Gunstock Man Ski Passes - Belknap Residents ?

[Phantom]

Outdoorsman -- perhaps I am misreading into your post, but my initial reaction is that it was a waste of bandwidth and an unnecessary & misplaced shot at me!

My intent "so ya know" .......... was to HELP Bigdog with a function provided in the Forum software which he may not have been aware of ......... called Edit/Delete ..... he indicated that he realized that he mistakenly placed the first post in the wrong category. I was simply pointing out for him that in the future he has a capability to resolve that himself .............. something you may want to consider with the post above !

Actually you can't delete a post that starts a thread. You can edit the content, but not delete it entirely.

And you can't edit the title of a thread that you started. However if you have that embarrassing typo in the thread title Don may come to the rescue.

If you are a NH resident with a few wrinkles, just go here
Cannon has made some really great changes to the snowmaking the last few years and offers the best skiing in the State bar none!
...but ssssh, keep this kinda secret
The attached photo was taken before the recent snowmaking improvements on a trail with no snowmaking...

Looks like Vistaway

Last week and just yesterday at Cannon, only Upper Cannon and Tramway trails were open from the top. Conditions were surprisingly good. :-)

https://www.gunstock.com/discover/webcam/ .... does this look like its worth $199....if you are age 60-69.....weekdays.....January 2 to season end, sometime around March 27.... excluding MLK -Monday, and February-Massachusetts school vacation week?

For those Belknap County $10,000-plus, property tax payers who will be losing their federal tax write-off above the $10,000-ceiling, maybe Gunstock could offer a $25-ski booby consolation prize pass? Where you can get the old price, $25-pass, booby prize, if you can show them a receipted property tax bill showing you have remitted $1500 for Belknap County property taxes in 2017? A little ski welfare from the county for the people who pay the big, big, big county property tax biils!

www.cannonmt.com/daily-photo-live-cam.html someone on this forum once mentioned that "while Gunstock is a very fun, big hill; Cannon is a very fun, big mountain ..... that is owned by the State of NH ...... so, what's the Cannon price, and do you really get to ride the Big Huge Gigundic Cannon Mountain Tramway with this steal-of-a-deal price?


.....or, for something like $525....you can get a similar deal that looks like this www.waterville.com/cams/ ....such a deal?

[Outdoorsman]

These posts just boggle my mind.

Taking a quick look at the Gunstock and Waterville Valley live cams today, Thursday-11am, and it looks like both ski areas have their main#1 chairlift closed, not running, probably due to wind and maybe temperature, but mostly a shut-down for wind.

So, at Waterville Valley, that maybe means a day ticket costs $81, and the main quad lift is closed due to high winds up top, or somewhere....... such a deal!

Cannot see the live cam at Cannon, for right now?

If the main lifts are closed... how is that a deal?

[fatlazyless]

It's definitely not a good deal .......saying "such a deal" is my sarcastic way for saying it's really a bad deal.

In the past, the WV ticket office has sold full price lift tickets while the main lift was closed due to high wind. Now, with the re-positioned lift ticket windows located closer to the walkway and the lift, maybe that practice is just a bad memory.

www.waterville.com/cams/ Sunday 12/31 9:50am:

This natural lighting today at 9:50am is very good. The main 4-seater chairlift in the background is currently closed, and not moving, due to wind and temp of 4-below, but mostly the wind.

Believe the decision to close the lift right now, on the Sunday between Christmas and New Years, is made by the ski patrol as opposed to the ticket sales window. WV Ski Patrol are mostly all volunteers and all about safety, and the ticket window is all about selling $81 tickets...... whether the lift is running or not ...... "like oh .... what ....the lift is not running and you want a refund? ..... a refund? .....do we do refunds? .... need to get someone down here to approve a refund! ..... be right back!"

The conditions at Gunstock were very good today and no lines this morning. A perfect day to ski. Sorry if you had to work today.

70 or over senior pass: I am working on getting my $10's worth for the pass that I got a while ago. I had to get a new RFID chip pass this year, no charge. Same deal each year from now on.

The 70+ pass is now $25 as has been noted and is open to all; not just county residents. HOWEVER this is the last year that the $25 will get you a lifetime pass. Starting next year, if that is your 1st year age 70, you will have to pay the fee each and every year going forward. I suppose that will still be an OK deal as these are prime time no blackout passes.

I would love to meet up with forum members at the rockpile (Gunstock). PM me and I will look for you at your time and spot on the mountain. A good time to meet me is inside the slope lodge changing near the Gunstock Geezer sign. Look for the BAE racing team vest. Usually between 9 and 9:30 AM.

I usually make a dozen or more runs and quit around noon time. If my old bones are up to it, another hour.
