We're mid-week skiers. Never a problem.

Loved everything about the old ASC empire. We owned a hotel unit at SR, and got to use all the hotels in the company for short money using the Space Available perk. Even got into the Summit at Canyons, for goodness sake!.. Combined with the old All=for-one pass, we went everywhere for the...

Funny story. Years ago we took our two sons, then in their mid teens, to JH. Riding up the lift. we looked over to Alta Chutes and I remarked that I can't believe anyone skis those. My kids looked over and said, "Ah Dad, we did those this morning a couple of times.." That's how much I know.

That's exactly how I felt until a couple of years ago. Made it to 73 before giving in. No regrets.

E-bikes are a God send to those of us in our 70s who still have the ability and desire to get out there. I've ridden an e-bike on the road and rail trails for the past 2 years. So has my wife. Previously I rode a Bianchi road bike. Normally I use the power assist maybe 1/4 of the time. My...

My son moved to Colorado about 20 years ago. He always said Mass. drivers were so much better than Colorado ones. But CO drivers are much more rules conscious and mellow. Here's an example of the difference: One time on I-70 there was construction and a sign that said "left lane closed...

Been there, done that. Weekday powder turns on Smuggs and the high speed lift with no line. Not much better than that.

Second Level 9. Bought 2 pairs from them. Bought bindings, too, and had local shop mount them. Easy outfit to work with.

I thought what Les did with ASC was awesome. Too bad it couldn't last. We had some great years when I first retired. Bought a unit at the Summit at SR. We had space available privileges at all the other ASC hotels, so we hopped around to all of them for just the housekeeping fees...

Yep.

I was a college fraternity brother of one of the Tillotsons. He took us up there senior year for a crazy weekend. I didn't ski then, but we did some snowmobiling on trails out behind the hotel along with drinking plenty of cold ones. Several years later when camping with our kids, we took a...

For sure! I can remember back in the old days you could get behind a truck and stay there all the way to the turnpike.

I'm 76, retired for 20 years, and fitness is a year round, non-stop routine. Has been for most of my life. 3 days/week on road bike, 3 days/week in gym. 1 day of rest. Plenty of squats and fairly heavy (for me) dumbbell work along with some machines. Full body stuff. I finally broke down a...

Could never understand why the state of Maine never built a divided highway from the turnpike up into the Rt. 2 corridor. Easier access into the Bethel, Rumford, Farmington, Rangeley region would be am economic boost to some fairly depressed areas.

Be careful. Remember all those who bought early at the Jordan Hotel. People paid $50-60,000 for quartershares that you can get now for $5,ooo or thereabouts. Maybe their value will go up a bit with the new lift, but never back to the original prices.
