Ok there seems to be some interest concerning Sutton... So here is some information concerning the development projects of the mountain. Some may be more or less true than others, as the local rumor mill is my main source of information. <BR> <BR>It is a fact that the Boulanger family (the...

Yes there is now a trail that goes from the Alleghanys (about from the level of top of chair 4West), down the backside, and back to the bottom of chair 1West. It's not on the map for liability reasons - they want to make this a "ski at your own risk / pay for your rescue" type of trail. <BR>...

I agree that with all development comes a risk of destroying good things, but I think that the fact of Orford being in a park should prevent the corp. from killing the existing terrain. I do not know why, however, they want to keep mi-orford and rapido even with a 6-people gondola in place. That...

I benefited from a week-long break in my exam period to stay 4 days at Sutton, and it was worth it. <BR> <BR>I was on my skis at 8:30 Saturday to benefit from the season opening of eastern -steeper- section of the resort, but conditions weren't as nice as I'd expected. They had groomed/rolled...

I can surely keep you updated on Sutton's conditions, as I'm there every week-end. <BR> <BR>BTW, their website announce 100% open for this Saturday!

November 30 is somewhat a late beginning for Sutton, but is was worth the wait. Only 4 trails were open but I skied 37 during the whole weekend. <BR> <BR>All water bars were not yet covered in most closed slopes, but a 40-80 cm cover ensured that we hit no rocks. All intermediate terrain was...
