Catamount is the worst in the EAST !!!!

Good thing my kids aren't just learning anymore......you shoulda seen me giving them the JB treatment (all ova they azzes!) when they couldn't get their freakin boots on Sunday morning. That wasn't much fun for any of us....but all is well that ends well.

Why should we teach? it's not my responsibility..

but it is your responsibility to notify the offended institution so they can defend themselves?

No, that's just going from knee deep to needing the hip waders!

There's ways to do this so you don't come across as a total ranter...
You need to connect to the audience first..
"Hey - Long time lurker - love the site"
then maybe:
"I just wanted to let the board know about a my day at xxxxxxxxx" - or maybe do a trip report...

thing is there's no context - and i know i always bitch about this - but there's been a lot of really positive posts about Catamount...
There's also been some really bad posts about Windham..

Loading was smooth when the attendant was their earlier ( he loaded the kids nicely and spaced everyone so their was no pileup at the top. , Everything changed when he disappeared from from 2:45 to 4:00 (which is when we left.) Operator was at the top shoveling snow as i was screaming for him to stop the carpet. Like i said - I told him they need a loading attendant - no one showed up.

Holiday weekend / crowded / day /night /etc - Their is no excuse / reason to have a BEGINNER carpet / lift without a loading attendant period. It is dangerous to kids learning how to ski.

Whew! I'm glad that YOU have established, by quoting YOURSELF, that you did, at least a few pages back, view the edumacation as your responsibility. I din't have no time to give to the Y!!!!

PS - please consider my laziness in not inserting the requisite smilies so as not to piss all y'all off.

Not to be a grammarian, but seriously. There. There. There.

Subtle but importance difference between there and their.

What's their excuse for not being there when they're supposed to be? See how that works?

i just checked the catamount web cam and I don't see any attendants on any of the lifts.

You haven't skied the worst, unless you've been to Mountain Creek. Try taking your kids there and report back.

lol, this is very true. your chance of getting hurt increases dramatically @mt creek. exponentially if you are a small kid.

i do agree with the OP on the point that an attendant should have been present on the magic carpet.

I'm sure we need someone for spelling, and them maybe one for typing, because lots (ahem, pardon me....a lot) of spelling errors are probably due to typos. See....then! Bah!!!!

Certainly need a volunteer for Smiley Useage 201.

JB's "their" problem is particularly grating- it's not a typo- it's either laziness or ignorance. The first I can't abide, the second I'll try to correct.

What are you talking about......you are that elective that EVERYBODY wants to take. Every college has 'em..........and you don't take it for the right reasons, if education is your goal!!!!
