Oh yeah, Deidra Walsh doing the interview with sunglasses. Incredibly bad look, the faceless representative of faceless Vail.

According to the MIT Living Wage Calculator, living wage for a single adult, no children, is $27.49/hr in Summit County UT. Two adults both working, with 2 kids, they each need to earn $30.31.

After 340 World Cup starts, Diggins wins her first ever classic technique race. Two Tour de Ski stages, 2 wins. THAT's what I'm talking about.

On Wednesday, they were saying 40 km open. That includes 3 snowshoe trails. A good bit of what was called open hadn't been rolled since 5" of snow Monday night. I can't speak to what they did Thursday, I took a rest day. Trapp Family Lodge, Craftsbury, and Prospect Mt are all partially open...

In an ideal world, I would have delayed taking social security. But my personal trining biz cratered with the lockdown.

They've used UTVs to roll the 1980 Olympic trails. Despite all the snow we've gotten, not many of those are open. They're using Pisten Bullys to groom the World Cup trails and push out snow.

Why can't ORDA groom more trails at Mt van Ho. Asking for a friend.

Let's talk about the slipshod grooming at Mt van Hoevenberg. Trails groomed Monday weren't re-groomed after 5 inches of pow fell Monday night. Porter Mt hasn't been groomed at all, yet there appeared to be adequate snow today. The conditions report says 40 kilometers open, which is misleading...

Lifestyle: It hasn't been easy finding musicians to play with up here. IDK what it will be like in North Creek, but it can be hard to get a plumber, electrician etc in for work on your house. Not enough of them. Two weeks ago I contacted my electrician, they're now scheduling into January...

My supplemental Medicare insurance - from everybody's favorite, United Healthcare - jumped when I moved up here. I have Humana for prescription insurance. F'n Humana nearly doubled when I moved from NJ to NY. Then it went up another 47% for the coming year. Plus, they don't want to pay for a...

@Harvey for those retiring from NJ to NY, beware that some expenses may increase. My car insurance and health insurance are both more expensive up here than in NJ. Don't get me started about f'n Humana.

Ya can't just grind forever for billionaires and their shareholder value.

I'm 3/4 retired, with a grueling, unendurable 1-day work week. The biggest thing is, one needs more money in retirement than one may realize. Unfortunately, I'm lousy at budgeting. I've met people who sat on their hands after retirement because they had no hobbies. I don't think that will be...

So my band had a Christmas show on Saturday. An hour before we went on stage, the harmonica player had a stroke. Fortunately, our singer is a registered nurse and sussed what was happening. Cops showed up in 30 seconds, EMTs soon after. We think he's gonna be OK. But he was tech averse and...

In the north country, one doesn't use ice during in store tastings.

Lows below zero in the Tri-Lakes this weekend. Uff.
