Actually i think the "hotel house" is funnier.

Just in case anyone doubted my previous statement that "Barb doesnt do anything half-assed", this should make that even more apparent. Nice set up Barb!

Which makes you wonder what kind of thinking went into Blue posting that its fair game with natural snow. "hey, lets litter this new trail with pointy objects sticking out of the ground and then tell people we are cool with them skiing on it if they like."

I broke down and turned the heat on in my house last night. Kinda wish we had more open the windows type weather this fall, but at this point, lets just make it snow.

They should actually say its 305,000 sq ft, which sounds massive to most people.

The robot is on the look out for spills on the floor. Never know when some pregnant woman's water will break or when that 3 yr old pees on the floor. I dont get it either, but it doesnt end up in front of me in line looking for exact change.

You guys expecting improvements at Blue will be disappointed. I, on the other hand expect nothing, so any improvement will be a nice surprise.

i love self checkout. But then again, you have these people that abuse it by taking a cart full of groceries in it. Alot of people frown on self checkout as its basically a way for the store to get you to work for them. I'm totally fine with it if it gets me out of the store quicker.

Dont get me started with people paying by check at a grocery store. Or people that feel the need to search every pocket, purse, etc to find the 47 cents to make exact change. This is why 90% of my shopping is done online. I have recently begun purchasing the non perishable grocery items from Amazon. If anybody needs coffee, deodorant, or shampoo, let me know.

is that a direct copy and paste from last year?

When i bought my last pair, they would give you some type of credit for a pair of skis without non indemnified bindings on them. not sure if thats the case anymore, but i think it just applied to purchasing skis. Im pretty sure you can put your shit in their sale though. If anyone goes to Blue for the tent sale, go crazy early, and anticipate standing in a line to get in, and then a crazy long line to get checked out. Good deals to be had surrounded by standing in lots of lines.

Thats my take on it as well. Its a fucking amusement. It doesnt fit into the definition of commuter train. You get on it, you ride around on it, and it brings you back to the exact place you got on it. Obligatory train pic.

They sure do. My lawn elves showed up yesterday. I had a blanket of leaves around some huge tree i have that seems to be dropping leaves before any other tree. When i got home, all gone. What a great day. I should have taken a pic.

What ever gives you a woody, so........but, what the fuck makes your lawn grow? I'm in leaf mode, and thats all on me, so wish me luck. I can not stand having leaves on the ground when it snows.

Thats not quite the information i got off FB. Remember, thats where i get my news from. Most people on FB are blaming the local government. My guess is, another local business person figured out he's not really paying all of the taxes he should, and is finding that unfair. (as would i) i have read on FB the "guy" is making plenty of money riding people around on his train. Its on FB, so, you know, all true.

Seriously.....im ok if i never go to that again. its just so fucking crowded.

im not sure who is ruining what here. Who knows what the truth is, but i have read just about enough stories on who to blame here, i think the next one will have zombies, or aliens in it. Basically the guy running the tourist train says he "does it for basically no money, and just a way to thank the town". Thank the town? thats what flowers are for. My money is on this - the guy makes plenty of money with the tourist train, but in the past the town has waived the tax. Now he cant afford to put 20's and the alligator skin leather seats in his porsche.

I think $250 is high as well, but if you get it,......party! i surely would not pay $250 for skis that have repeatedly sprayed shit in my face. They might be fun to run over though, so lets see if they sell. You got your money out of those skis for sure.

Careful, you are going to overwhelm Toast with those lines in the grass.

Facebook is my go to source for all my news. I find its the best way to get the most accurate news ahead of everybody else.

I just saw on FB a model showing snow 12 days out. Will it happen? Probably not, but at least it shows there might be some cold air starting to come around.

Is it still actually growing, or is it whatever disorder you have that makes you do this? My grass quit growing weeks ago.

Its my guess, but you bought a pass at Blue based on the price, correct? It seems like you would rather ski at Camelback.

"coming soon". I mean, c'mon, what else do you want? I feel like they dont have to make improvements. People just continue to give them money without them having to do much. I mean, look, they got Salty to buy a pass there. And 2 years in a row, no less.
