Ha! Reminds me of one time skiing at Stratton. It was brutally cold. I shared a chair with a guy and ended up skiing a couple runs with him. We decided to stop at the lodge up top to warm up. I was a bit surprised to find out my new buddy was black. We were both totally covered with facemasks and such. I think he had mirrorized goggles. I thought it was funny. And I must admit, a little shocking. How many African Americans do you see on the hill?

Or Asian Americans? It depends on where you are. Out in Tahoe, probably more diversity than in upstate NY. I know a lot of Asian Americans make the drive from California.
At Massanutten, I'd say on holiday weekends it's feels like almost half of the people sitting around the lodge are non-white. While many are relatively new immigrants from Asia, there are also quite a few Black multi-generational families who have owned timeshare at Massanutten for decades. Washington DC and Richmond are a couple hours drive away. Also a popular vacation stop for military folks who drive from Norfolk.

Already exists . . . in Ohio. It became part of Epic after VR bought Peak Resorts.
Ever ski on Christmas Day? I was a minority at Greek. Must be a thing, like Jews going out for Chinese on Christmas.

During my time at Smuggs we had the NBS there for a week. Most of them couldn't ski for shit, but holy crap were they pro's at having fun!! Only when the nurses came down from Quebec was the fun meter any higher.
Twas a while back but these white folks went to grab some food after the neighbor's dog ate their Christmas turkey.
Yup.
