A dentist is a doctor by most definitions. Frankly I dont care, just saying he has honest/informed opinions, even if I disagree. Granite on the other hand is essentially a troll.

Dr Jeff, I haven't been on here in years, but do recall your rather draconian view on marijuana. Clearly any inhalation of smoke is at least somewhat harmful for your lungs, so no argument from me there. That said, what is your opinion on edibles? I do value your opinion as a doctor, unlike...

As for weed, when I was young I was stoned pretty much all day every day, and a safety meeting was an integral part of the ski day. These days I will eat a low dose edible a couple nights a week when home for the evening, but that's about it.

I typically have about 3 chairlift beers during the second half of a ski day, and then one at the bar before heading home. I used to drink primarily at the bar, but beer prices have gone up exponentially at Sunday River over the years, even after accounting for inflation. One $12 beer a day is...

I ski 90% at Sunday River, and never buy food, only overpriced beer at the bar, so no idea on food pricing. I am teaching my young daughter to ski though, and we went to Mt. Abram last weekend. For convenience, I bought lunch: a cheeseburger for me, a hot dog for her, and fries to share for $13...

It was a cool gesture... This was never publicized by the mountain for obvious reasons, but Sunday River actually opened the lift at 8 am that day!

Not a car guy... or wealthy. Funny to hear all this talk of options on vehicles that would mean less than nothing to me. That being said, having a manual transmission is a deal breaker for me. I would simply never own an automatic. Thankfully my last 3 cars (all base models, all bought new for...

Never had a pass pulled, but had one close call. Early season at Sunday River years ago, Flying Monkey was supposed to be open, but Jordan was on windhold, so they had it roped off. They were running the Jordan Double though, so I knew I could hit it, and get back to Aurora. Amazing run with...

I have skied over 20 days a year since the early 80's, and never let weather or conditions stop me, so I have seen it all. I have had plenty of less than stellar days, and plenty of sketchy runs where I have just tried to get down in one piece. There was only ONE time though in all those years...

They had to install a new top terminal on Locke that wasn't completed until December. Therefore they were forced to come up with an alternative opening strategy, thus the Aurora plan. I fully expect them to go back to opening from the Locke midstation this year, and in all likelihood within a...

Bronze New England Pass again. I will get about 25 days on it for $450 and get to ski midweek. I will get about 5 days elsewhere on cheap lift tickets.

Always looked like a lot of work, and not a lot of fun. Never understood the appeal... I have always been a skier, but would sooner switch to snowboarding than tele. To each their own...

Same deal with a torn Achilles and dislocated shoulder back in 2010. I happily handed over my credit card in exchange for having my shoulder re-set. I was also reimbursed by my insurance. I for one I am happy the mountain has the clinic and have no problem with the fact that you have to pay...

ACL replacements in 1997 and 2004, never wore a brace, and was back on snow in 5 months both times... Tore one again 3 years ago, opted not to have it fixed, and do wear a brace on that leg now. Over 100 days and no problems yet...

No problem with this. I won't get specific, as to avoid getting overly political, but I don't support ANY laws protecting me from myself. However, anyone can have kids... and I don't have a problem with laws aimed to protect them until they are 18.

Day 27 yesterday at Sunday River, and I am done. I average 30-35 days a year. Probably lost around 3 days due to the crappy season, but would have been on the low end of my average due to other obligations anyway.

Not a Bud guy... Baxter IPA is my go to. But amazed with this whole micro brew boom what people are willing to pay for a beer. Maine Beer for example, had some of theirs, and while good, $5 to $10 for a bottle of beer??? Money is an issue, but even if it wasn't I would simply never pay that...

One more for sure at the Loaf on Thursday 4/21. If the River makes 5/1 I will be there, but skiing like Thursday is my last day of the season.

This is encouraging, as I was told by a reliable source that Sunday River will fire up the guns as soon as they are given the opportunity. I was starting to wonder if that opportunity would exist...

I ski one day a week (plus bonus days throughout the season), every week, from October through May, every season. Conditions be damned! I am one who truly has a blast every day on the hill. I may view things differently if I didn't have a pass, but for that very reason I would never be without...
