    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    My son picks it up with his pickup truck, he's a good kid, leaves no room in the fridge for my wife's kombucha.

    ICE v Electric: Cost and Emissions

    Will be driving my Tesla to many ski areas next week, works for me, and I get to park up close no matter how late I get there. Winter range is only 15% less, not 40%. Can't wait for the Cybertruck, 500 mile range! 335 mile current range is more than enough for me, and btw over 22,000 miles...

    Winter Weather 20/21

    Came to the mountain late today, had fun, but tried for last chair and the AE and Gondola were both closed at 3:57. That’s ATTs time on my iphone. Not cool, and not the first time that has happened.

    Coronavirus and Skiing

    It is difficult to predict what will happen, but I am optimistic. State authorities have been focusing closings on specific locations, micro targeting. It seems unlikely that there will be a wholesale closure of all ski areas as happened in March, however if the numbers keep going up anything...

    Cuomo says ski areas in NY to open at 50% Capacity

    Killington is allowing only ticketed skiers into their lodges this year. There will only be one way to enter these to control numbers. I imagine something similar will be happening at Gore/Whiteface. There have always been large numbers of people in the lodges that do not ski, perhaps 20%...
