    Vermont Post July 1

    I don't watch TV - so nothing I derive is from cable news. I haven't read or seen handmaids tale (or hunger games). Laugh all you like - but this country is going back a few decades with protections being removed. Middle aged white males have no clue - so enjoy your bliss...until your...

    Vermont Post July 1

    I've lived my 50+ years with MJ being against the law. It has never been an issue for me, professionally or legally. I've never had to surrender my fingerprints to anyone. It can stay illegal, fine with me. But as the current administration takes away the rights of my gender and many others in...

    Vermont Post July 1

    Reefer madness!!! Sunday River runs promotions around alcohol. I can tell you alcohol (and fast food and soda) causes way more problems in healthcare than weed. Working at an inner city hospital - the amount of obesity and alcohol/opioid addiction is what keeps us humming. In 25 years of...

    Vermont Post July 1

    i can't keep laws straight lol...been doing what I been doing for years without issue. That being said - Bethel ME Citizen had an ad for $250 grinders, delivered with free marijuana. Lol. Don't know the loophole they're getting around.

    Poison ivy spotting

    My son has some now on his legs. He has had it probably 5 times. Took him to doctors twice for it. Once I swear he had some deadly herpes or something - it was awful looking. I had it tons as a kid too - so you'd think I'd recognize it. I worked with my dad construction since I was young and in...

    Season Pass Judgement Day

    Congrats! My husband and I are big ski fanatics - we had our first kid in March of 1996 - the incredible snow winter. Quickly learned to suppress my innate desire to scream my head off at the luck lmao. But basically - 22 years and 3 kids later and I still have to suppress that scream - this...

    legalize it already

    Me? I'd pack it in a carry on with all my other toiletries and shit. I do not think TSA is in the business to look for edibles. Especially leaving CO. Of course with crazy president and Atty General you never know - but I wouldn't worry too much. And then if she's caught - she has proof she...

    Anyone want to move to VT?

    Maybe since I've lived my life in MA - just used to whatever I pay in taxes. Great schools and always easy to find jobs (for us at least). Tax burden is not going to factor into my retirement plans. Just not the most important thing. After a life of working, I want to live where I'm happy. Some...

    Your goals for next season 18/19?

    We're going to dude ranch in Grand Tetons first week of July. Only ranch in any US National Park - looks amazing. First time in that part of country. Plan to get to Yellowstone one day. Maybe Snake River another. Kinda depends on what kids want to do.

    Bra trees

    EVERY lift line? C'mon. The big one was ripped down with new Spruce. Whatever. The orange rope all the way down right side of Bims Whim makes my blood boil tho lol. That is ugly litter.

    Sunday River Shutting Their Community Board

    I was optimistic but the board shut down and poor survey make me wonder... you'd think they'd have sent an introductory email or something instead. I get many more surveys from SL even though I haven't been there in 5+years. I don't think marketing knows what the fuck they are doing. They must...

    Skier speed trap hell

    This statement is the crux of the problem. The expectation a rail line has to be profitable. We, as a society, have to come together and put $ into the public good. Not worry about profitability. We put tax dollars into the millions of miles of roads, and don't expect profitability. Maybe...

    Skier speed trap hell

    I want to be near a T stop not a train. I have a ski place in the boonies of Bethel Maine. From there I can walk to a few pubs, restaurants, grocery store, coffee shop, movies, h/w store and soon to be brewery (there's a ski shuttle in winter). I realized how much I love to do things without a...

    Skier speed trap hell

    Have only read last few pages. Thoughts: i recommend parkwhiz app. I am not an app person at all, but my college kid turned me on to this. Great deals in big cities. My college kid already has first job and her first place has to be near the T. Her and her BF hope to have only one car. She...

    Best Discounts For Family Skiing (Passes And/Or Lessons) Near Boston?

    Still remember my first day of skiing in Dec 1970 at Nashoba! Same pine trees at bunny slope but a rope tow. Took lessons there after school for years. Anyway, still live in area and took my oldest there about 6yo for six pack of lessons (I think it was). Ugh, seemed like a waste - big groups...
