Speaking of Nazis, I have a pair of ski pants from Obermeyer that I bought before I knew anything about the company. It was founded by Klaus Obermeyer who is still very much alive today. He has some story about "escaping Germany" over the Alps on skis that seems to always read slightly...

Not to get political but Google Akio Toyoda. Not too great either.

Considering I bought mine for $41K after all the incentives, that really isn't a terrible depreciation.

Devil will be in the details and pricing, but this could definitely lift the value of used Teslas: https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/3299/tesla-launching-extended-battery-warranty-program-in-2026

That place has always had a lot of potential, I hope they are successful.

The only problem with a bus as enthusiasts, is that we want the freedom of a car to get first tracks on a pow day, but most people don't care about that

OvrRide was/is very popular

Anyone have the Conti Viking Contact 7 (or 8). CR gives them slightly better ratings. Been mulling over putting a winter setup on the Tesla, but I worry about reduced stopping on dry and wet pavement.

https://investor.uber.com/news-events/news/press-release-details/2025/Uber-Ski-Hits-the-Slopes-This-Winter-Season/default.aspx Any guesses on what an Uber from Brooklyn to NC would cost? I'm gonna go with $400

I think the entire luxury vehicle market regardless of powertrain is having a pullback.

I used to take it, but just to Albany where my car was waiting. I think a big part of the problem is that Amtrak is very local after that

For a few years I used to leave my 06 Escape at the Albany station, take the train from Penn, then drive the rest. Considering how long and stressful it was getting out of Brooklyn it was about the same amount of time if not shorter. Of course it was a coin flip if that shitbox would start...

Looks like the Phoenix has Sold and/or rebranded: https://publichousehotel-adirondacks.com/ There's also the Alpine and the B&B.

If Gore had a Gondola from the town to the base, a snow train from Atlantic Terminal and/or Penn Station would be incredible for city folks

Do the guns go on tonight? Forecast is looking great.

When are they just gonna spiral a frozen tube around a sky scrapper? The Burj Khalifa is 2700 feet, that's some serious vert.

Hope this filled up all the snowmaking ponds

Not quite, but it's getting better.

Counterintuitively, I almost think the longer 6+ hour drives are less of an issue with EVs as opposed to the 4 - 6 hour drives. I mostly ski the under 3 hour away Cats these days, which is well within the 310 mile range of my Y (new ones have a bit more), but I used to do the 5 hour Brooklyn...

If you have a 350 mile range EV, going 70 mph is 5 hours of driving. I don't believe you drive for 22 hours straight. And if you really do, a forced break for 20 - 30 minutes every 5 hours might not be a bad thing
