It’s hard to know. All 12 of his posts are in this thread. So he seems to have a very specific, and very intense interest in Tenney while not have much interest in any other New England ski related topic. </blockquote>

And every post is something negative about Tenney without any real facts backing up claims.

According to Facebook, there will be a major announcement within a couple of weeks…

Squam

The major announcement: Tenney will not be opening in 2017, meanwhile Cannon 14 trails, 4 lifts, top to bottom; Loon 16 trails top to bottom, Waterville 6 trails… These areas have 100% snowmaking and mountain experienced mountain staff. Wonderful that Aspen now owns Stratton and Stowe.

What are you trying to accomplish? Mike and the team at Tenney has worked hard for over three years to return skiing to Tenney. Even if you don’t think it will work, how does talking this way about Tenney help anyone? Most people would love to see them succeed, why don’t you?

Aspen doesn’t own Stowe.  What’s your deal with your lies, Squam?  And why do you only post to this thread and always negative about Tenney?

Squam

Happy that Aspen owns Mt. Tremblant and Vail owns Stowe. Making sure you are paying attention!!!!

Why don’t you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don’t you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don’t you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Cannonball

I was at Cannon today. They are doing a great job, but 14 trails is a marketing fantasy world. I’m looking at Loon as I write. They are also doing a great job but they do not have 16 top to bottom trails so I don’t know where you got that from. Neither of them have 100% snowmaking. In fact I’m not sure of anyone who does (except maybe the mall in Dubai).

But why are we taking about these places in this thread anyway (not to mention Aspen and Stowe!!!)?? They are apples to elbows when it comes to comparisons with Tenney. I’m rooting for Tenney to succeed, but not because I’m expecting them to have better snowmaking, or grooming, or terrain than Cannon or Loon (or Aspen and Stowe). I’m expecting them to eventually offer what those places can’t: a small, family vibe at lower cost.

You’re probably right that Tenney will continue to struggle. I hope you’re wrong. Either way, I don’t understand how anyone can find so much joy in their struggles. I hope you got as much joy at wherever you skied today. Where was that by the way? And how was it?

Squam might as well compare McIntrye to the likes of Cannon, Waterville, and Loon. The fact is Tenney isn’t aiming to reopen as a major destination resort. It should more appropriately be compared to Big Squaw, Whaleback, and Ascutney which are previously lost areas that reopened as community areas with minimal infrastructure. Even when it was open, Tenney wasn’t competing with Cannon, Waterville, and Loon but rather against other mid-sized areas like Pat’s, Ragged, and Gunstock.

Squam seems to be an anti-Tenney troll for whatever reason - was he the one who took advantage and was/is in the lawsuit AGAINST Mike@Tenney??????   If I ask the ski-magic-8-ball, “SIGNS POINT TO YES”

by the way, yes, today Cannon was EXCELLENT!!!!!

I would have thought so myself, but I’m pretty sure that guy is in jail now. Maybe they’re buddies.

Any thoughts about skiing Tenney during Hanukkah, Christmas or Kwanzaa this year? Been out of country, so would love to hear about current conditions. Thanks for your help.

Go for it! Just bring your rock skis and skins or roller blades. They’ve gotten 4″ in last 7 days and 5 total this season.

Shoulda stayed out

Any news on Tenney other than troll B.S.?

I went to the FB page and there is a comment from Michael Bouchard regarding state lift inspection - 

“Watch for it, within the next 10 days… just need to finish up the Haul Rope inspection and we are good…”

riverc0il

That FB post is good to hear. Strong December snow here in central NH. I suspect if we get snow this coming weekend, they’ll be able to open most of the mountain without even making any snow. Though if they want to groom, they’ll probably want to blow on their main groomer runs… I don’t know if we have quite enough natural to groom and till without digging up a few rocks.

obienick

Tenney is rolling with a groomer right now per FB

becca_m

he definitely invites uphill travel (prior to lifts running) - hoping to get there to skin up soon!!!!

newman

If they still have an old fashioned packer for the grooming things won’t get so rocky and dirty, like using a tiller. It would be cool to be able to ski there no matter what it’s like. IMHO

This was posted on Facebook today - 

"Our director Jeff and assistant director Josh from ski patrol are skiing today. They are planning our trail safety and setting up Ski Patrol program. They both have been Ski Patrollers at Tenney in the past before it was closed and have extensive knowledge of the terrain.
