Mount Snow's Haystack Situation

I heard through the grape vine that Peak and mount snow is going to re-purchase Haystack mountain (5 min down the road) and its going to be for the most part a terrain park mountain! Thats so cool that they are going to give us that mountain. Should be finished by 09 season... can't wait.

i heard that they are reopening haystack as a private mountain. like a golf course where you have to have a membership. at haystack you will only be allowed on the mountain if you own one of the new condos that they are going to be putting trailside.

^ i heard that too. However, if haystack were to turn into a 'terrain park' mountain, would they get rid of the park(s) at snow, or downgrade them at all, because if so, i think that's a terrible idea. you shouldn't have to go to a separate mountain to get to a legit park

That would be alright but kinda suck at the same time , Mt snow has some sick terain, and i love it on a pow day, but i woudlent want to choose if i wanted to hit park or sweet terain. On a side note did any one hike haystack for some freshies this seaon when snow was skied out? I wanted to but i never ended up doing it, would of been sick.

The condo private mountain company thing completely fell through do to the people going bankrupt or something. And I think it'd be sick if mount snow owned both and Haystack was a park. Haystacks terrain is better and it would be so much less crowded so if you wanted to ski groomers or glades you still probably could.

Whaleback is pretty lame, but at least they are trying


I think they should focus on putting up a park with flow instead of there little urban thinger.

yeah back in the day I always used to ride Haystack. Its a sick mountain and its never crowded. Although making it all park might ruin that. I have probly skied there a 150 days.

ya haystack turned into the haystack club, BUT then they bought all of the new stuff (big entrance) and a gondola but it turned out tht was a big mistake. not enough people joined the club and they turned banckrupt and no it hasnt been used commercialy ever since.

thts what i heard
