Comments | Ugh - this was a total disaster. The trail conditions whiteboard in the Peabody Lodge said Peabody Express on mechanical(?) delay. 3 lifts listed as open (as of start of day): Zoomer, Tram, and Eagle Cliff. None were actually open from what I can tell. Got in line at Eagle Cliff Chair at about 8:20 hoping they'd open a couple minutes earlier than the scheduled 8:30 start time. Around 8:35 one of the lift attendants mumbled something to the crowd that nobody could hear. At that point the line started building and building as this was the only lift serving the entire mountain. The line eventually went all the way up to the lodge. I was about to leave the queue when at about 8:55 (in windy/drizzly conditions mind you - we were all just standing there!) they let people on. But it wasn't over yet - the lift kept stopping and starting. I was like, well, maybe I'll lap Zoomer once I finally get to the top of the Eagle Cliff Chair. At the down ramp, ski patrol was shooing people away from the front five/zoomer as they were still grooming it - this was 9:20 or so, mind you. The descent options being maybe 2 slopes, I called it a day and headed to skin up Tuckerbrook knowing I'd get a bit of time before people actually would be able to descend that route from Mittersill. Tuckerbrook was terrific - but glad I carried supplies such as ski wax as the snow on the flat spots was getting really sticky - good luck to the exiting crowd later in the day!!! NOTE: supposedly the Peabody express and tram were up and running well after 10am. Who knows.... |
