Road and Parking lot conditions 11/25 and 26
What happened yesterday/today with the snow plowing on the mountain?
I arrived at the mountain last night around 9 and I was greeted on the access road with at least 10 inches of unplowed snow that was rutted up so bad that I was forced to zig zag up the road from side to side to make it up.
When I drove to the parking lots this morning around 8:30, parking lot D (below first aid) was plowed out but the parking lot right above it, C, was not. This forced you to walk through slop of water and snow (more water). If you were not wearing high boots, you were doomed to get wet feet. The water even made it through my ski boots which provided for a great part of the day.
Did Boyne not budget for plowing in Novemeber?

the parking lot was terrible. i stepped in some snow and it gave way to water that soaked my feet and caused to to have somewhat of a bad day

I was lucky enough to get the parking lot below the 60 minute one, but the other parking lots were not plowed. It was not plowed on the way up to Quad either, had to plow through wet snow with my boots. I didn't get too wet though. I only saw them plowing next to the base lodge at about 12:00.

Hi folks,
On tuesday night both of Fenwick's large plows broke down, which was the main reason for the plowing issues. Fenwick is the subcontractor for Sugarloaf responsible for plowing our roads and parking lots. These issues have been addressed and you can expect considerable improvements in the plowing for the next storm that comes our way. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

I have a question on how far down the mountain phase 1 will go. The map shows it all the way to Snowbrook /lower part of Woody Creek. Is this really where it will end or will it somehow end onto the Stubb's Glase condo access trail?

Can you please clarify how access will be gained to the new gladed area? I understand that you can access most of it via the top of King Pine, but what about at the bottom? My understanding is that for now is that this area is accessible by…
