Just before you called it quits (about 1pm) they opened up first one Merry Widow lift then the other, enabling us to get 4 runs from the top in before ending our day at 2. They were still blowing snow on that and Tannenbaum. Before that it was very frustrating.

We are staying in Bennington. Not exactly certain where we are skiing yes as I am waiting to see how conditions shape up and taking deals into account. Most likely one day at Jiminy in MA and one day at Mt. Snow. The latter day we are bringing two cousins as well so I will be Mr Skiing Camp Counselor.

Was annoying that the TTB trail did not open until just after 1. Really, you are going to start grooming the trail at 10am? The trail that was your justification for doubling the price to 40 after announcing Friday it would be 20. Still, kids paid nothing with their 4th grade ski passports so it was worth getting them back in the game before their first VT trip in 2 weeks.

Yeah but a more recent post changes it to 40. Will be there around opening, in black, chasing two girls with green and purple helmets.

Love appears to be TTB. That will probably get me and the kids out Sunday unless we decide to do Windham instead.

They are adding Love (no features) Sunday, more than doubling their skiable vertical (to 375 feet)

Still beats 22 though

Still no chance of Vista Sunday?

I went to Campgaw once since I used to work 15 minutes from there. Slow lifts, negligible vertical kinder 250 feet), and nothing as challenging as Vista. I would only bother with it if going to teach novices and it was around the corner. Less interesting than Spring.

Yep. 80s.

An unenclosed one with no seats would not. And really if I am going to take off my skis for any Gondola I want it to be a much longer run than is available at Blue or MC.

Yep that "Cabriolet" lift, along with the other main peak being all park, kills it for me.

To be clear, I am going to continue to pay my taxes. I will be less happy about it and will be more aggressive in finding legal deductions I can take. I do not advocate that anybody should pay more than they are required by law to pay. I will be decreasing donations to charity and redirecting those funds to groups determined to organize resistence to the incoming fourth reich administration, as I believe efforts to undermine this administration are the most important way to improve our society for the next four years.

Yes there are limits to how much should be provided to needy people and it is worth making sure the system is not ripe for abuse. My view is that we are not doing enough. I would also like to see more government spending on infrastructure repairs and improvements and believe that taxes should be raised in a progressive fashion to fund that.

Folks without jobs need food and shelter and doctors too. And folks with low paying jobs need enough money for those things as well.

No but I voluntarily donate money to charity, don't seek tax breaks, and vote for the candidates most likely to raise taxes. I will be more active in seeking to avoid federal taxes starting this year as I believe the federal government will become purely evil in 6 weeks. I don't want to support the 4th Reich.

Yeah we do irrational things sometime. I once spent 10 minutes extra in a grocery store line getting them to honor a $1 for 18 eggs deal. No way that was worth it, but when they try to not give to you the deal you thought you were getting the natural impulse is to push your point, not just accept it.

I am probably not in the minority with that thinking as I expect lots of poor people agree with me, though they are less likely to vote. I am probably in the minority among folks in my tax bracket.

For just me, no. For me and two kids to save 150 or so could be worth it.

Check out the NY ski blog forum and see the posts there. Also $5 vouchers for that day available from the Ski Company, with the closest location in Tully NY

No problem with taxes. They should be higher. We need to redistribute more money from wealthy people to needy people.
