    Ski Resort Managers Rejoice!

    And I suspect F&B managers are dancing in the streets as well with Obama's new decree that salaried employees below 50k will qualify for overtime. My wife is a manager for a ski resort, and while I'm sure they will pull some chicanery that ultimately screws us, at face value we just a nice pay...

    Eastern Passes - Buy early ski rest of year

    Are there any usual culprits that put passes on the early season rates and allow you to ski the rest of the year on the new pass? I think Cranmore has done this in the past, but looking for a bit of a better hill than that.

    Portland ME Economic Information

    Anybody run a small business or a retail store in the Old Port specifically, but Portland ME in general? Looking at options for the retail side of things for my knife company, but unfortunately the internet isn't really helping and I've been pretty let down with how useless the local chamber of...

    180" month!

    So Jackson Hole has had its 4th wettest month on record this past February. 180" in one month. To say its DEEP here is an understatement. Which has gotten me thinking, whats the most snow your home mountain has had in a month? Deep days come and go, but when a cycle really sets in is when the...

    Has this season so far changed where you think you'll buy a pass next year?

    So I'll admit Im more looking at NH areas, and Ive started threads about this somewhat before. Anyways wife and I are moving back Christmas of 2014 and are starting to plan for our pass purchases now since we'll actually have to buy them this year (no more employee passes from Jackson -sadface)...

    Best pass for the Seascoast NH crowd

    OK, so I posted up a thread (sheesh almost two years ago now) about what town in ski country would you choose to live in and why. There was a reason of course, for our planned move back East to start a family. Anywho, part of our new plan involves owning multi-family properties, which are...

    Not impressed by skis

    So I took my old set of P40s out today. Just wasnt feeling it. Not sure why, but I just didnt see what all the hype was with these ski contraptions. Poles? What purpose do these really serve? They really should make those edgie wedgies standard on all pairs, I remember it being a bunch easier...

    Intermediate Glades?

    I cant help but laugh when I see places describe these types of things. Maybe Im starting to really sound like an accountant, but with insurance being what it is, how do they get away with this? Maybe its just me, but I think most people dont even think of skiing trees until they consider...

    So how did that Wildcat/Attitash calamity play out?

    Wasn't that long ago the board was lighting up about how Wildcat got bought out. From an outsiders perspective sounds like a whole lot of nothing changed. So how did it really play out?

    Cat skiing interest - east coast

    I wonder if it would even be a feasible idea, but hey its September and Ive had nothing to do all day. Wouldnt it be cool to have a cat skiing operation, on the east coast? What types of hoops do you think one would need to jump through to get a commercial cat skiing operation approved...
