Why does that make you happy?

I could care less about a resort that caters to everyone... It's more important it caters to me.. Belleayre is not my kind of scene..

For what Belleayre and Hunter both bring to the table it's difficult to compare the two.. Good thing we have a choice... huh?

Doesn't make me happy. Might bring more people and crowd things up. Notice the smiley... just breakin' your crust, dmc. I promise I will do at least a day at Hunter this winter - it has been probably 10 years since I have - and maybe we can carve a few. I'll buy a round at 4

You don't have to come to Hunter...

The most annoying thing about that list is it took me a minute to figure out they list them in alphabetical order. Who the hell does that in a top ten list?

Thinnmann, I like your Belleayre web page.

Oh, and no offense to Belleayre skiers, but I don't think it qualifies as a top-ten resort in the east. There are many other places that should be list. Belleayre, Jiminy, and Loon really don't belong in that list compared to all the others. (Hunter and Windham wouldn't either).

Thanks!

I don't know why I did a numbered listing there - it was just nice to see ol' Bell on top, even though it was an alphabetical coincidence

That's cool you have to represent for your turf. I dig it.

Bah. An AZer and I had trouble getting into a drinking establishment at 8:42AM because it was written up in the Boston Globe as a hot spot for something or other.

Anyway, Newsday is lame, they were the first to run the CBS is taking the blame for the Colts story.
