点评:Been coming here for over a decade because we have a cabin in Arnold. It’s a family style low key kind of place. Has two highs speed chairs in addition to a handful of dinosaurs so if there is enough snow it’s a great place. The bottom black section used to be some of the best bowls and bumps but the lower altitude means it’s never open. 2022-3 was a record setting year and it wasn’t open.
The real problem with this place is the “ski team” I added the quotes because the vast majority of the “team” are just kids in day-camp. There is an actual race team with maybe a dozen kids. Why is this a problem? Because on weekends that they are here the parking lot, dining facilities and lifts are overwhelmed. Look, we have kids who ski- I have no problem with encouraging it! But, they are allowed, en masse, to skip the lift line. Picture a 10’ wait on a chair and 50 (I’m not exaggerating) team kids and their coaches take the next 10 chairs. The parents show up an hour before the lifts open and camp out all the dining tables. The level of self entitled behavior is absurd. We sat down and ate (food purchased at BV) and the attached photo was of someone’s obvious lunch stuff in a Trader Joe’s bag. Nobody came to sit down even after we were done and left. Most of the other tables were similarly ’reserved’ with outside food.
I think this resort needs to make a decision: either decrease the size of the ski team and make them stand in lift lines like everyone else, make it exclusively a race team with tryouts etc so it’s more limited, or don’t open for the rest of us riff-raff whose season passes and $50 lunches, $20 premium parking are apparently second tier relative to the team. Skiing shouldn’t be this much hassle at a small local hill.
翻译:来这里已经十多年了,因为我们在阿诺德有一间小屋。这是一个家庭风格低调的地方。除了一些恐龙之外,还有两把高速椅子,所以如果有足够的雪,那是一个很棒的地方。底部的黑色部分曾经是一些最好的碗状和凹凸处,但海拔较低意味着它永远不会开放。 2022 年 3 月是创纪录的一年,但尚未开放。
这个地方真正的问题是“滑雪队”,我添加了引号,因为绝大多数“团队”只是日间营的孩子。有一个真正的赛车队,大约有十几个孩子。为什么这是个问题?因为周末他们在这里的停车场、餐饮设施和电梯都人满为患。看,我们有滑雪的孩子——我毫不犹豫地鼓励他们!但是,他们可以集体跳过电梯排队。想象一下,在一把椅子上等待 10 英尺,然后 50 个(我没有夸张)团队孩子和他们的教练坐在接下来的 10 个椅子上。家长们在电梯开放前一小时出现,并在所有餐桌上扎营。自以为是的行为水平是荒谬的。我们坐下来吃东西(在 BV 购买的食物),所附照片是 Trader Joe's 包里明显有人的午餐物品。即使我们完成并离开后也没有人过来坐下。大多数其他桌子也同样“预留”了外面的食物。
我认为这个度假村需要做出一个决定:要么缩小滑雪队的规模,让他们像其他人一样站在缆车线上,要么让它成为专门的比赛队,进行选拔等,这样就更加有限,要么不向滑雪队开放我们这些流氓,他们的季节已经过去了,50美元的午餐,20美元的高级停车位相对于团队来说显然是第二梯队的。在当地的一座小山上滑雪不应该这么麻烦。
