This is an actual picture of @Johnny Law and I in telluride.

BB will be closed in <5 years.

I even wore the night cap like Bert. Most fun I've had in a bedroom with no funny business

Lots of condos and housing around lots of now lost ski areas too...

Rumor has it Crested Butte is the spot next season. Only western hill that I'm pretty sure that I'm skiing next season is Arizona Snowbowl. Not sure about anything else out west yet. Outside of PA Probably whiteface / ORDA again. I've been mapping out trips by car from the phoenix area. Joshua Tree is 4.5 hours. Death valley is about 5.5. these are places that I've been wanting to visit and could very well skip skiing to see these places. When in Rome. I just need to figure it all out.

True story. Phillycore and I slept in bunk beds at @Barbs old place in winter park. Dan had the baller suite that trip.

Their business model would say why operate two when one will do? At least that's my opinion. If you have a house near BB now, you're most likely going to just move your skiing to JF, and still buy an Epic pass. Seems like an easy decision to me.

Less than. Ya never know. We’ve been told every year for the last decade that Blue has been sold. Yet, here we are.

I support this bet. I hope you win!

The real wager is top bunk vs bottom bunk on this ski trip.

What shall we wager? You win.... we go on a ski trip next season. I win...we go on a ski trip next season. Deal?

A wise man once told me that opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one.

I want whatever you're smoking. What is "super weird" about the Pocono market? I think the bean counters at Vail know *exactly* what they're doing. They're not just buying places because they're guessing at a business plan. It's all calculated.

I would love to be a fly on the wall of a Vail meeting where they talk about Big Boulder and Jack Frost. To me the issue is that you've got a resort group that doesn't fully understand the ins and outs of the super weird market that the Poconos is. At vail corporate I would be shocked if there are many people who naturally think that snow tubing is a big part of the ski business. Even if that was communicated to them when they bought the place it's hard to break preconceived notions. Eventually they will either figure it all out or they simply won't and the place will be seen as a loser to them. I doubt they will think too much about last year since it was a pandemic and everything was all sorts of messed up. Maybe they give boulder 5 years to see what happens but their attitudes need to change about daily operations if it's going to survive.

I think as soon as we see lights being installed at Jack Frost we know the end is near for Boulder. Until then they fill a regional night skiing need.

Thats what i’m saying,....without saying it, since the lift relocation might be a rumor. all those degrees you got, and you give them five years? Man thats being really generous.

He took Bear from a local hill to being more of a destination.
