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?

There's difference between being educated and being intelligent. I've met some educated idiots in my day.

Exactly. It wasn't like the chair fell off because they didn't load properly. What was an extra lift attendant going to do? Ride the rope and hold the chair on the line?

I'm not a lawyer but I read and deal with a lot of contracts at work regarding liability. I wouldn't think the responsibility code applies to lifts. Skiers have a responsibility to ski in control and avoid obvious and common obstacles. The ski areas have a responsibility to provide safe lifts. Skiers have a reasonable expectation that the lifts are safe. That said; all machines can have unexpected break downs regardless of the how carefully they are maintained. Parts are inspected but some flaws are not seeable to the naked eye like hair line cracks or internal flaws in a casting. In today's litigious enviorment no doubt someone will pay. But until the experts including the lift manufacturer determine the cause I would not automatically blame Camelback. And unfounded rumors like someone dying should not be repeated and should be deleted. And I'm no Camelback fanboy.

It could be unforeseen equipment failure. Parts break sometimes regardless of how good the maintenance is.

Correct. EPR bought the Vail properties before Vail bought the ski operations. EPR buys the property and leases it back to the operators. They are a real estate investment company. That provides capital for new lifts and other improvements. I think they also own a lot of the Boyne properties and other non skiing resort properties.

I would be very surprised if that is accurate. I would think that the accident would have to be investigated and the lift thoroughly inspected before the Department of Labor and Industry and Camelbacks insurance company would let that lift run again.

CVS Tannersville. I had been looking everywhere in a 2 hr radius for the past three or 4 weeks.

I finally was able to schedule my first shot for next Monday. Just got lucky on one of sites.

That's great but they should be doing that every day. At the current pace PA is going I won't get a shot until July. And I qualify for 1a.

MRG regulars ski on moss and rocks and call those conditions "excellent". And they actually look good doing it.

Even with the higher day ticket prices, do you think they made up for the loss of revenue from the food and beverage and the wedding business? I know weddings are a huge profit area for venues. How many would they have on an average weekend?

I use Pre Flight Parking. They have indoor and outdoor parking. You can check the rates here according to you travel dates. Pre Flight PHL

Just order one of those of electric Mustangs and you'll never have to worry about gas prices again. Of course you'd have to find something else to bitch about then. 😉

Buy a real house. Trailers depreciate.

With all the snow we've had this year ice dams can be a problem too.
