So we all know there's a bazillion available jobs out there, but could someone suggest a "second-career-type" job for someone in their 50's who's been in a high-paying, high stress job dealing with hostile members of the public for almost 30 years, and who's decided he just can't do it anymore...

The sand isn't leaking out yet, but it's probably just a matter of time. I'd like to try to salvage them, but realize I may just need to upgrade to better equipment.

Other parts of the country have Cici's Pizza and other chains that offer this daily, but nada in New England. What gives?

Mods, sorry if this is in the wrong place or if you'd prefer other boards not be mentioned, but I was a longtime member of Snowjournal before all their technical difficulties, and I've encountered one problem after another in trying to become a member again (the registration link doesn't work...

Attitash probably isn't in the market for any new lifts at the moment, but do you think they'd ever put a summit lift where the Top Notch Double currently is? They'd obviously have to extend it further up Upper Saco, but doing so would make all terrain (even Wilfred's Gawm) accessible from it...

I'm in my 50s and I was explaining to someone in her 20s the other day how old style clothing and department stores used to keep only a small portion of their merchandise on the sales floor, and that most of their stock would be back in the stock room and you'd have to ask a sales clerk to go...

I hear a lot about the drought on the TV news but haven't seen any mention on the board. Should we be worried for the upcoming ski season?

Strongly considering moving to Franklin County MA (most likely Orange) for what will eventually become my retirement home. Anyone have thoughts/experiences of living there? I've been where I am for 25 years so I have a ton of questions ranging from trash collection to whether there's good...

sorry, mods please delete

I'm blessed with a 5-minute commute to work right now (live and work in the Methuen area), but I'm getting the urge to buy a house in Southern NH and the ones I like most are in places like Weare, Candia, Epsom, etc. Am I out of my mind for taking on a commute like that, or does anyone here do...

Not to dwell on the negative, but anyone have examples of things that ski areas invested in that they probably wish they hadn't? Bolton Valley's trailside lodging is probably one example, and I often wonder whether Wachusett would install the Vickery Bowl lift if they had to do it over again...

So I'm checking out Wachusett's facebook page and I see people complaining about stuff like "why aren't you open til 10:00 PM?" after four consecutive 50+ degree days in November, or "why was there a delayed opening today?" after the place got 2.5 inches of rain. I know we're supposed to...

Is Vista Peak generally the only mountain open on non-holiday weekdays? I've only been to Bolton once, but I remember getting the impression that Wilderness and Timberline chairs probably only run on weekends or peak vacation weeks. TIA for any relevant info/experience.

Thinking of picking up a weekday season pass to use primarily for night skiing next year. I'm leaning toward Wachusett over Crotched because they're open an hour later (10:00 PM vs 9:00PM), and because I'll probably hit less rush hour traffic heading West on Route 2 than I will on 93 North to...

Haven't followed it much the past couple years and all the boards I used to visit are gone.

If I finish a run near the base of the Meadows Triple chair and want to head over to the Summit Chair, is there a lot of "polling" involved, or will a decent head of steam get me there? The map seems to imply it's some distance, but it's probably not drawn to scale. Thanks in advance.

Am I being too picky, or is it a little disingenuous for Pico to say they have all 52 trails open when in fact you'd have take your skies off and hike to about 10 of them because the lifts servicing those trails are closed? I'm not talking about wind holds, either. I'm talking about two lifts...
