    Today’s Paddle

    Not today but earlier this spring So when I went and bought a boating permit at the Harriman Park office a month or so ago, for some reason I decided to spring for the extra twenty bucks to get access to Sterling Forest’s lakes and ponds too. The first one I drove to was barely a puddle so I...

    Summer Weather 2025

    I mean, I’m not confessing to any crimes or anything - how many times do you have to streak before you’re a “streaker”?

    Ah, to be young again and feel the wind in my hair… I mean all of my hair… something the Gen Z’ers I know will never experience… or understand

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    I just find it uncomfortable. Could be the particular ear muffs I have. The 3Ms are comfortable and block out ALL the outside noise

    Peak Ski Co. Goes Down

    The booze I business is full of stories like these. They cut in a celebrity on a startup to try and get attention for an otherwise ill conceived project. It usually doesn’t work but I have a half dozen or so pics of me standing next to celebrities at sales meetings. Danny Devito and Messier...

    Wow I didn’t realize that had been given its own spot on the website. Excellent stuff

    Detachable vs Fixed Grip Lifts

    The crowding on the trails is what I like to avoid. It comes from too much overall lift capacity. That’s actually a whole different issue- skier density. Snoloco did the math on that years ago- acreage divided by uphill capacity or something like that. The winners were the hills you would...

    Detachable vs Fixed Grip Lifts

    “High speed” has some kind of magic effect on casual skiers’ brains. I heard Jim Schafer once reference a statistic that adding a high speed quad to your lift fleet increases pass sales by about 20%. This was when BE and Cat still didn’t have any detachables. I’m still mostly against them

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Junior worked on Greek’s quad a little bit this past winter. Apparently there’s a space under the carpet that can get clogged up with snow and generate faults and errors. Then they have to either turn off the carpet and throw snow on it or shut down the whole lift long enough to go underneath...

    Today's Swim

    It’s certainly a complicated topic. I would not know about the blue hole without the internet but I can see (and could already see in- holy shit- 2016) how it was eventually ruined by it. I wonder if Shane read my blog post and decided not to come on because of it. Oh well. Not for nothing but...
