That's our plan also, if all goes right it will be in place for the 27/28 season.

Good for you. I will be ready in 29 but I think my wife is look for like 30. Things can change but it has been a long good run and I am ready to enjoy life.

I was just looking on Google Maps at Europe. It appears that they put the lifts back on the map. Interesting.

Always love the anti-tax guys and girls who shit on the teachers salary... nice work asshat. Its definitely the teacher salary that's F'ing the cost of education in VT. You are Nostradamus...

Don't you want educated people teaching your kids? Also VT has a shortage of teachers as well because guess what, THERE'S NOWHERE FOR THEM TO LIVE on the teachers salary!

For the record not a teacher, but this anti-teacher sentiment has always rubbed me the wrong way. Especially now since entitled parents and kids have made the job miserable. Also add in crazy kids shooting up the school to the list. Does your job have to do active shooter drills like schools do now? I bet not...

wife- teacher; sister- teacher; sister #2 - teacher; Mom- school nurse. No one goes into teaching to earn a large paycheck. The cost is the question- the allocation of capital from the taxpaying public is simply atrocious. Admin has grown exponentially, while kids # remain flat and teacher salary growth is less than half admin salary growth, and we ( JQ Public) sit by and let it rip. #1 in world in ed in 60's -70's- now 37th.Its the main expense line item of state government. Just asking the question.


The shooting has a solution no one wants to consider. No one ( crazy or not) goes to a gun fight with a knife.


Meanwhile snow looks good: https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-72.92593982638928&lat=44.16121777062571

Just skied ME this afternoon. No lines (of course). Rim Run was buttah, upper Bravo to Exterm, skier's right side of both- crazy good snow. Upper FIS was firm underneath, but good cover and skier's right was most manageable. North Star has fun rollers on it; same for Which Way but icier than NS. Really nice skiing and the additional snow will make tomorrow a keeper.
