    I Asked ChatGPT to Rank Every Ski Area in NY

    If I did that again I would work on the methodology part a bit to come up with different criteria, but this is a good example of how to get the AI to do better work.

    I Asked ChatGPT to Rank Every Ski Area in NY

    I will share my prompts that I used for the table that created the chart below. "Give me a methodology that you will use to determine the best tree skiing in New York." "Do this all for Whiteface" "Add these to a table. " "make the left column the name off the ski resort. We will add many ski...

    In Which Sports Do Coaches Matter the Least and Most?

    I nominate soccer for the least valuable coaches. On the other end of the argument, I would say that American football is probably the sport where coaches matter the most and make the biggest difference in game outcome.

    Were the Olympics Better When They Were Held Every 4 Years?

    Good points. I still prefer every 4 years.

    I Asked ChatGPT to Rank Every Ski Area in NY

    I asked it to rank the ski areas in New York, and tell me why it got that ranking. Whiteface started as #1, but in the final step of prompting the #1 spot went to Gore. 1. **Gore Mountain** Gore Mountain is the largest ski resort in New York, with over 100 trails spread across four peaks. It...

    Olympic Break Dancing

    I am only annoyed that they call it breaking, as if this is cooler than break dancing. My first reaction was "not a sport" but I disagree with that strongly now. Modern break dancers are basically just gymnasts with baggy clothes and no apparatuses. If I ever needed to scope out a large group of...

    Were the Olympics Better When They Were Held Every 4 Years?

    I think it was a mistake to change things. It was better when it was every 4 years and the winter and summer competitions were held in the same year. It has had the same effect that you would expect if the World Cup was held every 2 years instead of every 4. It loses prestige. People get used...

    Nordic Combined Might Get Cut from Olympic Winter Games

    I am not pleased with NBC this year. I think they really took a dump on the Tour de France coverage leading up to the Olympics by moving almost everything to Peacock.

    Forum Feedback Thread

    To clarify, one thing that I meant was that if you want to know what people are discussing in a megathread, you have to go to the end first, then go backwards to find the comments everyone is responding to. You can't just read a thread title and see what the conversation is about once there are...

    Forum Feedback Thread

    I dont think having a multi-year thread is a good thing (such as the 500 page F Vail thread). The amount of money that this website would make through Adsense would go up if threads like that got locked. Over time, I think it would go way up. SEO-width is important and if there are more threads...

    Skiing and Altitude Sickness

    I would estimate that if a group of 8 skiers goes from the east coast to Breckenridge, approx 1 will get some kind of altitude sickness beyond just mild symptoms. There is an oxygen bar there that has saved many vacations for many people.

    Ebike or not?

    I rode one for the first time about 1 month ago. It was not an MTB so my one complaint may not matter here, but myself and the owner both wished that the lowest level of pedal-assist was about 50% less assist. The owner and his wife whose bike I borrowed have both been to the hospital multiple...

    The overland craze is out of control

    Photo is real I says. It is a dirt road that is separated from the ski resort and you can see the grass separating it. If this was fake there would be less brown and it would all be 2 ft deep powder, no faded tracks in front of it. While we are here, if anyone has the first edition of Chris...

    Skiing's Future

    Skiing will remain no matter what, with artificial surfaces and lots of park skiing at the center etc. Around the time the oil runs out, there will still be natural snow in my opinion, but not much of it. That's 50 to 70 years if there is no reduction in usage last I checked. I feel like...
