Sno Mountain Skier Posted January 29, 2016 Report Posted January 29, 2016 Not their last... They make more than enough money two weekends of the year when they rent the place out to Live Nation. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted January 31, 2016 Report Posted January 31, 2016 Closed today On a weekend... Ba ba ba bullshit Quote
rgrwilco Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 Don't mention it to montage online that the long haul is closed despite mountain report saying it's open. They will legit block you. 1 Quote
Rex Goliath Posted February 1, 2016 Author Report Posted February 1, 2016 Closed today.Upper and lower Fast Track closed. Don't mention it to montage online that the long haul is closed despite mountain report saying it's open.They will legit block you. WOW! taking lessons from Elk on screwing with people. It states in Elk's season pass contract that if you talk bad things they can revoke your pass. 1 Quote
rgrwilco Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 Yeah I had to add them to the official I've been screwed by this mountain list. Along with camelballsack which closed the entire mountain despite phone and website still saying they are opened. Drove all the way from philly. Not even an apology. 1 Quote
poconoceancity Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 So it has not run one day this season? Maybe it's broke and not getting fixed. 1 Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 Their premier lift doesn't run what a crock of shit. If it remains in their trail map it's false advertising. 1,000 vert yeah if you don't mind taking two lifts and skating Quote
moe ghoul Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 It's a lot like VT. Magic Mountain, VT. Quote
toast21602 Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 It's a lot like VT. Magic Mountain, VT. But without the drive. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 It's a lot like VT. Magic Mountain, VT. Is magic even open this season. Quote
Mess Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 Hope so. I am going up In about 10 days. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 1, 2016 Report Posted February 1, 2016 I saw pictures from mad river glen today and they are about to be wiped out. Quote
Rex Goliath Posted February 2, 2016 Author Report Posted February 2, 2016 Closed today.Upper and lower Fast Track closed. From their website this morning: "We’ve got 22 trails open, the only two that remain are Upper and Lower Fast Track, we’ve begun the work here, and that’ll resume once favorable temps return later this week." Quote
Rex Goliath Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Posted February 3, 2016 The whole place is closed today! Though you would be hard pressed to tell that from the Trail's report and the conditions page unless you read it carefully. Quote
Rex Goliath Posted February 3, 2016 Author Report Posted February 3, 2016 Wow, Elk's Facebook page said they closed at 12:30 today. Will this add a 1/2 day to the end of the season or does this count toward the 100 day guarantee? Quote
Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Open some is open I would say for 100 day guarantee Edited February 3, 2016 by Ski2Live Live2Ski Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 3, 2016 Report Posted February 3, 2016 Open some is open I would say for 100 day guarantee QFT!!! Quote
Rex Goliath Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Posted February 4, 2016 Closed today.Upper and lower Fast Track closed. Quote
trackbiker Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 Closed today. Upper and lower Fast Track closed. So tell us something we already know...... Why are you infatuated with this? It would just be a waste of money to run the Long Haul on a weekday without upper Fast Track open or even if it was open. The only time it makes sense to run it is on a weekend with the whole mountain open. Have you ever even skied there? I'll save you some time..... 2/5/16: Closed today. Quote
GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 Closed today. Upper and lower Fast Track closed. Not good...they should remove the lift from the trai map if it never runs. KCSki is prob shaking his Herman. Quote
Schif Posted February 4, 2016 Report Posted February 4, 2016 Eventually it'll run, and eventually I'll ride it and have plenty of time to drink an entire bomber bottle and eat a cheese plate while on the 1000 vert ride. Soon enough grasshoppers. Quote
rgrwilco Posted February 5, 2016 Report Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) I've been skiing/riding montage since I was 8. Never rode it. Edited February 5, 2016 by rgrwilco Quote
Rex Goliath Posted February 5, 2016 Author Report Posted February 5, 2016 I am growing up and live in NEPA and I was season Passholder at the original Montage for 10 years. Skied both weekend days and at least one night a week. I spent my time lapping the North Face and cruising Fast Track and RunAway. White Lightning had not been cut yet. As the urban sprawl grew up around the mountain it began to feel less and less like a skier's mountain and more like a shit show. That, together with the ever increasing influx of unsupervised 15 year old boys pushed me away. What would happen is that mom would drop the boys off in the morning and pick them up at 4:30. They would roam the mountain and menace anyone and everyone for the fun of it. I always marvel at folks from the from Philly and NYC when they tell me how excited they are to have a ski vacation at Montage. Its not what i have in mind when i think if going skiing to get a way from it all. IMHO! Sorry KC, but i suspect you share some of these sentiments. So tell us something we already know......Why are you infatuated with this? It would just be a waste of money to run the Long Haul on a weekday without upper Fast Track open or even if it was open. The only time it makes sense to run it is on a weekend with the whole mountain open.Have you ever even skied there?I'll save you some time.....2/5/16: Closed today. Not sure why the infatuation; in fact had forgotten about it til you guys kept bringing it up. Agree that there are times when its not financially worthwhile, but then again when the rest of the mountain is open, why not try to get this up and running. Quote
