You own part of sugarbush?
Honestly I do find his choice of Sugarbush, let alone Vermont, as quite interesting given the current political climate. At least one town (Brattleboro) had an active arrest warrant out for W and Cheney back in the day. I could just as easily see Vance going to Jackson Hole or somewhere else out west where there would be less attention.

I'm not getting the couch comment.....

There was a viral rumor that went around for quite a while that JD Vance had admitted to having sexual relations wtih the crack between the cushions of his couch.

That said, I'm actually impressed that you were able to avoid social media and the news and all the late night talk shows for long enough to miss this. It was undoubtably good for your mental health.

Yes I have had to be selective in my news to save my sanity.

I’m thinking Secret Service is well aware of the unreliable lifts at Sugarbush and carry their own evac system. 😜

Does anyone have knowledge of how other resorts have handled Presidential / VP visits and what we may actually expect from a logistics and operations perspective this weekend?

Access to the mountain, that's why I bought a pass.
Besides, why should we "be nice to" or accommodate in any way people who are actively, maliciously and illegally destroying our democracy?
The word democracy appears zero times in the Constitution of the United States. If you would like to change that see Article 5.

while the pages of fodder and freak outs on this are amusing, you probably won't know he's there, unless he wants to make a spectacle. He and his family will arrive and ski along with a secret service entourage. Hell the SS may even have patrol or instructor jackets on so its not so obvious when they cut the lines.

Its not as if they're going to show up in the Rob Katz Vail army outfits... (Someone else can post the image)

At least I can find 1 thing about the guy I can relate to because up until now it was 0...

Tough to compare,… when was the last time a VP or President went skiing in New England? Hasn’t happened in my lifetime
