Uhh...a couple mistakes in that video in the pre-recorded sections. Doesn't anyone verify what they're saying for accuracy?

"4200 feet vertical"? I don't think so. The lift may be 4200' long, but that's not the same as the vertical it covers.

"And the chairs are detachable so they slow down for loading, unlike a gondola or fixed chair". Pretty sure no one would be able to get on/off the gondola at Stowe if it didn't detach and slow down in the terminals...

Otherwise nice to see progress being made...

editing in journalism or marketing is dead. the spelling and grammar errors I read in articles is embarrassing and I'm an engineer who is incredibly poor at both of those things...

Not sure it's the editing as much as it is having a reporter that actually knows something about what they're reporting on. Both DEFINITELY are issues, and certainly have fallen a long way over what they used to be not all that long ago.

The reality is that many on air "reporters" today, especially the sub 30 aged ones, are folks just reading a script (also likely written by someone who doesn't know much about the topic at hand) who couldn't make it in some type of acting career

Its just another result of the 24-hour news cycle, instant gratification mind set.

Typo in Dr Jeff's post!

One of my "super powers" is that my spelling and grammar are often so bad, that I overwhelm most any spelling/grammar checking software known to human kind with just a couple of key strokes!

We don't need no stinkin' Jackson Hole!

Been interviewed many times for tech articles in my industry. Frequently the writer or editor sends their draft for review. I correct and they often don't update anything prior to publishing. Nothing you can do other than be thankful - as some pub is better than no pub... and I do know a great pub in Stowe! (keeping it on topic)

You shouldn't even need to know about skiing or lifts. Mt Mansfield itself is only about 4400' tall. Lifts don't go anywhere near the top. And the base is nowhere near sea level (even the town of Stowe is substantially above sea level). Just simple logical thinking should tell you the lift can't possibly cover 4200' of vertical.

Back in my working days I managed a sales department and was responsible for hiring sales reps. I read a lot of resumes. Those with typos were instantly relegated to the "do not hire" pile. If that is the "best" effort a candidate can muster I don't want to deal with them on a "bad" day.

I have no use for modern day media.

It always drove me absolutely insane when I saw typos in resumes I received over the years. There's just no excuse for that. You have all the time you need to get the resume ready before you start sending it out for a job.

It seems like these days, we are supposed cut everyone a break becasue english may not be their first language

4,200’ vertical is correct. This lift has been extended to the summit, and at the base will continue on to Boston to ease traffic. Not sure how she missed that in her otherwise spot on reporting.

You folks amaze me.
“A typo on a Resume” my god, toss it !!’
Your an whata be, but never really met it, eh.
Some sob made a typo and in the trash it goes, right. Well, the same goes for you, when you stomp on people here in Vt. Your Standards don’t apply here, your type 1 ass is from out of State, we care here about an applicant that may make us better….Not a Typo
I was a star in Boston many years ago, I never judged people from their resume ! You must be full of your personal accomplishments around town. Smile, criticize, talk like shit, drive, park, take over the restrooms, do whatever, I know you and as I’ve said before, “thanks, I don’t want to ride the chair with you, I don’t want to ski with you”
Just because you ski, I’m under no obligation to like you ! Get it yet

this place has the strangest conversations. especially in the summer.

'I was a star' lol

Back on course. I’m happy that a 6 pack is going in. It will take a lot of pressure off the quad.
