Notch Effect: the downside

[threecy]

At first I couldn't believe that he was forcing an agenda but it really seems that he does. Threecy, if you aren't - just say so.

I even stuck up for him. Damn you Threecy.

I'd suggest reading this thread from the top. My first post was a first hand account of the day in question. Perhaps I shouldn't have responded to any of the questions.

We've all seen you use selective respondance before and then disappear into the ether when shit gets weird. Probably not enough hits on the TFC facebook page to effectively spread your gospel. That's why you'll keep comin back for more abuse.

Yeah, you missed it. Quick digest:
- People skinned and hiked (including Threecy) when it was closed on Sat. They had no hassles.
- Someone skinned recently when it was open. They got a warning.
- Threecy is calling this "selective enforcement" and will be providing us with an exciting new thread including documents. Stay tuned!!

This is shaping up to be the best cliff-hanger since the saga of the abandoned skis at Stowe.

Did he ever get his skis back?

Now, where did I park my car?

The wind was all but gone at Cannon by lunch time. The sun came out at 1 PM. Barely a breath of wind on the summit tower at 2 PM. About an inch of new, wet snow that was being poached by "refugee" skinners.

Your first post was a thinly veiled attack at the management and you know it. If you had no intention of stirring up the beehive, you wouldn't have included "refugee" in your post.

You have proven time and time again that any chance you get to crowbar in a dig at Cannon's management to try and glean support for leasing the area, you'll take it.

you get called out on it, then cry personal attack.

That's the word I heard from a skier, so I used it.

I heard there is a refugee tent city at the base of Mittersill. Could he jhave been from there?

Gotta love the notches for snowfall. But man can they suck for wind. Right now the weather stations N, S, E, and W of Cannon all show relatively light winds. Here in Lincoln (close enough to see Cannon) there isn't a breath of a wind, smoke is lazily drifting straight up out of the chimney. Yet Cannon is on 100% wind hold. Franconia Notch is one giant funnel, concentrating even the slightest South wind into gale forces. Damn you Bernoulli!!!

Indeed it is. Current management is against all 'uphill traffic.' Just the other day someone was kicked off and was threatened with having their season pass revoked for skiing.

No kidding right!? I start a thread about the unique weather in our notches and it somehow gets turned into a political debate about public authorities and public land. Any suggestions on reclaiming civility? Perhaps revisiting the 'no politics' guidelines?

And there you have it. :smash:

Would you prefer I send all of my potential posts here to you first, so that you can screen them and remove any words or facts you don't like?

I would have preferred to handle any personal posts via PM, but since you seem to like to make pointed posts in public, would you recommend, instead of posting facts (such as the lack of wind in the afternoon, or the no skiing policy, etc.), I instead use all of my posts calling out the political agenda of others?

 

[deadheadskier]

I honestly don't care what you do threecy
