I wouldn't be too eager to pat yourself on the back or put this thread on your resume.

Michelle Bachman gets a lot of press coverage and generates a lot of buzz for saying stupid things like the HPV vaccine is dangerous for young girls. I'm not sure that's the sort of model you want to emulate.

Seriously - there's 11 pages in this thread, and nowhere is there substantive discussion of your "idea". It's essentially 7 pages of people (rightly) shooting you down, 2 pages on the Big Jay cut, and 2 pages on the definition of the word "upshot". That's a pretty low bar as a definition of success.

There you go again being mean, Tim's Wood. Be nice for once. Your definition of success clearly is shooting down people who are trying to have a conversation, but do it nicely, that's all I ask.

I thought we already established that the clear cut should be well below the top of the mountain. Who's stupid now?:)

That's right. Get with the program. It was established early on that open bowl type skiing in the east is only feasible if you cut well below the summit. That's what Blue Knob, PA did with Stembogen Bowl. Check out pictures and a description of it here:

Best thread ever. 14 pages in one day and it's not about Sunday River vs. Killington or about opening day. People are just jealous that I succeeded in drawing so many people in with one of my first threads.

Admit it, reading about artificial open bowl skiing is a guilty pleasure akin to watching Rocky 4.

Will you have any new healthy additions to your menu? Are/will you be using locally sourced meat and produce?
