Good day today. Got on the lift early to beat the crowd a little. Didn’t see as many Gore people as I expected. The snow was good but the best part was that I didn’t notice the flat light all the other old farts were complaining about. Last year I was the top flat light crybaby. Cataract...

Sno trains made sense when Schenectady to North Creek was a 4 hour drive in a Model A that might not make it, or when it was an 8 hour train trip to spend a week in northern Vermont, but all that was a long time ago. Interstate highways and air travel killed all that. Busses make more sense but...

Is there an Uber for helicopters? mm

Back when even high spec Hondas came with steel wheels dealers would take them off and upsell to alloys. Those take offs were cheap. Now only the cheapest Civic has steel wheels and you can’t find take offs. Also, Tire Rack for winter wheels. Not as good as they were before they were bought...

Gore is opening next Friday! It doesn’t see what will be open. Maybe Ski Bowl only? https://goremountain.com/the-mountain/conditions/ Belle too. mm

How are they gonna run it without a connection to the main mountain? Is there enough parking at Ski Bowl to support $40 Million? Are they still using porta potties? Is that what they're gonna highlight? mm

Maybe snowmaking is the new wastewater plan: https://montanafreepress.org/2025/10/07/state-approves-big-sky-resort-plan-to-turn-wastewater-into-snow/ Win/win? mm

WTF?!? Does anyone think Ski Bowl is gonna open anytime in the next 10 weeks? Are they trying to open Ski Bowl before the top this year? AFAIK they're still using porta potties at Ski Bowl, so we got that that going for us. mm

It’s snowing in Clifton Park now 😎😛🙂 mm

Also, if Ski Bowl is gonna be such a big attraction, where is the parking? Why not new lots there instead of Peaceful Valley Road? mm

Reading between the lines there it seems like ORDA spent $40 million on something Johnsburg didn't really want. I think if a mountain manager of a private ski area would be fired immediately if he called an elected official (with taxing powers) a liar in pubic. The town isn't any better than...

I'm not surprised. Of you cannot accept the support of people are assholes you will never have much support at all. Would you not sell a car to a PTA member? mm

I don't get that. You are against them even when they are on your side? Or you don't care enough about XC to support more trails, but you expect XC skiers to support you when you want snowmobile trials? You never get the perfect thing to vote on, and usually you have to hold your nose to vote at...

It wasn't the ski trails part. It was the zero information about what land is to be acquired that makes you wonder what they are really up to. mm

I voted yes. I listened to @Campgottagopee's objection, and I agree there was not enough information about what land they would acquire, but I also think there must be some reason this must be corrected now after all these years. If prop 1 fails the problem will still need to be corrected, and...

i don't understand your point but if someone tried to put a zippy thingy in my back yard I'm pretty sure I'd call the cops. mm

It's not that there hasn't been improvements or that we don't enjoy the mountain. It's just that some of us think that Ski Bowl has become a costly low elevation white elephant that will be open only a few weeks, and that $30 million could have been better spent on the part of that mountain that...

The Hudson quad won’t be open for at least a couple of months, probably not till mid January. Why do you care about that lodge? Were you planning Christmas dinner there? mm

My condolences. mm

Can anyone rant here or is it just for Robert? Asking for a friend. mm
