What a run! RIP Betsy.

Keep your skis well waxed, scraped, structured for best performance in wet conditions (good wax job keeps your skis sliding predictably/helps prevent sticking). If that's not possible, carry some of this and apply as needed...

At this point, I think they qualify as chaps, so as to not wreck the ski pants while shwacking through tight trees?

I like that the ORDA areas remain ski areas and so far haven't turned into resorts. Though I know there are draft plans...

So where do all of the people go who would've been waiting with you at the bottom? Wouldn't they increase the crowding at the top and on the way down?

So your ideal mountain would be a conga line up and down? Please keep me posted on whatever ski area you end up managing. so I can avoid it. My opinion, quite contrary to yours, is that skiing and most joyful things (socializing, beers, sex, music, movies, reading, etc.) aren't efficient at all...

Mount Raimer?

I also got logged in a another user (can't remember who--2 letters and a number for a username?) and around 6:30am the forum seemed to think it was still yesterday (posts from last night were allegedly posted a few minutes ago and were considered "today", according to the software).

Nothing says "stick it to the man" or "I'm being oppressed" like skiing. On a weekday. Good that you kept your cool--I'm not sure beating someone in front of your daughter to protect her from cursing would send the intended message ;-)

I've been impressed with the materials and construction so far. I've had a pair for at least 3 seasons. I love the removable liners that come in two different weights--one like a liner glove, the other is really seriously warm.

In the same category, I've been running Nokian Outpost ATPs on my Ridgeline for a year now. So far, so good. They come in weighing on par with the OEM all-seasons, so mileage isn't affected, much (deeper tread does add some drag), and they've been really good in all of the driving I've been...

I'd consider getting to know the nearest/best tractor dealer/service to where you're going to live to figure out what brand to get. Unless you've got a truck and a trailer to haul your tractor. Regarding tractor snow plowing, my 85-year-old dad maintains his farm with a(n?) LS MT4 with a...

I view it as wishful thinking: Wouldn't you prefer to ski a foot of powder on a 100mm+ every time you go? So that's the ski you want. Most of the time, we get hardpack, or maybe corduroy, but I know I'm still dreaming about 12" of dry fluff...

To be fair, most of the problems at ski areas are indeed caused by people who love to ski. And I'd be interested to know when the last time was that people from metro areas didn't make up a significant segment of the patrons of major ski areas from the Poconos on up to Jay Peak and everything in...

You can be miserable anywhere. Choose to not be.

Are you her publicist?

It's not about you, it's about rooting out the worst lift attendants that aren't meeting quota. Sorry, I meant "cast members", not lift attendants.

That's actually a fact. ;-)
