    One thing to keep in mind, many kids can't ski more than like 2-4 hours until they are 6/7/8 years old.

    My son's first turns were at Shawnee. 2.5 or 3.5 yo I have to check. 25 min and done!

    Mount Peter Conditions

    Ok, I forget the name of the place, but up the hill from the community center in pine hill is a collection of cabins that are air bnb'd for a handsome some. Some years ago I tracked down the caretaker (can't find his number), who put me in touch w the owner. It is not the best 5 star place...

    We don't either - for Belle it was a ski club I am apparently not supposed to name on blogs. For Gore, one season we did a seasonal rental. Kinda small but fine, 8 min to the mountain. The season after they wanted to see if we wanted to rent again - they were great and I remember it was...

    If i may, be patient with yourself and your little one. Unless he or she is trying to do the wedge of death down a black (which I can't justify), it does take them time to develop nueromuscular coordination, and other than a habit they can work out of over time, a wedge for a period of time is...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Don't get me started on fridges and washing machines. I bought a good oven from a top brand viewing it as a consumption investment and it has been great. Fridges, unless you drop way too much money, seem designed to last 3-5 years. I can't justify spending the money on that. And I got a...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Y'all know I don't buy individual stocks (got a good reminder why it is against my investing rules when i dropped a little cash on Rivian haha) but BYD would be a good bet, certainly a few years ago (the beauty of hindsight). Buffet I believe has a big position in it, and he certainly knows of...

    The Future of NYSkiBlog

    I don't know what I would do if I were you because it is very personal. If you envision a point that you would want to hand it over or kill it, and the concern about handing it over is that you won't like what it will become, you could address that to some degree by coming to an agreement with...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Thanks for posting. Question: how was moxham? Loved it as a natural snow trail and didn't get to it on our short trip. I laughed when you referred to the turn of death on Cloud. My wife mostly won't go to the summit because of that turn. I kind of forget where mini cloud is - is that what...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Also insanely fast charging times. Someone (Jason?) has posted videos but the charge rates in China are insane. I think they have usable and somewhat accessible fillups i the 5-15 minute range. Not a 150 miles of range in 20 minutes, filling up i a few minutes. My Rivian, as much as I like...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    It is also true, though, with the extra weight snows are more important. Someone can explain the physics of it, but as you increase weight, you increase the time it takes to regain traction once you lose it. Having snow tires is the most important factor in not losing traction in cold...
