What about the last sentence that you quoted? Skin in the woods at a resort. You'll have you bathrooms and taco trucks. Also, while you say "I'm a newbie Jong" you need to add cranky, Benny. (Said with ✌️ and love..as Ringo would say it).

Love that song snd that is a really cool version. Funky intro is hot. I dont know Nathan I'll have to check him out.

He and the rest of VR are hedge fund money guys not true skiers. That is what it is for them. Look at Hunter. That place is a cash cow. If you think about it, they do and have been doing one of the most amazing jobs in the ski industry for decades. But, no sorry, we're going to change things...

Yeah, I heard those guys have been hanging out with Ariel Quiros and Jim Barnes.

They need a transfer tow up there like at Alta.

Still slicing the Axe, Warp?

Yes, they had a backhoe in there a 4-6 weeks ago and some trails were closed, I think for access for the machines...not sure if temporary or not. I haven't read much about what they're building I think maybe a pump track too. Let's hit it in the spring.

It just gets a little scary when your front wheel comes down on an angle...

There is a reason why there are bumper stickers that say: "Vail Sucks". You're still thinking this is Covid related, huh? If it were Covid related they would have mentioned that. "Excluded from work" is lawyerspeak that means nothing.

This is pretty much what I heard. Like Harv, I believe my source(s) are reliable. Also, Vail took away other things...lifetime passes after 15 years of patrol service. A friend's son, who is a certified EMT and patroled at Hunter for a good number of years, was looking for a new gig over late...

Shit, I'm freakin' late to the party, again! Harv, I hope you're still feeling better and yesterday was just the beginning. ??

Meanwhile back on topic....I hear Hunter closed solely due to a patrol walk-out and not Covid related.

Perhaps this thread his morphed a bit...but along the same tangent: One beautiful, late spring day at Killington, I arrive early and get a great spot at the Superstar lift. I was starting the day solo, so I booted up, finished my tea and breakfast and then got on the queue. I loaded what was...

Paper of Record.

Very cool, Sno. Your knowledge of lifts has always been inpressive. Oh, and it's nice to see you finally moved from Jersey to NY. ?⛷?❄

This is pretty much holiday skiing at most "resorts" in the east, no?

I have a pair of XCD's, with Alpina boots (a low leather boot with a duckbill) and a Voile 3 pin (not sure of the model). I've had them for years and use them mostly for bushwhacking the local trails when there is snow. I bought them for local use and use them in marginal conditions. They have...

Love me some Rufus. Chaka was never the same after Rufus!

Tototally. Think about someone like Laszlo and Plattekill, Belleayre's closest (at least as far as distance) competition. No state budget to fill the coffers, no real worry about cost overruns or where they will get money/line of credits etc. (they will be there next year). I don't think this...

Who wants to skin up a ski trail? For me, skinning is just as much to get away from people as it is anything else. It's about exercise and gliding on soft snow, not man-made groomers. Even if you're at a resort, just climb in the woods.
