Drive option is more than my mortgage.
How is gas 450 a month for commuting? Based on your profile, you're in Stamford. Stamford to NYC round trip would be 80-90 miles a day. So let's say 450 miles a week. Even if you had a car that only got 20mpg, that's 22.5 gallons of gas per week or about 90 gallons a month. You'd have to be paying $5/gallon to hit $450 in gas expenses.
Anyway, those costs in general are a big reason for why I'd never want to commute into NYC.

What do commuting costs to NYC have to do with Sugarbush?

If there is snow we ski. It always has been that way since the 80's I'll say that not having the full apre at Castlerock/Rumbles/on the plaza with bands and all kinds of comradery with my friends was kind of a drag. The first time I had beers on the plaza was 2 weeks ago. The rest of the year was on my deck or someone else's deck. I will not miss this years protocols.
To me bike season is all year so there is no real switchover except we do much more road biking. I think we had 3 weeks on the North Shore of Boston that we did not mountain bike but we did XC ski. Great year for biking.

I'm not the one that started that discussion...doesn't mean I can't be curious about the numbers though.

did my first warm weather shorts bike ride this past saturday. felt good.
I thoroughly enjoyed this ski season. It was infinitely better than what I was expecting. My wife, on the other hand, had a much bigger problem with the pandemic related changes. She hated booting up in the parking lot and having restrictions on going inside.
let's all hope/pray we got some more snow next season.

I got lucky..snowed every day i was there..
I also thoroughly enjoyed the season and was shocked at how much I enjoyed it. Zero issues for me with booting up at the car...I've always done it. It would be nice for my wife to be able to hang at the lodge (she doesn't really ski much these days), but she also has little problem occupying herself while I ski with the kids. Skiing was one of the few things that really kept me sane during the colder months. I would have been pretty miserable if the season didn't pan out the way it did.
While I'm sure it wasn't great for Sugarbush, I found the lack of lift lines to be wonderful. Even the most busy day that I experienced this season was well within a reasonable wait.
The thing I missed was going out to dinner. Although to be frank, even that wasn't so bad...did a lot of take out. The kids were happy cuz they could watch netflix. I was okay with it because I'm exhausted after skiing anyway. That said, eating in your hotel room isn't ideal. Got better as the season went on and you could eat in the hotel lobby.

At Hunter I ate in my truck..which was great as I had no crowds and the music was good
I'd echo most of these sentiments as well. I wasn't sure what to expect and thoroughly enjoyed the ability to be out there skiing. I'll also agree that a few less people on the slopes was definitely nice.
I did miss going out to dinner as well. Take-out just isn't the same, but I still tried to do it 1-2 times a week to make sure I was supporting the local restaurants.

looking forward to that 30 minutes of extra access on one random tuesday a month. (not hating, just in reality it will be a very difficult benefit for most to use).

That sucks for me. I already bought the early ups. I think that they should either discount my early ups or.....let us out even earlier at 7am. Ya that's the ticket.
