With the things you complain about at Burke, you wouldn't last half a day dealing with Cannon's management. Or conditions. Or terrain.

Who was talking about my preferences? We were talking about a high school, not me. Somebody is just a little argumentative today. Go have a beer and come back.
And what's your point? That Burke should tremendously increase fees charged to local high schools? Uh... Ok...

I was talking about your preferences. The clue was when I said "you".

So it was an unprovoked, gratuitous swipe. You definitely need a beer.

Incessant whining is provocation enough.

Of the two of us, you're the only one who whined. Move on already. Life is too short to get worked up over me.

Now that's hilarious!
If life was short I could probably tolerate you. But it's too damn long to deal with it over and over. And over.

Who would have thought that I'd have such control over your feelings.

If that was a question, it's a good one.

What a Qasshat. Pretty soon nobody will be skiing at Burke.

What's that have to do with anything? Let's keep things on topic.

Good idea. What exactly is the topic that we're keeping it to?
Am am wondering, what are the "fees" for? I am pretty sure anybody in a high school race program has a season pass, right?

That is my understanding.
In other news, Burke's marketing director has told the Caledonian Record that skier visits are up with "resort sales being on track with the last three years". She said that they need to close this weekend to convert to summer operations. The "lifts take a lot of attention to change from ski to bike".

This is news to me. What attention do you think she is referring to??
Trail rental perhaps? I wonder if Okemo charged my high school fees back in the day. I'm guessing no and that they were happy selling the 50 extra season passes to all the team members. The vast majority of usage by the school was from 2-4 in the afternoon when the mountain was dead anyways. I didn't race, but I know the school provided all their own gates and coaching.

Since BMA uses the training slope for race training, is it really costing Q Burke anything to have the high schools there as well?

They don't even use the Mid-Burke express for mountain biking, so it's a real head scratcher to me.
