    Mount Peter Conditions

    We don't either - for Belle it was a ski club I am apparently not supposed to name on blogs. For Gore, one season we did a seasonal rental. Kinda small but fine, 8 min to the mountain. The season after they wanted to see if we wanted to rent again - they were great and I remember it was...

    They must have cut a week! Save's them 1/7th I guess.

    Mount Peter Conditions

    If i may, be patient with yourself and your little one. Unless he or she is trying to do the wedge of death down a black (which I can't justify), it does take them time to develop nueromuscular coordination, and other than a habit they can work out of over time, a wedge for a period of time is...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Don't get me started on fridges and washing machines. I bought a good oven from a top brand viewing it as a consumption investment and it has been great. Fridges, unless you drop way too much money, seem designed to last 3-5 years. I can't justify spending the money on that. And I got a...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Y'all know I don't buy individual stocks (got a good reminder why it is against my investing rules when i dropped a little cash on Rivian haha) but BYD would be a good bet, certainly a few years ago (the beauty of hindsight). Buffet I believe has a big position in it, and he certainly knows of...

    Where towing is stated as 'unlimited' and the hitch falls off under tension in vids . . . .

    The Future of NYSkiBlog

    I don't know what I would do if I were you because it is very personal. If you envision a point that you would want to hand it over or kill it, and the concern about handing it over is that you won't like what it will become, you could address that to some degree by coming to an agreement with...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Thanks for posting. Question: how was moxham? Loved it as a natural snow trail and didn't get to it on our short trip. I laughed when you referred to the turn of death on Cloud. My wife mostly won't go to the summit because of that turn. I kind of forget where mini cloud is - is that what...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Also insanely fast charging times. Someone (Jason?) has posted videos but the charge rates in China are insane. I think they have usable and somewhat accessible fillups i the 5-15 minute range. Not a 150 miles of range in 20 minutes, filling up i a few minutes. My Rivian, as much as I like...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    It is also true, though, with the extra weight snows are more important. Someone can explain the physics of it, but as you increase weight, you increase the time it takes to regain traction once you lose it. Having snow tires is the most important factor in not losing traction in cold...

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Many years ago when my son was born I wanted a highlander hybrid (I think Tesla may not have been in NY yet, and I saw where the family was going size was so i wanted a somewhat usable 3d row). I think maybe they are in mid 30s in town.

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    I know of an organic dairy farm that is not big in the Syracuse area - maybe 60-150 head. They live pretty simply and get by, but I don't think they are crushing it economically. Of course, this sounds like it is not the factory farm approach. From what I hear, because of milk price...

    Let's Talk about Parking at Gore

    When I was getting to the mountain by 8 a.m. to get my charging spot, I saw a toyota SUV parking and then I think the driver realizing they parked in a way where they were stuck. I was focused on safely getting where I was going but I saw some tire spinning to try to back out a bit. I think...

    I may be weird but I like that approach better.

    Let's Talk about Parking at Gore

    It is crazy. I actually don't care that much that resorts charge for paid parking (I don't pay for it and it is unlikely I ever will), but I had not been to Gore in a few years, and it is literally a massive portion of the main parking lot. There probably should be some common sense balance...
