    I don't care that you post a PM in which I call you a little bitch for acting tough by piling on in a thread. Internet bully? Pfffttt...you, dude, come off as that kid standing next to a fight just waiting for the chance to kick whomever is on the ground. As a reminder, this is what I posted...

    Again, I agree with your mention of the "larger concern". Other than for races, I don't ski at Elk on weekends, but it always seemed pretty crazy because of what we're used to. Sno usually has a dozen empty chairs between people until noon on weekends, then maybe a couple chair wait on the...

    Just to add, Jack, I'd seriously consider crowd size over terrain because of the little ones, especially since you have two. Camelback may have some wide, easy trails, but if the weather's nice, kids turn into sitting ducks. My youngest was on the CB race team and I worried about her every day...

    The Hindenburg was originally designed by the Zeppelin Co. for helium, which, as your Highlander education told you is much less flammable than hydrogen), but one of the leading opponents to the U.S. exportation of helium to Germany was Senator William Warren Barbour. Barbour and fellow US...

    http://www.snovacations.com/ Both of the closest hotels to Sno have indoor pools. Skiing at Jack Frost, Camelback, and Elk are all within a half hour, or so. To add: there's also a large movie theatre and high-end outlet mall next to the hotel.

    You'd get better and more timely feedback at http://paskiandride.com Be prepared to wade through suggestions about the best rails and biggest jumps, but there are lots of families who post regularly. Or you could just travel a bit further to Hunter and dodge the cigarette butts they throw...

    Yeah, whatever. My memory is pretty good, though.

    Eh, just FYI, Hunter is closer to New York City than Sno is to West Philly. Not by much, though.

    Hey, I got on the wrong side of people because I posted that the Sox, Bonds, and the recent Yankee accomplishments were all because of cheating. Greg told me I should shut up and not come to a New England MB and say such a thing. Ya know, like some people come to PA MB's and chuckle (or was it...

    You're full of crap and a troll. Elk has defaulted on bills and been sued by contractors dozens of times over the years. Where are all your concerned posts about that? The county didn't pay the water bill for years and failed to turn over the info at closing, so Sno was sued for water use from...

    Yes, skier traffic is the MOST important factor in snow quality. Far and away. No comparison. Consider this: what's a narrow, 1000ft long headwall like for the first person after a 12 inch snowfall in the east? What's it like after 500 people have chopped it up? But probably more relevant...

    More personal attacks. Yes, gear gets stolen everywhere, but does management impede police investigations everywhere? Calling me an ass because WF wouldn't help the cops and let the guys get away for it for three seasons? Piss off to you.

    "We get our fair share of people from Pennsylvania vacationing in Whiteface/Lake Placid and when I happen to be riding the gondi and talking to them I always ax which one is the best." Wasn't this your post? Sorry, I thought WF was Whiteface. You're a little confusing HPD... PA skiing is very...
