Side note: I can't stand the Weather Channel's website. Any actual weather information they might have there is buried below 5 layers of advertising. Same goes for the actual Weather Channel on TV. All it is now is weather porn with a sprinkle (or is that scatter shower?

) of occational actual weather. It has turned into the MTV of weather, all pop and no substance.

I think you may have missed the sarcasm in the note.
That said, I have to agree with you. So what did they do with the time they saved? Probably wasted it, but they had to endanger you in the process. Everyone needs to turn off the cell and slow down a bit.

Since the story is from June this statement isn't exactly true anymore.

"With the strength of the euro and strength of the Canadian dollar,"

With the US Dollar soaring in the last two weeks the Canadian dollar worth a high of $1.07 vs the US dollar last summer is now at .80 vs the US dollar currently.

I think it's fucking gross. Everything about it. But Stowe has had no soul for quite some time now. All the banking execs will have alot of time off this winter, they can go and stay their on our tax dollars. Our excessive american lifestyle is unsustainable and is the root of most of the suffering around the world. It is the reason people hate us. I wish it would burn to the fucking ground. The parent company makes me sick, that kind of "ski" experience makes me sick, the clientel make me sick...so, I moved, and I take real pleasure in putting my big ol' tracks right down that Mtn. for free.

Well JD..not everybody can be a dirtbag skibum...some people work stressful jobs in the big city and they like to decompress at posh mountain lodges and eat $40 steaks and get $100 massages after a day skiing down perfectly groomed trails..different strokes for different folks. Stowe is a great mountain..with or without the hotel..
