Snow Reporter Comments: 2/23 2:25PM - Afternoon, Stratton! A fresh 6 inches of snow in the past 24 hours was just what we needed to kick off the week. It's getting real good out there, so stick around and get in some Tuesday turns down 96 open trails. Overnight, the grooming team plans to lay fresh corduroy across 64 trails, leaving 32 all natural to hunt for pow stashes. Find your way up 8 lifts scheduled to spin at 9AM with the possibility of delays due to high winds. Due to the Gondola being temporarily out of service, Shooting Star will run in its place tomorrow. Be sure to check out the most recent Gondola update below and stay tuned for more updates to come.As temperatures dip, we are taking advantage of the cold window to fire up snow guns with focus on Upper Standard. Current trail closures are temporary and reflect ongoing snowmaking operations. Stay tuned for updates.Can’t wait to catch up with you bright and early! Gondola Update 2/22:With help from Alterra and Leitner Poma, we have procured the necessary component, which is being overnighted from a supplier in France. This component is on its way to our local machine shop in Vermont. Once the part arrives in Vermont, the first step is to machine it down to its final specifications. These components have very tight tolerances. Installation in the top gondola terminal will begin immediately afterward and is a fairly straightforward process. Finally, upon the Vermont Tramway Inspector's sign-off, the gondola will reopen to the public. We will continue to provide information as we work diligently throughout this upcoming week and look to be spinning the gondola soon. We plan on providing another update midweek.Gondola Update 2/20:As we noted in yesterday's Mountain Report, our Lift Maintenance team discovered an issue during routine maintenance checks and made the decision to remedy it before running the lift.The part at issue is in the top terminal and key to allowing the cabins to circulate around the terminal and return to the line to go back downhill. If it were to fully fail, the cabins would not be able to cycle through the top and we would be required to perform a rope evacuation.While we keep many parts on hand for maintenance and wear and tear, there's no ski area that is able to keep all of the extra parts on hand for every lift part, for every scenario. That is not practical, and unfortunately, this is one of those parts. We have a very tenured team of experts who perform regular and preventative maintenance on all our lifts throughout the year including the winter. As with a lot of machinery, the indications of an issue present themselves when they present themselves and that's what happened this week after showing no indication all season long.We immediately began working with the manufacturer to procure the part and as of our latest conversations this morning we do not have an estimated arrival date. The good news is that the fix should only take a day once it arrives.We want to be transparent with everyone regarding the gondola operations beyond today as it's clear that the gondola will not operate this weekend and likely into early next week. We plan to have all of our other lifts running this weekend with 100% of our terrain open which helps spread everyone out throughout the mountain. We will update the timeline as soon as we have more information.Safety Tip: Skiing in the woods? Bring a friend, a phone, and stay within the ski area boundaries. The Ikon Stoke Event is back this weekend from Friday, February 27 through Sunday, March 1! There will be plenty of giveaways, music, après, and even early lift access for Ikon Pass holders. Plus, you can enter to win a 26/27 Ikon Pass to keep the stoke rolling into next season!
