Farmer's Almanac delivers a good forecast for this upcoming winter (if you like snow). https://www.farmersalmanac.com/extended-forecast

I once drove through a toll booth for the Bay Bridge in Oakland in full a werewolf costume including detailed make-up and glued-on hair on my face and hands. The toll collector literally fell on the floor of her booth laughing. (Yes, it was Halloween.)

Well they need room for the beginner area at the top of the mountain.

This is the report from Magic: Vermont Flooding

I can think of a very high-profile instance where this approach has been quite successful.

And the Epic-azation of Hunter.

I have a feeling you will need to pay tax in NY whether or not ORDA exists. I like having Gore, Whiteface and Belleayre even with all of their stupid nice lodges and new lifts.

The total NYS budget for 2024 is $229 billion (source) ORDAs budget is $105 million (cited earlier). A single filer making $100,000 per year, with no deductions pays about $5,200 in NY State taxes. Since ORDA's budget is 0.046% of the overall budget, that strawman is paying $2.39 toward ORDA. If...

Where does this end? Are we going to start complaining that Killington doesn't *really* have over 3,000 vertical too now?

Sadly I am of the same mind. And I think it's both: the gondola and Epic.

I double-checked the date line expecting it to say April 1, not June 1.

Not sure, but a quick Google search makes it seem like everyone has/had a watermelon beer. Toasted Lager and Hoptical Illusion are both perfectly acceptable beers, however.

Probably right, but they weren't the best prior to Bud either. I do have the benefit of being able to get it directly from the tap at the brewery, so I am biased.

Check out their Blue Point Brewery brands. Used to be a small micro (about 3 miles from where I live), but they have expanded distribution, without a drop in quality since the Bud acquisition a few years ago. Built a cool brew pub too. https://www.bluepointbrewing.com/brewery/

I have been to the Meat Store about a dozen times. Based on several interactions with the fine folks who work there, I get the feeling that they don't want 'our' business.

I think the real news is that there are professional zip liners and disc golfers.
