Didn't he say, they already offered him free vouchers. I assume they also apologized along with those vouchers. What else could they really do? I heard mgt's first born died in a freak magic carpet accident anyway.

DMC had invited MGT to the conversation but i hadn't seen anything public so i was just curious if there was further dialog between the parties.

i read a few these posts before slipping into a semi coma, never could find out how the actual SKIING was, which after all should probably be at least a small determining factor to be classified as THE WORST ski area or whatever it was on a SKIING forum.... never mind, back to fartbags and daddyday cares

Too funny!
Come to think of it, so are those moving walkways...

Ha! Nice comparison :)
Although, I've been through O'Hare during peak hours and they had airport employees monitoring the sections between the moving walkways to keep traffic flowing...people were actually stop between the walkways... :angry:
Meanwhile I had 20 minutes to get from one end of the airport to the other to get a connecting flight...I didn't make it.
Wow...this has really gone off-topic. Guess I'm just bored, weather making me antsy...

The escalator picture is photoshopped right? What lazy asses would use escalators to get to a fitness center.:lol:

The last time I tried to go to Catamount, I pulled into the lot the evening of a day they had received 12"+ of snow. I pulled in the lot only to be told by the man driving the excavator that they received to much snow and did not open that day...

Wow, how did this monster resurface?

I plan on skiing Catamount this season. Slow lifts and unattended magic carpets be damned.

Catamount is good for a nice, slow paced cheap day of skiing. Nothing wrong with that. For $28 a day mid week or whatever they're charging this season, how much can you complain?
