Radical Prediction Thread

[riverc0il]

Lately I can't even tell the difference between threads. I think all we need is one giant thread. This about sums everything up:

• HPD claims of Whitefaces awesomeness.
• Lots of people say they have to get there, but it is too far.
• HPD proves the New Yorkers wrong, showing how it closer then K-mart.
• Someone says Sugarbush is better and it will be the most popular ski area in the ease soon.
• I come out with some random stat, that I pretty much just made up at the moment of the post, and it gets proved wrong in the next post.
• I try to make up some more random crap to regain my dignity, but end up failing even worse. I don't talk again unless someone mentions Wildcat, which never happens.
• Trailboss states why Burke is the best destination, and offers up a tour.
• Andyzee tries to be funny, but usually just ends up talking about what he hopes the next item on SAC is going to be.
• Marc, says some totally random and out context, but it is ussually quite funny.
• Cen10, makes Marc comment into something gay and childish.
• Riverc0il questions the authority and true meaning of the question and writes a really long post about it. He is almost always right, but it drives us nuts.
• Bvibert, provides us with 19 threads and google hits about the same exact thing.
• AHM tells how some mountains in like Greenland or something, and his fat skis are better than Whiteface.
• Greg tries to get the thread back on track but fails.
• No one really has any idea what the thread is about until nightingale bumps it about 3 years later.

Anyone have anything to add. I must have missed something.

post of the year! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here's mine: In 3 years time Whiteface Mountain will be the clear #1 ski destination in the East.

I thought that the #1 Ski destination in the East was decided by the readers of Ski magazine in their annual resort issue...due out any day now for this years rankings

SRO, I've respected what you write since you where Bushwacker on RSN, but tell me why I'm wrong.

Anyways, I'm just tryin to get something going. This is a fun discussion for me, but I hope someone else makes a radical prediction on this thread tomorrow.

Ok, here is why your wrong

It's in New Yawk
It's further from NYC than 4hr 40 min
It's in New Yawk
snow conditions can be very dicey
it's in New Yawk
No lodging at base
it's in New Yawk
no base village
it's in New Yawk
top part of mountain closed often
too many New Yawkers
low average snowfall
it's not in New England
government owned
cab ride is too expensive
:wink:

I rest my case
In 3 years Stowe or Sugarbush will be voted the #1 ski resort in the east

Ya know how you can tell it's winter in NYC...the cabbies all have wool turbans :lol:

Austin, you goofed up again. This is the radical prediction thread, not the state the exact truth thread

I just want to add that it was one great post. Very funny.:grin:

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

Ok, here is why your wrong

No lodging at base

no base village

I look at those as pluses. I don’t want it’s base to be surrounded by condo ghettos and Alpine strip malls.

 

[John84]

I look at those as pluses. I don’t want it’s base to be surrounded by condo ghettos and Alpine strip malls.

You may not want that, but the average ski 2 weekends a year family of four is most likely looking for lodging near the base, as is a majority of the "destination resort" visitors.

 

[riverc0il]

i agree with you on that one, but to many skiers, that is a HUGE minus. see what i mean?

 

[highpeaksdrifter]

piss off man, . that less wishy washy for ya?

Yes it was, thank you.

Good point

This thread really does exemplify everything that is great and lame about this board.. :roll:

And in VT the mousey looking lesbians are wearing wool panties when they deliver their carved bears and syrup.. Unless they work at a place that New Yorker go to... Then they can afford heat...

I predict, radically, that over the next 5 years there will be a rebirth of several lost ski areas as people tire of fighting crowds and traffic to pay high ticket prices at McMountains. Locals will start to ski locally more, and leave big name areas to the commuters.

I think there will also be a flurry of improvements relating to green energy at resorts, and a crush of marketing to the psuedo-hippy set. This will also lead to a growth in the number of unwashed free-heelers on teh slopes. Combined with the continuing popularity of snowboarding and park skiing, this will lead to greatly improved access to certain organic recreational pharmaceuticals at ski areas, finally pushing doobage into a socially acceptable class sufficient for drug law reforms. Soon afterwards the country will breath a collective sigh of relief as our giant panties untwist a bit and we all chill out a little. The first woman will be elected President, and she will be a Birkenstock-wearing, plaid shirted Earth mother who will preach peace and happiness for three years. At approximately 38 months into her term, she will finally get fed up with global rabblerousers, and will nuke the living daylights out of 1/4 of the globe. She will be praised for her ability to make tough decisions, but pilloried by her hippy base for the environmental havoc wreaked by the nukes. A long nuclear winter will set in, which will energize the ski set. They will come out of their drug-induced haze (because growlight doob isn't as good) and catch more powder days than ever before.

And to make Awf happy, Marc will be arrested (again) for having unnatural relations with a goat, two sheep, and a room full of hampsters.

[bvibert]

post of the year! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Agreed, great post Austin! :lol:

Unfortunately I'm way too busy working on the SAC Tracker for Andy to find you links to 19 different threads...

 

[smootharc]

Why ?

Why would anyone WANT their favorite resort to be #1 in the East ?

Sounds like a sure recipe for more traffic jams, more loud and arrogant BSD's from the large urban centers blowing hot air up eachother's a##es (and their little BSD in training kids beating up your nice kids), more bigger ticket prices, more outlet shopping, and more latte swilling trophy wives (of aforementioned BSD's) stinking up the joint with their expensive perfume and entitled additude.

Oh, and less powder for Me, Me, Me (and youse guys, my friends).

Disclaimer: If I offended and stereotyped anyone....oopsie.

 

[smootharc]

Holy cats....

....that was fast. What do you have, a hard drive filled with pictures of Mousey Lesbians ? Scary....

ROTFLMAO...OK, now you owe me for all the coffee I have to clean off my monitor.

EDIT: now it goes double since you posted the pic for smoothy
