Your not from PA? sorry...

Shoobies are people from PA who go to the Jersey shore for the day with a shoebox with their lunch and what not..I was lucky enough that my grandparents had a beach-house when I was growing up so I'd just hit up Wawa for lunch..so I'm not a Shoobie..and I'm guessing you don't have a Long Island accent just because you ski at Hunter..

I was always told that Shoobies were the losers from PA that wear their shoes on the beach... usually with black socks.. ;)

Is your two year campaign to mudsling ever going to stop? What's your goal? To help close a ski area?

My goal? To post my opinion of PA ski areas. And we'll now expand that to "...without being drowned out by someone throwing an internet temper tantrum because they disagree with the opinion."

Jeez, how many message boards do you go around trashing my hill?
...
Oh, and I like your hill just fine, although they haven't bought a new snow gun since my last season pass...

I also think you're being a drama queen about this. You're making it sound like someone has been passing out handbills and waging an ongoing and never ending campaign of disinformation about the subject. In reality, I've posted this opinion four times (four postings) on ski chat websites, this time being the fourth. Three others were at PA Ski & Ride a few years ago. You flipped out there also. You haven't changed at all. Time to grow up and start acting civilized.

I'm missing how the number of snow guns at Sugarbush have any bearing on this.

Sorry you fl that wa GSS, really. I can only take so much BS then I gotta spout off and call a spade a spade. The dude may be cool, but he's not showing it in here---just sayin'

Hey, I got on the wrong side of people because I posted that the Sox, Bonds, and the recent Yankee accomplishments were all because of cheating. Greg told me I should shut up and not come to a New England MB and say such a thing. Ya know, like some people come to PA MB's and chuckle (or was it cackle?) about dipshit little PA places that claim to be as steep as anything up north. In fact, AZers called for the immediate firing of the marketing staff of said dipshit little ski area...turned out to be a 72 yr. old guy who volunteers his time, but off with his head anyway.

Kind of ironic how my mentioning the steroid abuse that ruined an era of baseball (an the Curse of the Babe) drew such ire, yet I'm the Angry Man.

And then the hyena mentality went crazy when I used hyperbole about throwing people off the lift for lighting up next to me. Ya know, sorta like saying there are seven thousand crappy skiers at WF. I guess I should say a trillion next time...ah, but then somebody would chirp that there probably hasn't even been a trillion skiers visits at WF in the years since opening.

Internet bully? Pfffftttt...I define internet bully as someone who abuses a friendship by joining flame wars on a MB that a person is held accountable for by a boss. Listen dmc: you sent June home crying more than once because of the grief she took in the office defending you and the endless wars you jumped into. You could have been a voice of reason, but couldn't help yourself. I'm sure you have no clue what I'm talking about. Your surely above ever having done that.

WF management? Someone wants to look into the real story? Hey, go right ahead. But the only reason WF management found a moral backbone and fessed up to the crappy little secret was after a NY superstar racer (and subsequent US Ski Teamer) had his inspection skis "accidentally" picked up. Eh, the dude was sure they were his and was really sorry...nothing negative meant about the innocent victim who is a fantastic kid and had no idea what had happened. If you want dates, the future US Ski Teamer crashed out that December day, as I recall. It was a GS...

You have a very skewed sense of reality....

June(Ex Hunter Marketing Director) is a very close friend - even though she lives in Vegas now I see her all the time - I visited her last October actually...

I'll ask her about it... She's never mentioned it at all... In fact we have fond memories of those days and talk about all the characters all the time..

I won't get into her professional issues with Hunter and and circumstances as to why she left... But it was not because of me....

Eh, just FYI, Hunter is closer to New York City than Sno is to West Philly. Not by much, though.

Hey guess what....

I don't care... :)

Now don't go for me cause you got your tail between your legs with everyone else...
