No one except Stratton and maybe Stowe would do that here. More Waffle Haus' would be nice though.

Am I the only one who likes D&D over Starbucks? One thing I can't stand about big cities is the lack of D&D compaired to Starbucks.

i frequent D&D more but prefer Starbucks coffee. many friends have commented to me that Starbucks is too strong(bitter). they came out with a new new "blonde" roast which is supposed to be more appealing to the masses, i tried and didn't like.

What's D&D?

Dunkin' Donuts

and I'm with Glen in that I prefer it to Starbucks, but then again I'm not a coffee purist. I take mine with cream and sugar, so at that point the $3 quality Starbucks puts in front me isn't really appreciated.

Starbucks also has double the colonic effect, so depending on what my immediate plans are, I consume that shit with caution. :lol:

OK...not Dunkin & Donuts. :wink:

I like DD coffee but not the way they make it in the stores. Too weak and no matter how many times I ask they always put in too much cream.

I was a big fan of Starbucks for many years, but after a while the dark roast was just too much to take.

One advantage of being a coffee drinker is that being irregular is not an issue.

I'm a one mug a day guy who makes his own from beans roasted in Campton NH but a hot chocolate for the ride up would be great.

I saw this a few days ago, and I can't imagine how it would work. It's literally on the slopes, and it's ski through, so people will be skiing with the coffee in their hands? That's a recipe for disaster.

At least it if were at the base, you could drink the coffee on the lift ride up.

How much litter do you think this will create under the lifts?

I didn't want to mention it after a thread on SJ but this is a valid point. Mostly teens would be the top offenders.

There's also the possibility of getting coffee spilled on you if you ski under the lift. How would that look in the papers? Skier maimed from scalding hot coffee dumped from above
