I doubt RB goes back and edits his reviews every year to maintain up to the year accuracy. These types of pages are labors of love and sometimes little details slip on older pages due to the nature of the beast.

The Homewood and Squaw descriptions are pretty accurate if a bit dated.

I have looked at a few entries so IMHO they are reviews pretty much based on what you can get off the net, or a resorts brochures in some places, from 10 years ago or longer,in some cases. The Tenney review, don't really consider them reviews, makes me think it's been years since these folks have actually been there. It's been decades since Sugarbush North/Mt Ellen has been Glen Ellen.
I thought the Jackson Hole description was good but for their Sleeping Giant description they called Cody, "real Wyoming" which is silly cause their economy is dependent on tourists and Yellowstone NP and they have plenty of private jets flying in maybe just not as many as JH. The whole northwest corner of Wyoming is known as WyoDisney. Obviously they have never been to "real Wyoming".
In the interest in giving credit where credit is due, the comment in the Bolton Valley description, "Old line Vermont ski area. Has had some glitches in the operation; changes in ownership/management etc. through the years, but it's on fairly good footing these days" is right on the button.
Overall this website give a nice fairly detailed description of each place, especially the smaller hillls, which I think is very helpful to people not familiar with a particular area but as far as an up to date review by someone that has actually been there recently I'm not seeing that. There are better up to date descriptions already on the net.
