't find parking. 

I cringe at the thought of the lift lines. 

Wow you sleep in???

Well guess the country club dayz were short lived.

They’ll be back when the quad and six pack open tomorrow.  They oversold tickets today and seems like every season passholder came out of the woodwork.
