The Head Of Sugarbush Resort Takes A Swing At What This Season Could Look Like
So, What is Going to Happen This Winter?
Wherever I go, with my face partially hidden by my Sugarbush logo face mask, I inevitably get asked, "So what is going to happen this winter?" Since many jokingly believe I predicted the onset of the current pandemic and sold Sugarbush just a few weeks before COVID-19 hit, I am sure they are looking for a definitive answer.
The wonderful thing about the article is that Smith is very optimistic about the coming season, saying "We will surely begin snowmaking as we normally do around November 1st if the temperatures permit." That's a good sign for fans of Sugarbush, though it's likely that several, if not all, Vermont mountains share in the same level of optimism.
However, the point that could be considered the most important speaks to what day to day operations are going to look like. As most everyone already knows,
there will likely need to be reservations made, masks worn, distances kept,
and facilities limited. We know this from current summer operations here in the Northern Hemisphere and from winter operations in the south. While Smith
does agree that this could be the part of the coming winter's operations, he
also looks to the bright side of things by adding the following;
The optimism and the positivity could be the best way to look at the coming season, because in the end, even with all of the current preparations being made by mountain towns and resorts, none of us is quite sure how the season is going to look and won't really have a concrete answer to that question until it gets closer to opening day. However, be positive, be optimistic, and get your gear and your rear ready. Winter is right around the corner and we'll all be riding something.
