nope, but i read the TR's throughout the year and they support that notion.

I believe it’s because it’s a very windy place. I only have four ski days there so can’t say with certainty if it’s true.  In a normal year they receive far less snow than their north Vermont neighbors but this winter they’ve been getting lots of snow.

Why?  CEL is all emissions related, no?  Car will still work fine.

Most CEL's are for emissions, but it is likely monitoring for misfires, oil pressure, etc, but my knowledge of the Chevy Shitsonic are limited, and since its a budget car, it may just do the minimum the government calls for as far as emissions.  

I can tell you when a CEL comes on in a newer Mack truck, it will at some point derate the engine and pretty much render it useless.  I take those very seriously.

Even if it's emissions, he may be burning his CATs right now and will end up with multi-K replacement costs, all because he didn't care to replace some oxygen sensor in time.

I'm impressed @eaf ... not only are you an expert on lift capacity maximization, you also know something about cars!

Well, what's the point of discussing the lifts, the picture is worth a thousand words.

Gotta make the most of it! Have fun out there! 

The lift situation has improved now that they opened the quad. I was about to go in the lodge and drink hot cocoa for the rest of the day

nope, we were tee'd up to a few years back thanks to J-Law and it everything was looking good. We kept lapping the summit chair but they never opened  'em. it was more of a SkiPo staffing issue than conditions if I recall.

maybe thinking of our first tuckerman trip - damn need to do that again

how do I get rid of this image lol (ok boomer)

His car isn’t worth multi K so if that happened he’d just buy another $11,000 slightly used Sonic

It's discontinued, so he really should baby this very unique specimen that he was lucky to get his hands on.
