that is gonna be difficult since my skis are longer than the trail run! :dunce:

I'd wager that my bump skis are longer than your powder boards. Let's make a date and slay Quechee.

Firestone's has pretty decent wood fired pizza. Or you could be off like Batman & Robin to your next adventure! I'll let you be Robin.

I have a great time at all the resorts people bash (Sunapee, Okemo, Loon) as well as Cannon

feel sorry for you if you can't or if you just said that to look cool


Look cool? It's just a personal opinion, not meant for anything really, lol. People bash Mount Snow all the time, and I ski there. I don't really care or take offense.

Duct Tape

You only look cool in VT if you have duct tape on your clothes. You will gain immediate points with the locals. You do know that duct tape is the official tool of VT, right?
:spread: The funny thing is most dyed-in-wool locals (not transplants) are the first to admit this is true! A little grease on the jacket doesn't hurt. I have my official grease jacket thanks to being the first one on the lifts for the season and the grease had not worked its way in.

Wow. Carelessly worded off hand comment of mine laid low for a week and then started a mild class warfare thread digression. :daffy:

I don't see it as blue collar/white collar, or anything like that. I'm sure there are hardcores and wannabes at every mountain, and a lot of people oblivious to all of that, just out having a good time. There are people with enough money to own their own condo somewhere, but who choose to ski Cannon. There are brown baggers in the Loon Mountain base lodge. There are happy families in slopeside houses, able to check on their little kids or stop off for lunch with non skiing friends. There are ski town condos in foreclosure because striving people chose to try to buy into a lifestyle that they couldn't afford.

But seriously........what is the skinniest ski you would take into an artificial east coast mountain top bowl?
