We're speaking freely right now, you don't have a constitutional right to not be told you're a moron on the internet.

People coming and spending money at businesses in your community must really suck, funny how the free market is a good thing until it does something you don't like. Anyway I live in Berlin now and I'm here to tell you that the locals I know think the ATV tourists are annoying but good for the...

Lynx, upper catapult, bobcat, and polecat are still skiable, it's actually been pretty good spring conditions, especially when the sun is out.

Well, I've worked for vail in NH for 2 seasons now and in that time my hourly went from 10 to 16, and I hear from the guys who worked for Peak the money is significantly better now than it was then. I'm pretty sure the 20/hr figure is legit, and I hope it attracts some real staff numbers. That...

Lack of patrol is not a factor in terrain being closed at WC. Patrol is the pretty much the only department that's adequately staffed there. Numbers are smaller because Vail doesn't take volunteer patrollers, the number of paid patrol is pretty much the same or more than there were before.

That's not true. Snowmaking on the bobcat today and polecat yesterday. They are still hiring though.

You wanted the scoop, that was it. Everything else is speculation.

Snowmaking is understaffed and the snowmaking system is quite old and full of gremlins. Several new pumps have been added but there's lots more work to do. Plus, very very bad natural snowfall in general. Hopefully that will change soon. Wildcat has never been a mountain where snowmaking and...
