I was really hoping that since it is super bowl weekend, a lot of people won't go skiing. I'm pretty sure that is just an empty dream.

The east actually has just as long seasons if not a bit longer than the majority of the west which will be april 19th. Out east is very grassy compared to out west which means the east can run off of a 12 inch base. You need waaaaayyyyyyy more snow than that to ski out west. I'm going to be skiing sunday river in may, sugarloaf in may, and hopefully superstar at killington in june. Mandatory day at Tuckerman Ravine will be had as well.

Sunday River. Lift ops pushes wind holds way harder than the loaf dose. I have ran the chondola through some holy fuck shit wind. Ran it at 2.5m/s at 70mph.

Lol wut? That's an actual thing? Seems rather draconian. Out west we sometimes close specific roads, but never a whole state's roads. If they tried that in Montana I think it would just make more people drive because 'Murica.

I'm going to ski my tits right the fuck off. Magic is in a fatty snow band, should be cold enough for blower, has a killer base atm and it's got the terrain to absolutely crush this shit.

Good luck skiing 3' on the coast tho! Hope yous got some zardoz!

Your highest lift runs to the halfway point of Sugarloaf. We can run all the lifts below that point, no problem. It's our additional vertical that usually has issues, but also way more reward :)

We are talking winds way above your average windy storm here though. I'm no mountain ops manager but I can't see them running in 20mph winds with 40mph gusts. Unless the mountain is sheltered from the brunt of it I guess.

You can run in gusts of 100mph with an excellent on point not stoned operator with low sustained winds. You will have a lot of stops but you can operate. Jordan (a peak visible to mt.washington home of 200+mph winds) is that lift that dose that random gust bullshit. From where the wind is coming on the lift is important too. If its a wind that is blowing sideways its a real bastard to time the guide wheel into the trumpet straight in.

Living out west is great, just not when we keep getting the worst snow years on record. And it seems like yall get massive "historic" storms every year.



so yeah, the east can eat a major dick right now
