  1. I didn't mean it like personally towards you I was just saying in general....its like catcher in the rye, decent enough book but most people just read it because lots of other people said it was super dope
  2. The Great Gatsby is the worst book people pretend to like to seem smart lol
  3. 400 parkpro is about 200k list price, really nice range of motion in the front and rear attachments....should be a nice addition to the group. My guess is the logic is a new groomer is in the long range cheaper, has less risk as it only marginally adds to expense and benefits the whole mtn were as 600ft of new trail doesn't. Energy costs are the second highest expense at Blue type resorts and 70-80% of that is on snowmaking, pumping water uphill is expensive so I'd guess you won't get investment in getting the new trail up to par until they have a good season. During the week the place is mostly empty, in my experience it's only full thurs (sort of) and Friday night and sat/sun morning afternoons. Most of this is bs fluff but there are some nuggets about the $ situation - http://emsenv.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/Blue-Mountain-Case-Study.pdf?__hssc=256830548.33.1472043258624&__hstc=256830548.405064ff4dfdcfdd9590a6b43c18f605.1459786993079.1471980468020.1472043258624.236&__hsfp=2227798652&hsCtaTracking=bd081b4f-04f4-43b7-91ef-57b56fdd0075%7Ca8b9098f-73a6-4289-adae-74b06bf806e0

    Tent sales

    Technically yes but it's been in my cousins basement forever so not really

    Tent sales

    I've used them too, they have a nice wintersteiger and they just throw them on the machine. As long as your cool with just a basic grind they do a good job and are quick. Nice to take a pair of skis back to base and then tune from there.
  6. So dope......what a perfect 4mins
  7. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgLkdth62eI#t=02m6s Models showing some cold air coming into the NE maybe snow about 3kft
  8. Gotta do what you gotta do.....only person who can answer that is you, shit i've driven three hours (1 1/2 each way) to get there at 8:30 and peaced out an hour later. I view my season pass as I paid whatever it cost for the first run and everything after is gravy....if I go skiing at night and its total dog shit where even I can't find something to be happy about and I ski 5 runs I don't care. All things are economic in some sense but skiing is a break from that kinda shit, I'm putting wood and metal boards on my feet and going downhill at high speed, it's not a rational thing in some sense. There is a day almost every season that makes the pass worth it, it's the good days certainly where it snows but sometimes it's the random Tuesday night where its just stupid weather or somebody said something really funny and that's what the season pass buys me. Work sucks, people suck, maybe I'm taking shit too seriously so let's go skiing and remember what's important in life. I've been driving alot alot for many years though so I'm used to being in the car for a good portion of my day. What's weird maybe is that on one hand you learn to really enjoy the time alone at peace while at the same time little regular traffic will drive you nuts because you feel your whole fucking life is spent in the car.
  9. CB is the tits mcgee, like a little telluride. Really good terrain for CO and the town is cool too. There is a thai place, I know right thai in CO ? but it's seriously seriously good.
  10. That's a fun ski, real hootenanny, not the 103i from years ago but it's slightly softer brethren. Love those drive drive drive drive skis
  11. That's actually kinda deep lol Well the boat is part of the Park Range which is part of the Continental Divide specifically the Great Divide, 50 to 80 million years ago a bunch of plates slide under the NA plate and hence the Rocky Mountains. Ute Indians I think used to hunt in the Valley and then some dude named Crawford made a homestead there to trap. He did pretty well and the Utes were safe traders so other people showed up and soon enough they had a community. There is also alot of shit in the ground there, the largest coal and onyx mines in CO are near Steamboat.
  12. Generally Stowe, snow is generally better and the terrain is the tits but WF is definitely worth the visit....I like to get around
  13. Belleayre is the only profitable portion of ORDA, bell got transferred from DEC into ORDA as ORDA is the Olympic group that runs whiteface and Von Hovenberg. Bell this year wasn't even in the og budget and every year prior to that various parts of the NY congress scrap together about a million bucks to keep the place running. Bell has a 75million plan since 2010 called UMP or Unit Management Plan that up until the gondy the state hadn't actually provided a nickle of. Bell due to it's proximity to NYC and other population centers particularly in comparison to Lake Placid makes it a potential gold mine. Everyone knows this and this year finally they got 8million form albany. Think about Okemo and then compare it with say Bell, leave the mtns out I'm talking everything else that encompasses why people go to a specific place on vacation and bell doesn't hold a candle. How many people on this website of extremely avid skiers one state away have ever been to Keene Valley NY ? What about Whiteface ? NY has NYC but the rest of the state is mostly empty with very little to do in terms of work. ADK is poor, like WV poor and the skills aren't much better and the fix is simple get money into these ares, develop the tremendous potential for tourism and people will have jobs and schools won't suck and all that shit. Let's see 1.50 a head because after all 8mil out of a 160billionish budget is a very small %, to potentially improve vast areas of the poorest parts of your state on projects that generate revenue directly back to you or I give that 1.50 back to each person, hmmm this is really tough I wonder which of the two of those one should do ? I bet there is no way that 1.50 from each person can come back to them with about x1000000 times more value like lets say having workers companies actually want to employ which among many things keeps people out of prison, off welfare, adds additional money multipliers to the overall economy etc etc You yell endlessly to keep your $1.50 because you don't understand at all how it saves you $1000's, your one of the smartest people I know you can't tell me you don't know this rather you choose to pretend you don't. Bell UMP if you want to know the deal - http://www.dec.ny.gov/docs/permits_ej_operations_pdf/bellump4.pdf
  14. Anytime I go to yoga all I realize is I'm the least flexible person alive
  15. Maybe if I did something like worthwhile to society I'd feel differently but I'm right there with you. I don't mind my job but I wouldn't spend one more second here if I didn't have to.
  16. I feel like for the last 100 years they claim they've added hundreds of trees.....unless it looked like the moon before it should be the god damn amazon rain forest by now
  17. hhahaha I'm stupid I didn't see the OG date of this post
  18. Let me check my closet and I'll let you know what I got
  19. This year I have to take a touring trip I haven't gone the last two years which is way too fucking long.....maybe wrangle some other fools into a King trip
  20. x1000 I've had days as good as anywhere out west in VT add in the tight trees and general coolness of VT and it can be a truly wondrous place. If you stick to the groomers I can see how VT is just a longer PA but get outside of that and it doesn't hold a candle. Jeff fucking loves VT
  21. Who wanted people to die ? That's fucked up................even if I really hated like Bob from Miami beach I wouldn't wreck half a state just to fuck one guy
  22. Tequila, not even fucking around, she was my cousin's best friend and I went to the bar with them in the summer after college. I've had more than my fair share of women and I mostly look homeless, be confident but not a dick and be somebody they want to be around and they'll be around.......also dance well lol
  23. Being good looking gets you in the door but being entertaining keeps them around. Your legit funny, lots of women would be in to you for that reason alone.
  24. A whole bunch of stuff is actually stronger, replacement acl's are definitely stronger though the attachment points I think are worse. With a hard cast your pretty golden........If you ride with in your jacket people will be super super nice because they think you only have one arm
