Hunter didn't open today.

He and the rest of VR are hedge fund money guys not true skiers. That is what it is for them.

Look at Hunter. That place is a cash cow. If you think about it, they do and have been doing one of the most amazing jobs in the ski industry for decades. But, no sorry, we're going to change things around. McNugget the entire mountain. It's like China with Hong Kong, slowly, the monster will bring in its prey.

(I actually like Hunter (on weekdays) its VR that is the evil one).

I like it too. It's a lot of fun with snow. I hope they fix this weekday thing, but, at this point, it's all day to day, I guess.

I hate Vail, but, they'll probably see a rebound next year just like all travel related business, because there's so much pent up demand, and they own everything. And, the average skier loves them.

They literally punish you for life happening.

Over in Europe, with the ski season shot to shit, ski travel providers are already seeing heavy bookings for 2022.

I'm not booking yet, but, count me in when the all clear sounds.

A lot of Boomers have had their most finite asset, time, just taken from them, leaving most of their other assets intact. Hell, they have even more money because they haven't spent any. I just lost a season and a half (last March), and I don't have many left.

Hear ya!

While we have generally spent less money in the COVID world, takeout food is starting to nibble at those savings lately.....

Oh, dude, cook. Cheaper, better, more social when you can invite people over soon.

True. Did lots of cooking for most of COVID so far, just seem to be in an ease of takeout rut lately!

Relax and Pace yourself Benny.

I'm thinking stock prices are strong because the Fed is loaning money which depresses interest rates and causes lots of stock buy backs. The question is whether this is a stock bubble or if stock buy backs support prices in a stable way. Nevertheless, if you're a boomer with a decent portfolio you're in good shape financially. If you're a young guy who works for a living, especially in travel/restaurant trades, don't expect help from us boomers if you neglected to build up your assets. That would be socialism or moral hazard or something.
