Just feel bad that Gunstock lost a lift during this week. Probably didn't effect them much yesterday, but for the rest of the week. Hope they can get it fixed quickly

They had a gearbox problem. The part was overnighted and they expect the lift to be operational by Saturday

The wife and I flew into Manchester Monday night from Tampa around 6pm.
Most turbulent approach and landing I've ever experienced.
I was amazed we didn't go around for a 2nd try.

Pilot jokingly said "you guy's gotta pay extra for that one"

I had one of those flying into Toronto once when they bailed at the last minute and went back up for a second go around, thought I was going to lose my ****!

When the lifts are on wind hold, the GM decides to transfer the skiers to the top with the snowcats!

If it's too windy for the lifts then it's too windy to ski, IMO.

1) In olden times, we had many more T-Bars. Exercise in both directions kept you warm.
2. I remember skiing as a teenager at Gunstock on the 1964 Chair which was mostly close to the ground, so no wind shut downs. Very cold and windy and we were told a -55F wind chill. Best part: no lift lines that day.
3. Anybody else remember buying a book of lift tickets (1 for T, 2 for Try-Me and 3 for the summit IIRC)? You could take a run or two and if you weren't happy, save the rest of the book for another day.

Indeed I do. Try Me was a great Trail to have fun on, is it still called that? Haven't skied in many years, but was skiing there in 64..
