It was a franchise. But, yeah, you probably never heard of 2 or 3.

I wouldn't say that most of that skier growth is local, although a lot of it probably is, of course. SLC is a cheap and easy flight from LA, SF, Phoenix, Seattle, and other places in the growing west, and it's the closest airport to skiing in the west. Even Newark has a direct early flight that...

I'm thinking that the reasoning behind that was the same as replacing the MRG single with a single. Tradition and loyal customer base and all that. I'll bet the folks at Alterra have plans, but, who is going to buy a lightly used double?

Phew. Glad I didn't go back that way. I did fill up with Oscars on the way up.

Yeah, that was close.

Oh c'mon, it was cool.

That was the coolest thing, besides the amazing eclipse I can now say seems to be impossible to photograph. It's the most amazing thing you can see with the naked eye in the sky. (The actual eclipse) There are stars and planets suddenly visible, too. The horizon of the shadow. It's all around you.

There were millions of people up there. We had stop and go on the Northway at Glens Falls at 10:30am. Did not take that back, snaked down Rt.30 instead. That had an hour stop and go through Indian Lake.

I have to come back and say that my prediction for low traffic was totally wrong. We found a place just south of Tupper Lake, and it took a long time getting back to Saratoga. But, I agree, total totally blows away partial. Pretty cool.

This is the same mountain, not too long ago, that replaced the Pallavicini double with a ... double. Right at the base. At least screams Quad. So you wonder if that double is going to be one of the most short lived new chairs, like, evah, if the new boss has it's way. They may be playing it...

Hmmm. Keith Richards dying?

Haha. Super 8. "Roughly 45 percent of Super 8s within 25 miles of the center path of totality that still had vacancies were listing rooms for at least double their usual price. One Super 8 in Grayville, Ill., advertised $949 a night for a Sunday-Tuesday stay. Its normal advertised nightly rate...

Ikon adds St. Moritz. https://www.stormskiing.com/p/st-moritz-switzerland-joins-ikon?utm_campaign=email-post&r=3ib01&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email Should be free to read in a few days if you are not a subscriber to Stuart. Three hours from Milan, which is a cheap direct flight from JFK.

Smart. People in Maine are thinking, not gouging. I'm trying to remember what direction you're looking out on when at Saddleback. If that big valley is west, nice.

I'm waiting until June to find these things on the Internet for a discount.

Something tells me he hasn't had a date in years.

Yaaah. Jeez, never want to die in an avi, but that's worse. Burning to death. If I remember, there was a competitive American skier or boarder on that thing when it lit up. Tire blew, I think, and that started it.

I'm wondering if most, if not all of those 17 a year are inbounds.
