I had a customer years ago who had Walmart as a customer. When he told them he had to raise his prices due to increased costs (including giving his workers an annual raise) they said, "Oh no. You're going to reduce your prices and we'll show you how. They had a whole department that introduced...

It's this group. Adirondacks, USA Yep. That's ROOST

Just took a survey for Adirondacks, USA who I occasionally get emails from regarding activities in the Adirondacks. For the question, "Which places did you visit on your last trip?" There is almost every town listed except for North Creek. I made a comment at the end of the survey that I found...

Nice! My buddy has the same one at his place in Maine. Works great! If you take the insert out of the top you can just open that flap and drop logs in without opening the doors.

It was running yesterday, Saturday March 15th,

Yes. I forgot to short Tesla and Vail Resorts.

Nice report and pics. I'm thinking of hitting up Greek Peak Saturday depending on how the blow torch affects things this week. How was the base? Do you think lift 5 side will make it through the week?

Skied Bousquet twice this season on the Indy Pass. First time there as well. I know the grandson of the founder and skied with him this past weekend in Maine. He has a lot of stories about the area and the history. It was one of the first areas with ski trains back in the day. Before it was a...

I skied there Sunday as well. Wish I would have known you were going to be there. We could have hooked up. It is a quirky area but while the parking lot was full the most we waited for the lift was a few chairs and often was ski-on. I heard the Pocono areas were mobbed on Sunday. Monday...

FIFY ;)

Skied Middlebury last Saturday. Conditions on the front side were great with 4" of fresh snow. Lifts were ski-on. Baily Falls side opening this weekend. Now is the time to go. Baily Lift Opening

Who do you despise more? The person selling it or the person who buys it?

i agree. You can find deals. Not as many as there used to be. But you have to know where to look and many people have never heard of the little places and with their limited marketing budgets they don't show up at the top of web searches. That's why places like Mt. Snow with paid parking, high...

This is what I think is going to hurt the sport in the long run. "The story is different, though, for a working dad in Denver who wants to take his kid up to Breckenridge for a day in late December to try out skiing. He will find that everything that is not a season pass is criminally expensive...

I really think those high day passes are going to hurt the industry in the long run. New comers to skiing don't buy season passes and the high prices will drive them away. Add rentals and lessons to that ticket price and people are going to take up another sport or head to a warm place in the...
