But weren't the engine sizes different, ie smaller engine in the hybrid? Seems like you'd need apples to apples acceleration and towing capacity to equate mileage.

Most people use the bathroom, quite a few get lunch, and many buy a beer. So yes, the new lodges appeal to a large segment, maybe not you. They have significantly built the summer bike business, and the town no longer has tumbleweeds in the summer. They built the water pipeline over to Pico...

The reported totals were not only legit at 4,000 feet, but in abundance at 2700 feet. I was in above the knee powder on Monday, and that's not 11 inches of snow rolls up to your knee as you're skiing and you exclaim "Wow, knee deep!", no this was come to a stop and sink in above your knee, and...

They now track real time snow depths from inside the cab. They should be pretty good at it this year if they have the temps.

Farther down the article: Last week, a hiker from Kentucky had to be rescued from another part of the mountain after slamming his head in a fall and becoming hypothermic, WBTS said. Joabe Barbosa, 23, fell off the trail and down Ammonusuc Ravine around 6:45 p.m. on Thursday, hitting his head...

Sitting at Sushi Yoshi as I read this. Note the Hill Farmstead Edward, Fiddlehead Mastermind, Sam Smith Chocolate Stout. At this bar Sip of Sunshine is an also ran. Not sure it's the 'coolest' , but it is the best beer tapline for 50 miles, and quite possibly in your home town as well.

Closest up the access road is Rivershed, tavern fare. Go up to Rte 4 to the top of the pass for Irish bar/pub at Inn At Long Trail. Not that far to Rutland for less busy - Roots, West Side Grill, Table 24, Country Gentleman (German), Hop'N'Moose (Pizza Brew pub). Some of those in Rutland...

I'm aware. There are all kinds of logistics and compatibility issues that makes it more efficient to export some oil of ours and then import it from others to refine here. The offshore wells and Irving refinery in New Brunswick exports 80% of its production to the US, and it's right here in...

Here's a different take on EVs... Forget carbon for the moment. What if we transition to 25% or so EVs, and the resultant drop in gasoline consumption is enough to consistently be oil independent, not a net importer. That's enough to keep developing the EV technology, folks can choose what...

Seen today...

I'll post sources if you'd like. Many were US Gov sites. Yes, if and when a higher percentage of the grid is renewables EVs will benefit. My issue is the mandated push to EV is occurring far before the grid and generation will be there to support it. California's mandate to be zero emission...

In general, but there are days you couldn't pay me $69 to ski Pico. Hopefully the new water source and other improvements will be seen in snow quality. There are also some days where it's a powder day, no one's there and it's worth $500.

Natural gas generation is 44% efficient, coal is 32%. Worldwide use of coal is 36%, world wide use of natural gas is 23% of electricity production. (US is 20% coal and 40% natural gas) So currently a weighted average in the US is 40% efficiency on generation of electricity, which comprises...

While some generalizations can be made, I think it also needs to be said that we are all different. What diet might kill you might flow right through me, and vice versa. So far I'm salt impervious. Not everyone can say that. I found it easy to give up soda. I can decide to give up alcohol...

Hold on. EV's convert 75% of WHAT energy to motion? Does that include losses in the car itself? Battery losses? Resistive losses when charging? Resistive losses from powerplant to home? And now for the big kahuna - what about the power source for the electricity itself? How much of the...

I can see where EVs will do well in commuter driving. Not so much in long distance, trailer pulling, or below zero driving. Better to let the market determine what's best for each driver. The grid infrastructure can't power everyone going to EV anyway. Not only is there going to be a...

Mont Orignal, mais bien sûr.

100 days at Killington is attainable if you can throw in some work from home and have a nearby place to stay. There is a solid 7 months from November to May, so that's about 30 weeks. Which is an average of 3.3 days per week. If all your weekends are 3 days weekends, it's almost in the bag...

Since the poll gets quoted frequently on TV and radio, I have to wince at the number and variety of wrong pronunciations of Quinnipiac. And there are tons of people that don't know that K1 Lodge is pronounced 'KBL'. I've skied Bahs-kay since high school. And apparently Suicide is now...

+6% is a 'smash'?
