Peak Resorts: The New ASC?

[freeski]

I've enjoyed living in VT, NH or ME much more during my lifetime.

I've lived mostly in NH, but as a kid VT and did a stint in ME. Also lived all around Boston, Worcester and Baltimore. Every time I drive south into MA everything changes: more trash, rudder people, crime, poor drivers. I have friends from NY and I don't know how they put up with it. At least Boston is livable. I don't see NY that way. But a lot of it is what you're used to and feel familiar with. I've also spent a lot of time in TN; a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there. :flag:

Zand, growing up where I did and traveling for a sales job, I've literally been to 95% of the towns in the state of MA. I am there all the time.

I've said I'm glad people like it down there. Good for you.

Yeah & you've also put people down for living where they live.

Glad you like where you live, not what I'd want, glad it works for you.

Couldn't really care.

Don't put others down moderator wanna be.

Maybe some day you'll learn how to be a moderator but I highly doubt it.

Guess it's just not in your genes.

Great stuff steamboat. Like you too

Feelings mutual.

See we agree on some things.

 

[VTKilarney]

I've always thought that the Pioneer Valley is a nice spot. Close to civilization, but close to skiing too. Greenfield has a pretty bad heroin problem, but there are still some nice areas in the vicinity.

"That city desert makes you feel so cold it's got so many people, but it's got no soul and it's taken you so long to find out you were wrong when you thought it held everything."

 

[BenedictGomez]

I've lived rural, I've lived city, I've lived suburbia. I know the pros and cons of each.

If you feel the need to spend a ton of time ripping other people's choice of living area (see: the last few pages of this thread), it's likely you feel an insecure need to validate your own decision.

 

[deadheadskier]

If that's directed at me. I was joking around. I've got lots of friends in Jersey and while most live there because of family, it has lots of redeeming qualities. Skiing isn't one of them, but being within a couple of hours of good skiing isn't the highest priority for everyone like it is for me. I did say if I lived by you, I'd ski the Catskills or Poconos if it was cold.

Do I want to live in Jersey, NY or Southern New England? No. Happy folks love it. Not for me. Having worked in the hospitality industry for many years, I've lived 12 different states. I'm well versed in living in all sorts of different places.

I think a more adequate theory is that some folks are overly sensitive about people not liking their home. Sorry I and others hurt your feelings. Bash on New Hampshire all you want. I really couldn't care.

Looks like summer is here.

Let's get back to Peaks.

Any major projects at Attitash or Wildcat? I know that they are working on snowmaking at Mount Snow. I don't think that they are doing anything big at Crotched.

 

[Jully]

I haven't heard anything at Wildcat or Attitash for winter improvements. Was really hoping for one more snowmaking project at Wildcat to get Upper Wildcat equipped with snowmaking since the pipes over there are unusable, but that doesn't appear to be the case

 

[deadheadskier]

Only thing I've gotten out of Wildcat is expanded glades on the lower mountain.

 

[bigbob]

Unfortunately I have had to commute through DHS town lately and the traffic jams have been brutal. I once had to sit in traffic for 5 minutes. Imagine that. I can't wait till they finish the water line replacement project! One day there was total grid lock when Rick decided to paint the cross walks. The cops didn't know what to do. Got a good laugh out of that one! The good news is Aroma Joes just opened!

Now lighten up Steamboat, what's a matter, fish aren't biting?

 

[deadheadskier]

See, I'm against Aroma Joe's. I think once it catches on, it will result in traffic back ups of a minute or two on Main Street. :lol: If the town goes crazy and puts in it's first traffic light, I may have to move. :lol:

Now the new Nature's Way Market, Japanese Restaurant and Brewery that are opening, those I'm excited about.

 

[bigbob]

It might help relieve the back ups at the other coffee shop in the bowling alley parking lot. I saw a sign go up today for Newberry Farm Market along with a butcher shop next to Aroma Joes. Too much progress, Agree on the light, my town now has 2 and it sucks! Next thing we might get is more sidewalks and street lights!

 

[deadheadskier]

Newberry Farm, that's the name. Owned by the same folks who own Nature's Way in South Berwick. I used to sell bacon and duck to them about five years ago when I was in the business. The South Berwick store has a killer beer selection; great meats too, though on the pricey side. It will be nice to not have to drive to Stratham, Durham or Lee if I just need to grab something quick to throw on the grill.


Prayers you don't get more street lights! :lol:

Wish that was the case, they really need to be replaced.

 

[Edd]

I'm so behind the grocery store here, but I can't get myself to go to Aroma Joes, despite the convenience. I've gotta support Crackskulls, man.

 

[catsup948]

After this past weeks business travels through CT & MA, getting stuck in countless traffic jams and seeing the overwhelming evidence of crime problems, I got home and told my wife should I ever switch jobs, I want nothing to do with working south of the border you mention.

Glad some people are happy living in those locales, but it's way too crowded for me.

No crowds here! No jobs either! Lots of cows!

 

[bigbob]

Not a coffee drinker, but I have been to the Big Bean for breakfast many a time. +1 on the grocery store/ butcher shop.I wonder when they ill open?

Never even saw a cow in NYC. Crowds yes, jobs yes, but no cows.
