Wildcat probably gets sold off. It doesn't really fit Vail's profile. There is no lodging or on site dining besides the bar. Mount Snow, Okemo, Attitash, Stowe, Sunapee are very resorty, Wildcat is not really.
Berkshire east was fun today. Haven't been skiing in a few days due to trying to buy a car. It was nice to make some turns with both my kids. Drank a couple beers in the lot and hit up the outdoor food service window. Everything is going pretty smoothly over there. Their terrain is really very limited though. Only three routes off the top basically. Hopefully they will have upper competition open after this event is over tomorrow and things freeze up again.
Santa must really hate snow! Who doesn't love a torch cutter on Christmas? This will not be good for the Christmas week. I think it's time for mounting more skis and breaking in my new ski boots. Maybe it's time to get out and cut some more glades!
Beast did only have 7 trails open. Everything else was “skiable.” Best was the lower angle stuff. Fat skis helped a lot too. I did not ski lift line. Jug was a blast. Honestly, Berkshire east is never fully game on, maybe once every few years for like three days. There is always rocks and stumps to hit in the woods.
No snow days for my district this year. Covid can go &*$%^$ itself. I have the day off tomorrow. Will there be any thing left for me at berkshire east? Woods? I'm also on 110 waisted skis.
I work about 10 mins from Brodie, it looks very skiable right now but I’m not sure of access. I’ve heard it is on private property and they may not allow access.
I've been teaching ski lessons there since I moved back to western mass in 2010. Nice gig for me and them. I'm an elementary school gym teacher as my full time job so I'm pretty good at wrangling children. I show up on time and don't complain and I'm willing to teach school groups. I live 15 minutes away so it really works out!
The 20th is starting to get me interested for out here. Euro OP looks nice for Thursday out here but it's 6 days out and very different than the GFS. Ensembles, I'm still learning how to read them but I'll assume we ride them until we get inside 4-5 days?
Im a part time employee, I live only a few minutes away. They have been hammering away. We have some training this weekend. They have no day tickets on sale until next Saturday so I'd assume that is opening day. Seems good for snowmaking after this weekends warm up. I think they would like to open with a decent amount of terrain even if it's on all manmade snow. The storm next week won't help unless it takes a track like the 12z Euro.
