点评:My 50th ski area in the Northeast ! We got passes for attending a travel show at MGM Springfield and saved today’s ticket price of $139.
Yesterday was very warm so I knew the refereeze meant crust. They groomed yesterday, which means corduroy crust. The few people and cool temperatures took awhile to loosen it up to be enjoyable.
The over 2,000 feet of vertical is achieved by taking an 8 minute, over a mile long ride on a 6 passenger bubble chair for 1,600 feet of gain, followed by a T bar to the summit. The skies were blue and the air was dry so visibility was unlimited. I was surprised at how many bubbles were broken, gaping holes or taped patches on at least half of the 83 chairs.
This was the first time I used an outdoor rack to store my bag while I skied. My lunch was cold, but so were my sneakers when I went to leave.
I did 17 runs with over 20,000 feet vertical between 9am and 1pm, with a rest at the summit lodge in the sunshine and a lunch in the base lodge after the first 9 runs. It was 155 miles and two hours and 40 minutes traveling. I still have another pass left….
翻译:这是我在东北部的第 50 个滑雪场!我们拿到了参加 MGM Springfield 旅游展的通行证,节省了今天的票价 139 美元。
昨天天气很热,所以我知道裁判说的是硬壳。他们昨天修整过,也就是灯芯绒硬壳。人少,气温低,需要一段时间才能放松下来,才能享受滑雪的乐趣。
超过 2,000 英尺的垂直高度是通过乘坐 6 名乘客的泡泡椅进行 8 分钟、超过一英里的骑行,上升 1,600 英尺,然后通过 T 杆到达山顶来实现的。天空蔚蓝,空气干燥,能见度无限。我很惊讶,83 张椅子中至少有一半的泡泡破了,有大洞或贴了胶带。
这是我第一次在滑雪时使用户外架子存放我的包。我的午餐是冷的,但我离开时我的运动鞋也是冷的。
我在上午 9 点到下午 1 点之间滑行了 17 次,垂直高度超过 20,000 英尺,在阳光下的山顶小屋休息,在前 9 次滑行后在山脚小屋吃午餐。行程 155 英里,耗时 2 小时 40 分钟。我还有另一张通行证……
