C1erArt Posted January 25, 2020 Report Posted January 25, 2020 The home mountain for my sister in Maine was Saddleback, and they shutdown a couple of years ago because they couldn’t afford to replace their main lift. Hopefully they will manage to get investors to continue operations. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Quote

Expand Vail resorts skier visits are down a small amount so far this season vs last season to date. Might be attributed to the popularity of the Ikon pass Quote
EdBacon Posted January 26, 2020 Report Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) It isn't just the lifts. I'm not a park rat but I have noticed Big Boulder is lagging far behind where they normally are this time of the season in their park build out. They should have features on all their parks, but so far they only have Freedom and a partial build of Tbaum. Hell, they aren't even fully open with only 11/16 trails. That is inexcusable considering how quickly they moved to open historically. It really feels like they're doing the bare minimum. Something is up. This year feels different.

poconoceancity Posted January 27, 2020 Report Posted January 27, 2020 Would Vail ever sell off shitholes like JFBB? It really feels like they are running it into the ground. Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 27, 2020 Report Posted January 27, 2020 They have the Elevator slope kind of open yesterday with an "ungroomed terrain" sign marking the drop off, though there was not enough coverage on the flattish area below the drop, so you would have to either curve back onto River Shot or walk back to it. Didn't try it. Quote

Ski2Live Live2Ski Posted January 27, 2020 Report Posted January 27, 2020 It is a Peak dining card and works at Frost. Floyd's was nice. River Shot had a bit better conditions. Bummer there were no bumps on Exhibition and (understandably) no trees in play. Frost is not so exciting on the days it is nothing but groomers. Quote

And if the current weather pattern holds true, nothing off trail will get much further love from snowmaking. Thats been my experience. Quote

Expand I believe I paid $250 and got a card with $287.50 on it to be used at any Peak resort food service place (except Waffle Cabin) with no time limit.
