Caught up with TK on this topic... http://www.wintrymixcast.com/single-post/2016/10/20/Storm-Track-AK-and-Tim-Kelley-on-First-Widespread-Eastern-Snow

Not heart pumping obviously, but second the Bretton Woods mention. If you are trying to get an intermediate comfortable in the trees before a trip to Steamboat for example, the BW trees are some of the best for introducing a newb to that side of the sport.

Feel free to toss out topic ideas. Unfortunately since it's my hobby not my FT job (plus raising kids) I have to keep the time I sink into it under control, but still always interested to hear topic suggestions. Season 3 should be underway in early October in some fashion.

Can lead a horse to water, but...

I'd agree. And it's a big reason why I give Bill some credit. From 2008 till 2013 AQ owned 80% of the mountain and everyone was cheering Bill on to fulfill these promises at the resort he's run for 30 years. What was Bill going to do if he smelled fishy from AQ? Halt everything? Break every...

Governor going to be at Jay this morning to meet with some staff and say Governor-y stuff. It was kept off his schedule till midnight, likely to keep the media circus under control. I'm told it'll be positive news about funding etc. I might get some shreds of details while it's underway. Tend to...

Agreed. Zander goes oddball about once a year, not 4 times daily. Not something regular. http://www.skitheeast.net/zanders-take-saddleback-sound-off/ http://www.skitheeast.net/snow-reporters-survival-guide/

Not intended to be "reporting". Just a "hot take" to, yes, get clicks and offer a different angle in the blame game while most jump directly to conviction.

This. 100 times. There is nothing for Q to say right now that is going to help, only enflame. Well, other than a mea culpa or announcing no more Q in the name. Ary needs PR counsel desperately, but has shown isn't interested in taking any counsel, so, it continues. Only weirder.

UN is a click farm. That article is just another crop on the farm.

"what's the snow like around X" is never a question that can be answered well. Realistic answer is fantastic, terrible, or in between depending on the week's weather. Same for everywhere in the east.

The best uphill skiing in the east this winter, perhaps. Actually a very unique opportunity for some of us.

Howdy all. Hopefully membership since 2004 has earned me just enough to shill my latest project at you and ask for your help. https://soundcloud.com/wintry-mix-cast (VA park skier, Jiminy CEO, Killington Events Mgr) Those 3 are the "beta batch". Basically recorded/edited as test episodes...

If they have a really bad year and perhaps don't operate it'll be fantastic hiking and perhaps be forced to sell quick afterward. Is that the long view?

The single biggest reason not to be seen as an arrogant dunce in an industry and 50 mile radius is....... staffing. None of this other stuff you are discussing comes in even a close second. Resorts have zero chance of forward progress if the 10-20 key positions around the resort turn over...

I meant the dude himself, not the plan that created the pickle. He's staying positive.

Farmer is doing well considering the pickle he's in.

Thanks for all the thoughts on the admittedly bummer topic ya'll.

Dull ache except when full bend, then sharp. Otherwise just very rickety and unpleasant.

I've had a very bad back to manage for a decade thanks to mogul and freestyle youth, but now I have finally entered the world of knee problems. Can't squat, don't like going down stairs and absolutely no hiking, golfing, soccer, or skiing as the knee is just very weak and can't be trusted at...
