A "Gondola" for a 5 minute ride, which is 10 minutes by chair?

I saw the lifties at this place (ok, it was vernon valley at the time, but the still got the same inbread work force to deal with)...laughing when the let a chair go into a guy (albiet a beginner) and drag him, throw the mud, before the shut it off. Had to have dragged him 20 feet.

Still, what would be a third line?

Oh, and I'm sure there is no way I'm getting to that Mountain, I mean talk about boonies.

This guy ski999 can't get enough of putting words into other people's mouths. I've followed the relevant discussion over there with a morbid curiousity to see how badly he could mischaracterize the debate here and it's truly impressive. He's managed to transform a good laugh about the BS marketing hype we always decry elsewhere into some sort of perceived jihad against small, family areas in PA. Both an inferiority complex and a persecution complex wrapped up in one shiny package. Must be a delightful individual.

I'm glad that people around here have the maturity to acknowledge facts regarding inaccurate marketing fluff here in the Northeast. I hate it when I see it from Sunday river or K-Mart or Sugarbush or wherever else. Not sure why the rules are different for Ski Denton. The marketing guy may hold three other jobs. That's a tough road to hoe. But that doesn't excuse marketing claims that are not only wildly inaccurate, but also contravene the laws of physics (triple fall line).

Sorry. You're right, though.

:beer:

Now that I think about it, "road" never made any sense. In other news, I'm an idiot.

Thanks.

Thanks Tinman, that was an entertaining thread. I wish we were allowed to have them here :(

Well I live about 15 minutes away from Denton and lemme tell you, I've been down Avalanche and it's horrible, all ice from people snowplowing down it,

I don't know about PA skiing and I don't care, but how could someone snow plow down something with a 66 degree pitch?

BTW, 999's wife/girlfriend is a cutie. Good for him.

Its defiantly unpossible. I would say that you probably cant even snow plow down something 40 degrees, so no way 66. I really think that some of them over there tryin to kinda stand up for the place dont truly understand how steep 66 degrees is. 66 degrees is absolutey insane, there is no way if it was 66 degrees it would be able to be groomed

Unpossible? Get off this computer and study and do you're homework NOW.

I go to skool in lynn, they dont give no home work.

But really my school is so pathetic, I have had two homework assingments i have down at home so far this year, and Im in 5 honors classes
