Middlebury is great and never crowded even on weekends and the parking lot is full. When the Bailey Falls chair is running and the snow is good it's great on the back side. All natural snow over there.

Great report. That's a lot of driving even without going to Camden Snow Bowl. Why the discount code to Waterville? It's on the IndyPass.

Sounds like Shawnee didn't get near the crowds that Blue did.

Good day not to be there. All the goobers go running to the mountain because there is snow in their backyard. Most of them can's ski powder and when it's all pushed into piles after a half an hour they can't ski that either.

I was there yesterday as well. Skied 9:00-1:00. Conditions were good. A little scratchy in spots but carveable. White lightning had soft manmade with a little natural mixed in and skied great. Montage never really gets crowded but I never saw it so empty on a Sunday when we got there a little before 9:00. A patroller told us it was mobbed on Friday but yesterday and today were pretty empty. They did open lower Fast Track and upper has huge whales on it and they were still making snow so they'll likely push it out soon.

That seems to be the case at all of the Fail resorts. Way behind the competition in a year with great early snowmaking weather. But then they already have your money.

The problem with Blue's grooming is that they never let it sit and drain. That's why they are a cookie factory.

It is normal for them to open on the Stephenson side? You can ski down Sundbowl from the lodge but how do you get back to lodge and the "free" parking?

Maybe I'll buy that Triple ticket now. I wish Blue would offer that same deal.

Camelback offering a Triple Ticket for $139. No blackouts. They forget to mention that it will cost at a minimum $36 more for parking. So total is really $175. No thanks! I can't believe that they charge for parking on weekdays. Otherwise, being semi retired and able to ski on weekends I would have taken them up on it. Now I'll just go to Montage or Elk.

That's bummer. Montage was good option on weekends to avoid the crowds. I'll probably head there a few times on the $40 Monday to Wednesday deal. Maybe now Indy can get Elk to sign up.

With the Indy add-on that would be a steal.

It's awesome when the Bailey Falls side is open. Glad you enjoyed it.

Nice report. Skied Berkshire East last Saturday. Conditions were great all over the mountain. The only line was at the HSQ. The quad with the carpet loader next to it is actually faster if there's a line at the HSQ. That and the Exhibition Quad were ski-on.

Or Middlebury Snow Bowl. Refurbished Baily Falls lift opened today. Was there last Saturday and the front side was great.
