    Something to cheer about hopefully!!!!!

    Bill filed. Not voted on. Has passed a few initial procedural hurdles. I believe business owners and employees prefer cashless. The closing of bank branches, has made depositing and securing change banks a challenge. I have embraced cashless both personally and professionally. Cash back...

    Round Top VT - For Sale $7.5 million

    Certainly, Saddleback in ME is a better hill, less local competitors, and was cheaper at 6.5 million, with local loan support for 2 mil. There are stories posted about the cost to maintain while it was closed. Substantial money. Purchasing Used lifts, limited availability. Used groomers...

    Loon vs. Waterville valley for season tix next year- help me decide

    As quite a few others ignored op contents, I will too. If you track the actual time to get the gear out of the parked car, consider BW. XC outstanding there. Shuttles connect. (Arrive after lifts open, park at XC, shuttle to lodge. Wife moves car at 1pm ish.) Loon sucks on Saturday. I...
