My default answer so far in the office today has been white linen yoga pants! :lol: To which I seemed to think I heard a few of my staff mumbling something like "men are such pigs" in my vicinity!

I am actually surprised that there has not been a ski area that covered a trail with Snowflex. I know that Killingotn is not using Snowflex but a plastic bristle surface. It is cool that they are putting that up.

I would love to see resorts that have shorter base lifts implement a Snowflex run. There is so much focus being placed on summer activities, this seems like a logical choice.

Ski Ward in Mass has a summer park set up on something called Neveplast. $10 for an hour. May have to check it out some day. It is tiny though. Website says it is 250 feet long, and liftserved by a carpet I believe.

Sunapee Master Plan

A draft decision (not final) with a compromise has been made. However, the Friends of Sunapee (opposed to decision) have joined forces with The Sierra Club to fight it.

“The Sierra Club shares the position of the Friends of Mount Sunapee. We feel that the exemplary natural forest protections should be applied to the expansion and the development should not be allowed to go forward,” said the Sierra Club’s Catherine Corkery. - See more at: http://www.unionleader.com/article/20150603/NEWHAMPSHIRE03/150609708#sthash.7VtVgCdx.dpuf

Loose MTB'ng stuff is way more comfortable. I will be wearing that tonight for a 10 mile jaunt thru the woods

I tried my MTB gear on my road bike, but the flapping around of the fabric (as opposed to the flapping around of my fat pads ;) ) gets annoying when you're on a downhill descent at 30mph+ and I went back to my fitted road kit

I'm usually all for progress but, this is tough to swallow. They're ruining Walt's beautiful base lodge architecture. No more wall of glass. Damn shame. That deck was awesome too. Many memories made out there.

I love that management has invested so much money over the past decade. Four new lifts since 2008. Victor's Way. The fan guns that line each trail. Now this. It's pretty awesome.
