Says hardly anyone before this storm.

Fast, but smart move at the bottom. Short walk to the Bavarian, more room coming in. Sweet snow conditions.

Taos

I hope so.

Saturday morning up and Sunday evening down have been ridiculous for a few decades now.. It's a recreational suburb of the Front Range, which grows like a weed all the time. Bye bye.

Was my "home" mountain for three seasons. All the money in the world can't fix their parking problem. Well, a little, but a huge garage that would accommodate big SUVs with boxes would be quite the eyesore, and lord knows where they would put it.

Yup. Europe is just more attractive year by year. I'll never forget the first day I skied Abasin in my first year of skiing. After I took a beginners week at Killington, my buddy said, ok, you know how to ski, you're coming to Summit with us in March. (I diluted the condo cost by sleeping on...

So they bought A basin. F***. I'm glad I got my days in there, because that place was the only reason I would ever go back to Summit.

Awkward.

Gee, it would be great if some of it went to subsidized employee housing, better parking, and cheap transit to hills. The world doesn't need another six pack. But, that would be socialism. Something tells me these money people aren't socialists.

Craigslist killed newspapers (want ads were a huge income source) and the internet killed magazines. When I worked for SI, TV was the big competition, but they dealt with everyone getting the scores immediately with in depth coverage, but the ad suck from the web was the final blow. Well, that...

Yeah, honestly, in the end, it was a miserable place to work at times. The family from Wisconsin who owns the company are selfish, nasty people. I wish them the worst, but they'll do fine if they don't blow their trust funds. But, I got to live right on Broadway in Saratoga for three years, and...

Not many manufacturing jobs around there. Tough to be middle class. And the RE is getting absurd in that town. It was somewhat affordable twenty years ago, but WFH has made it the Aspen of upstate. The track season doesn't help. Some people rent their homes for the season and do very well.

Haha, I get this in my mailbox today. Reminds me of the old Fernando routine on SNL. It's better to look good than feel good. https://www.epicpass.com/info/gondola-gallery.aspx

She should do well with the right lawyer. Just dont fall for the lifetime pass thing. Well, maybe with a ski in and out condo. I'd take that. Haha. Sueing a liftie. Talk about blood from a stone. Saturated with alcohol and weed.

Well, yeah, sure. But that liftie had to get to his happy hour asap. Priorities. And even if Vail fires him/her, oh, boohoo. I guess he/she can leave that minimum wage gig off their resume.

I just saw an article that she entered the gondola at the top at 4:58 to download to it's base because she was "too tired" to ride down. The lifts stop running at 4, of course. Why was she "too tired" almost an hour after the mountain shut down? Hmmm...is there a nice bar in that top gondola...

"The hours felt long as Laso said she was fighting the cold by rubbing her hands and feet." What a horror. This company is turning into the Boeing of skiing.

Well, I've whined about midweek operations at Gore here before, but, I'll do it again. One time in around '05 I drove up there on a Tuesday after it dumped a foot and a half, and was still snowing. After a few quickies off the gondola back down to the base, I made it to the top in my powder...
