Switchback is Upper and Lower and you can't ski one without the other. I don't even know where Upper ends and Lower begins.

Calling it Plunge would would be a joke compared to Plunge at Plattekill. Maybe call it "Not Plunge".

They're counting to the bottom of the tubing hill? These "Best of" Lists are always a joke. Does Camelback advertise in Conde Naste Traveller?

Best Ski Resorts in the U.S. & Canada Who writes this stuff? 🙄 People who never skied?

Nope. Closest thing I ever had to a pass at Blue was the 6 ticket deal that was offered through the academy in Bethlehem. I think mbike-ski's wife ran the ski club there. I had that for a few years. That was a great deal. Wish it was still available.

Shawnee and Montage are on it for day trips as well. I'll get at least 10 days on it. That said, it's not the same as a Blue pass. Blue pass is for weekdays or weekend mornings. Indy is mostly for trips to New England. The local places are just an extra for me.

That bridge isn't actually over a creek. It was moved to the park in 1957 when it was replaced. It was scheduled to be refurbished. Now it will just take a little more work.

Mine is connected with coax. No problems.

You can get a really good router for a lot less than the $180 you are paying per year. I forget what I paid for mine (Maybe $80?) but I've had it for two years and it works through a brick wall and to anywhere in my house.

Great news and Congratulations!

Yeah. Japan does nothing for me. Lots of other countries I want to ski first. Montage was a plus since I ordered so that was a good thing. I figure I'll use mine at least 10 times. Likely more depending on how the season goes.

Their announcement said it was in new (to the pass) country. Turns out its Japan.

You might want to wait until later in the season than Xmas break for Magic. They've been improving their snowmaking but usually don't have too much open at Christmas. Berkshire East would be a better option unless there's a lot of early snow.

Indy Pass is announcing new areas for Pennsylvania, New York, and Canada on Tuesday. Anyone else buy the Indy Pass? Anyone want to speculate on what the PA and NY areas are? I would want it to be Elk but think that it is more likely to be Montage. They need a reason for people to drive past the Poconos. I wouldn't expect it to be Blue/Camelback. They have enough crowds already. Ski Big Bear would be a possibility. For NY I would I want it to be Plattekill. Not sure what other areas it could be.

I made a water barrel similar to Toast's several years ago and it hasn't run dry since the first rain every year. Toast, what is the hose at the top of your barrel for? Overflow?

That's not semantics. There's a huge difference between "created in a lab" and "accidentally released from a lab".

There's a difference in being created in a lab and leaking or escaping from a lab. Most scientist still think it wasn't created in a lab.

That was a common thing in the British Isles back in the day when women weren't allowed in pubs. There were no stools and men didn't want to lose their place at the bar. Just peed in the trough. There are still a lot around over there. Not in use anymore of course.

KSL is a property management company. They sometimes buy resorts and lease them back to the previous owners to operate. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. It's a way for owners to get money out and still control the business.

I don't see BB closing. Lots of condos and houses around Lake Harmony. I don't get the tubing not being open. Tubing does really well when the masses think about skiing and then see the cost of lift tickets, rentals, and lessons. I can just hear a lot of dads going, "Hey kids, Lets go tubing instead!" when they see the cost of skiing at a Vail resort.

Congrats! That's a big accomplishment. Did you have to take your orals over Zoom?

The problem with Amtrak is that they have to run on the same lines as freight trains. If they had dedicated high speed rails like in Europe trains would make more sense and be more popular.

$30.00 to skin up for one run? Didn't see anything about the money going to charity.

Berkshire East is a really fun, well run mountain. The owners bought Catamount about two years ago and are making improvements there.

No TP no tip for maid. You can't just call the front desk at your hotel house?
