Baseball has an antitrust exemption. Current State of the MLB Exemption

Haven't had a problem with mine. Been using it for 4 years. I like that it is very light and compact. Rated for 300 pounds. I do make sure that it is completely folded out and on a solid surface when I use it.

I use a step like this to load my kayak on top of my Outback. It's light and it folds flat. Folding Step

While people like skiers who generally drive long distances are interested in long electric range, most trips from home are seven miles or less. Running to the grocery store, drug store, school, work, etc. With a range of 30 miles electric, most people would seldom have a plug in hybrid kick...

The oldest one is only 11 years old? One only 5 years old? Who is maintaining these things? Evidently no one. How much do these things cost? They need to hire a fleet manager to insure that these things are properly operated and maintained. The payback would be huge. Can anyone name another ski...

That's the thing about grits, it's always the things you mix in with the grits that are good. Not the grits itself.

I lived in the south for 8 years. There's no such thing as good grits.

I stopped riding on the road years ago. I don't even have a road bike anymore. The roads around me are narrow with little or no shoulders. The increased traffic due to developed has made the roads busier. But the biggest thing is I don't want to get run over by someone on their phone texting...

I had the good fortune to get a private tour of Rick Hendrick's private collection a number of years ago. The building is literally a museum. Most of the cars are Corvettes and Camaros. I could have spent hours there. One thing not often mentioned is that on the mezzanine of the building is his...

Only thing I would add to Dom's powder suggestions is; Don't try to go slow to get the "feel" for it. You need some speed to get the float and to turn. I liken the balance of the left and right ski akin to turning on water skis.

If you can ski blues here with hardpack and icy spots you can easily ski the soft snow you generally run into out west.

Welcome JK_PA. I learned to ski at Spring Mountain. I try to get there once a year just to support them. Haven't been in few years but it is a great little feeder hill. If you haven't tried Bear Creek you might want to check it out. A little bigger than Spring Mountain and has a great lodge and...

I think that there is a lack of instructions on how to use them. I have a friend who hates them but he refuses to grasp the idea that all you have to do is slide onto the conveyor then do NOTHING but sit down on the chair when it reaches you. He insists on clomping forward on the conveyor as if...

Ah. I get it. Sarcasm. :)

A win-win for Vail but not the customer. Its Vail/Customer = Win/Lose

I will miss those as well. But a new lift could be installed in a different alignment that would allow Atlas to be reopened past Epicurus all the way down the lift line.

A high speed lift is much more complicated than a fixed grip. The technology was relatively new 30 years ago and like anything else, has been improved over the years to be more reliable and less costly to repair. Today's high speed lifts will last much longer than their predecessors.

I find the 85 to 90 percent hard to believe. I've been selling production equipment for over 30 years. If machines are maintained on a regular basis they can last a long time. Granted some have better bones than others like the Hall lifts that are running after 60 years. We also rebuild and...

Agree. We've all heard the old adage, "How do you end up with a million dollars in the ski industry?" Start with $50 million.

Agreed. I first skied Greek Peak in the late 70's and until the new owners took over about the only change I saw since then was removing the T-bar and replacing it with a used double lift. All the money was going across the road to the condos and water park. There's been more improvements to the...
