    To be honest, I don't even know what hamburger helper is...and I'm not sure I want to find out.

    The Incredible Music Thread

    It looks like you're rockin' the soul and funky tunes while bashing in the bumps in your avatar photo from... the early 80's?

    The Incredible Music Thread

    This guy is really good. But, what is he doing walking around in a Home Depot while he is playing? Also, his guitar style is like James Taylor's. They both play a baseline with their thumbs while picking the melody. Very cool.

    Camp, the 2 most funky ones: and There are, of course, some others. A few in New Orleans, Bootsy, etc. But, IMHO, these 2 are the funk kings.

    Passes for 2020 - 2021

    ^^^ This. Just totally impractible for skiing and could actually make things worse by causing an increase congestion at the btm waiting for your next "lift time."

    Plattekill Conditions

    The trails at Plattekill rarely ever get crowded even when it is jammed packed with cars down the road. I'd imagine it has to do with limited crowds for the space of the lodge.

    Vail, Alterra, Consolidation and the Pendulum

    I copied this from my answer in the "Don't forget to cancel your reservations..." thread. As far as the pendulum, I think even if Vail and/or Alterra go under, there will always be a corporate presence in the industry. If they go under, I highly doubt each ski area would become fully...

    Don't forget to cancel your reservations....

    I was most definitely not kidding when I said: "The Borg have already assimilated all of Apple and Vail." As far as the pendulum, I think even if Vail and/or Alterra go under, there will always be a corporate presence in the industry. If they go under, I highly doubt each ski area would become...

    The Borg have already assimilated all of Apple and Vail. Now they've got you, Harv.

    Alpine Touring Thread

    I'm told shorter is better. IMHO, when buying a dedicated touring setup, it is more about the up. A shorter ski will necessarily be a bit lighter, but more importantly, but good buddy who lives at the base of the canyon in Utah and no longer takes lifts and only tours now, says a shorter ski...

    Don't forget to cancel your reservations....

    He shouldnt have been canceling. Thats what screwed him...guest services or not. He was canceling too late in the day, past the cut-off. He should have just skied and left when he wanted. He should return to guest services and/or call to complain

    I've done it. My next purchase (non ski-related) will probably be an hydrolic jack.

    Why was Belle late to open today??

    After Belle Ringer's intriguing post, this was a very unfulfilling response.

    Winter Weather 20/21

    This is the reality of skiing in the East. Unfortunately, we're facing reality more often with climate change.

    Just a play on your screenname. Perhaps, I'm showing my age... The Jeffersons was a TV show in the 1970's. A spin-off of All in the Family actually. Mrs. George Jefferson's first name in the show (or at least her nickname) was Weezy.

    I never thought Mrs. Jefferson was a skier. I stand corrected!
