Great job staying out all day at -17. That is very difficult to do! One of the times at Stowe over a MLK weekend it was -30 with the wind chill, Stowe had one chair running on Spruce that day, we did one run then called it. Sitting out on the lift at -30 is brutal. I'd imagine -17 is just about as bad.OK, old guys breaking out their cold stories... One morning over Prez Weekend 1979 I drove by a bank in Rutland and thermometer read -37F. Went skiing with a buddy at Killington and saw a thermometer later during the day there that it warmed to -17. It was sunny and I was age 25. Skied a full day, but I did make a concession and bought a face mask.
After 50 years of skiing primarily in the East, now last 10 years primarily in the Rockies I still have to force myself not to dress as warm for western skiing as eastern skiing. 30 degs out there feels like 45 does back east. I guess it's the dampness East and sunshine West that makes the difference?
PS: growing up in Virginia, everything north of Richmond is Yankee territory I always considered NJ, NY and PA to be Northeast. DMV (DE, MD, VA) is it's own thing, but I'd consider those in the mid-Atlantic. I went to U of MD when it was in the Atlantic Coast Conference with Clemson, UNC etc. for southern orientation.

Stayed there a couple nights either last season or the one before, pretty sure I commented here.
There were indoor couches set up outside, a car on blocks, and some type of outdoor cooking set up. Haven’t driven by it this year.
I’d stay solo, rooms were clean, but no way with my wife.
Heads up on Super8 and Wyndham. They just started this deal now where you can't cancel online if you need to. The webpage just locks up when you try to cancel online. They are now forcing you to call them and argue with an agent, then their supervisor, as to why you have to cancel and they try to rebook you for different dates even though the terms and conditions say cancel no issues as long as it's 24 hours before. This is the second time I've run into this in the last month and was on the phone for a half hour each time arguing the terms and conditions to cancel.yep. stayed their many times. its a shithole but ive stayed in dirtier ones. the family who run it are nice enough.
in general im trying to stay in slightly nicer places. im in a burlington marriot courtyard this weekend. $60 more expensive compared to the white river inn and suites in WRJ. and in WRJ i graduated to the white river inn and suites from the super8, which is the fuckin worst place

Agreed on the Jackson Super 8 being great. I stayed at the one in Midvale UT several times before COVID and it was just as nice...good breakfast, very clean, quiet. Went back after COVID and it has been sold and suddenly everything looked like shit, no more breakfast, undesirables passed out in the back parking lot. Now I see that it's not even a Super 8 anymore.in general super8s can be fine. they are pretty franchise standardized in the decor and furnishings. but your mileage will vary on individual upkeep. the one in jackson (wyo) is a great place to stay, even for a week. the one in vermont is sad and dingy and depressing.
No........ to a New Englander a Yankee is from New York it is also refered to as a #@$% Yankee!!!! LOL"To foreigners, a Yankee is an American. To Americans, a Yankee is a Northerner. To Northerners, a Yankee is a New Englander. To New Englanders, a Yankee is a Vermonter. And in Vermont, a Yankee is somebody who eats pie for breakfast."
