Vermont Off-Rodeo May Be Coming to Suicide Six Ski Area [Update: Nixed by Local Residents]

[Maineah]

Am I the only one who has filled out form on Bronco Off-Rodeo site numerous times and never even an email? I have a free plane ticket and would go anywhere If I got any information on how.

As soon as I saw the article I thought, "That would be good for the local economy." And then the article was mostly about how it would be good for the local economy. Haha

Welp, guess I'll be dropping a couple of grand somewhere else...

I hope they find another Eastern US location. Everything else is so far away. Just changed my preference to Texas on the website after seeing Vermont was removed from the current list.

I'd like to see something in Blue Ridge/Smokey mountains region. There is plenty of places they could use and off-roading is more popular in this region over the NE corner.

that is a small world! I worked there in 00 & 01. I was a lowly college kid, so I worked in rentals at Lincoln Peak in 00, then I was over at Mt. Ellen in 01. They put me up in the inn in 99 to 00 over new years so I could work vs going home. Wasn't an issue for me!

It was $2500, but yes... that why I initially left. But we made amends, lol. But my reason for staying gone was that I really need a car this year. So being I'm a decently early reservation, I was more interested in getting my Bronco this year than the 3% under invoice. And in the end, looks like I made the right decision (at least at this point). I'm within my dealers allocations, where, from what I've seen, I would not have been if I went back to Chapman. So win win for all. haha

It wasn't bad actually. Stayed local (Blue Mountain in PA) but my son is still learning, so it was plenty enough for him. And decent snow this year! Heading out west next year!

Ski bum life, love it. I my last event-day was President Bush Jr. campagna stop at the SB sport center, plated dinner for over 1000ppl, I left with a bang (-; I just squeezed in at Chapmen. They have 65 allocations I'm #62 but when you remove all the FE and MY22 I drop over 20 spots ! I'm hopeful, I have sinned with 2 door and Lux pkg so will see. I've skied Blue took my kids there to learn great place for beginners It's great to get a new generation into ridding-skiing, keep the sport alive. Have fun on the big mountains out west it's whole new world you'll love it, take the Bronco and tear up the slopes and trails. Get out and enjoy life

Crowds are ok if it's something the locals like or if the pollatins want to get their message/agenda out. It's not always about the money in these small towns especially in Vermont's so called "gold towns." I've been through it in Vermont, sometimes the minority is louder then the majority and end up getting what they want. Sad
Very small town in Vermont:

Bummer, would have been the only proposed spot within a thousand miles of me (literally the closest at 15 hours and 40 minutes away, 986 miles). You gotta hand it to Ford though... They really know how to screw the Great Lake States! What is next, free steak dinners for all reservation holders, just show up at the Sizzler of your choice in Kiev, Ukraine within one year?

Hopefully they find a new place in Vermont, or somewhere closer to us in Maine

They should just do it at one of the existing off-road parks in ME. Haven't been to any of them (yet) but wouldn't it just make sense to use an existing park with at least the trail infrastructure?

-->
Following outcry from residents just days after the plan became public, the Woodstock Inn and Resort has abandoned a proposal to introduce an off-road driving school at the resort’s Suicide Six ski area.

Always drama in the small towns. There have been some missteps in the planning for sure. Land Rover has a 'school' in VT and there is also a Jeep 'school'. The advertising of the Bronco Off-Rodeo as an "Adventure Playground" might be causing some of the rub. I really hope it gets worked out because I do think this would be good for both Bronco people and the locals. After all, 18 cars twice a day is nothing compared to Ski season.
