Speaking of a family board... Your avatar looks like some pedo gym teacher with his face pressed up against the glass window of his office inside the boys locker room.

Where is that pic from andy? Its scaring me...

That's my faced pressed up against a glass window at home. I was working on trying to make my avatar look like a window (too much work does that to a person) and it came out like that.

Glass area: 2 sq. feet
Faceable area: .75 sq. feet

Thank you, Brian. I've always said I'm a member first and an admin second. Difficult line to travel sometimes. If I didn't enjoy this community on a personal level, I wouldn't be posting here.

I suppose I'll be looked at as a kiss ass now because of that post... :roll:

Then ban me bitch.

Signature quote material?

:lol:

Nice sig B!

He can question whatever he wants, but it's good to make the question fair. If the questions are, "What does the 4000 acre number include? What does the 500 number include?", that is totally fair, and I'd love to know. If the question is (paraphrasing with some freedom) "Why do you say 4,000 acres? Isn't that overmarketing like crazy?", well, they do also say 500 acres are skiable. I definitely want to know what the numbers mean, and to that extent Andy's question is perfectly fair. But ignoring the existence of the smaller number or implying that it isn't there is not fair.

agree. i got no fight with win or da bush. luv the place. but admittedly total acres is not a number most ski areas mention. why was it mentioned? perhaps a little misdirection? we're talkin jackson or whistler-like numbers here. in any case i never would have noticed if andy hadn't point it out.

as for draggin k's pr dept into the fray, it might have been uncalled for, but not untrue. from a pr point of year, last year was a fiasco for k. maybe now that rathbun is gone, things will improve.

In other cases I believe Greg speaks passionately about the mountains he likes, just as you do. That doesn't necessarily mean that there's an AZ policy of stifling negativity towards them. I think we do a pretty good job of letting these types of "discussion's" run their course, or until they turn into an all out flame war. I think it would be unfair for anyone to expect Greg not to voice his opinion just because he's the site admin.

So where are you two going on your honeymoon?

Haven't looked into it myself, but I think others have mentioned that Smuggs and Sugarloaf give total acreage numbers, and perhaps Killington as well. Going solely from memory, so I may be wrong, but I think MRG and Jay might too, though at those places, pretty much everything is skied.

HPD, I can see where your coming from and how it may look that way. However, IMHO, in this case Greg was just telling Andy what an idiot he is for asking a stupid question. I didn't see it as slamming anyone for offering a negative opinion on SB. In other cases I believe Greg speaks passionately about the mountains he likes, just as you do.

That said; Greg, cut the crap with the cry baby picture, it's getting old. Consider yourself warned... :roll:

I think this thread has proven my point that SB can do no wrong in Alpine Zone more then any other. Andy made a half joking comment and was taken to task for it.

Only thing I don't like about these SB threads over the years is they make me look like a SB hater and I'm not at all. Don't know Win, but from everything I've read he seems like a standup guy. I'm sure he can take the weight of the acerage question.

One final time. There is no question.

Please no TR's or pics of that event!

I think Greg should go on Moderator preview..AZ parole..lol..and bring AndyZee with you..

While the statistics in both the Sugarbush and Whiteface examples are largely useless, neither of them are used in a deceptive way. The Sugarbush website makes a clear distinction between the total number of acres vs. the skiable acres. The Whiteface website states its total acreage and then details how many acres make up the slides and its glades-- simple arithmetic can tell you exactly how many acres are dedicated to trails.

and what is considered skiable out of the 4000 is a personal opinion.....some would have much more than 508
