    We’ve already signed up in the spring, have a parking space, family passes, team jackets, early morning access passes.....

    JFC- Jiminy Peak is open, K is open, Stowe/Mt Snow/Okemo have figured it the f%ck out, but Alterra/Ikon can’t get their crap in gear?! It was 23 degrees this week & they were not blowing snow.

    Sugarbush (other VT Ikon / Alterra resort that we could hit) is also now saying 12/3 for possible opening?!

    Feels like big “I con-artist” brother is just tossing it in.......

    Rant over.
    I guess that VT bubble needs more bubble wrap

    yup jiminy opened today. the closest mountain to me, the place i skiied my last two days of lift-served...and while only a few miles inside MA...a no-go!

    came to really appreciated the place last couple of seasons - hit a pow nite before the groomers could wreck it...and some spring temp winter days that got me dialed in for tougher terrain...

    as VT looked a less and less likely option over past months, i was thankful for the berkshires. turned out i was dreaming.

    but the snow will come and in-state skiing will be all the rage

    can't wait.

    +1 on mtbiker's words above.

    and to paraphrase his motto :
    distanced but not apart.

    Massachusetts Travel Restrictions: Vermont Removed From Exempt List

    msn.com - 4 hours ago

    BOSTON (CBS) — Vermont is no longer considered a “COVID lower-risk state” by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Beginning Saturday, Massachusetts will require people traveling from Vermont to fill out a travel form and then quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in the state.
    States qualify as lower-risk when their daily cases per 100,000 are below 10 and the positive test rate below 5%, both measured as a 7-day rolling average.
    The only state remaining on the travel order exempt list is Hawaii, which has been deemed as lower-risk.
    Outside of Hawaii, anyone coming into Massachusetts from a different state needs to fill out a travel form and quarantine or provide a negative COVID-19 test from within 72 hours of your arrival. Failure to comply could result in a fine up to $500.

    You’ve been preaching walling off Vermont with quarantines and you are now complaining about this? What did you expect man?

    Drizzling at Cannon. No snow at the base. Loon also not open.
    Skiing-wise worst Thanksgiving in many years. Revenge of stick season.

    It’s a horrid piece of perhaps well deserved humble pie.

    Nope, was going to try to get to Tremblant until I saw the penalties. I figured someone needed some medical/humanitarian help at Tremblant

    so not worth it right now, even without the penalties.

    Also not a good call if you're trying to avoid catching the 'vid. Its thick in the air up here. Tremblant attracts tons of people from Montreal and Ottawa and more. I would say you're really increasing your risk of exposure by going there.

    even more to the point, canada has kept the border to its largest trading partner, bff nation closed for a good reason. to keep the 'vid OUT. it i'm guessing most canadians know by now how to appeal to those who won't stay out ;0]

    we are #1 in all the wrong ways in that respect.

    be safe everybody,

    bob report. bushterra™ has coverage t2b currently, new inch mid2top and a bit of mixed falling now after rain from 5 am wakeup until 1ish, not really anything I was interested in skiing today in the rain. Fo-cast for Monday/Tuesday looks like ass, again, not interested.
    Surprising number of weekend seasonal folks around this weekend. Maybe they're here for the long haul and sheltering for Thursdays opening.

    I think part of the border closing is Quebecs desire to clear out teh Anglophones from its midst.

    Absolutely no one is following Vt Guidance so why should I suffer?! Alterra has tossed in the towel & I had a camp scheduled to run in Tremblant in March that I could not get to & lost all my lodging..., figure if everyone’s ethos are shit, I’m done plugging the dyke.

    Bromley got a frosting this afternoon (observed from a distance); east side trails looked somewhat covered about 2/3 of the way down.

    Made an epic reservation at Mt. Snow tomorrow. Last I looked, Freefall on the North Face was open. I'll do 10 laps and then get the fuck outta there. If anybody else is going, PM me.
