Agreed. If you didn’t live so close, I’d recommend Jiminy Peak for their night skiing as they’re open until 10pm seven days a week with superior mountain ops. West was the mountain the boys and I progressed to after learning at Maple Ski Ridge in 20-21, so it filled a need for us until the...

My guess is that they didn’t prioritize it, as they looked to be blowing the snot out of that side today when my son and I were driving up. My honest impression, especially after this reluctant visit that will most likely be my last for a while, is that they don’t care about much else but the...

I’m not complaining, I actually like the exercise. If I were a snowboarder then I might complain/go elsewhere/avoid the skates.

Just making me think about what it would be like to hike back to the AE2… I was a little surprised to see that I had skated almost a full mile from AE2 to BR at the beginning of my day last week. Can’t remember which one of you fine folks likes to (correctly) point out that Gore very well may...

Boo. Hate to see the struggles up there.

I know the iSkiNY passport for 3rd and 4th graders is still running; got my youngest on it now as a third grader and his brother had it the last two seasons. Great deal still but the number of mountains participating seems to have dropped off dramatically this season. Another one to know about...

Soft and buttery all over turning to crud down low. Top mostly held up. Ski Bowl/Hudson chair was fun.

Is that topridge?

No tents for me, just hockey and basketball arenas while I was with Ringling. I think I had 20 something different w-2s in 2007. It took me an hour and a half to get the “in tents” quip. Ha. That was good.

I hear you. I grew up in WA (no income tax) and went to school for a couple of years in OR (no sales tax). There are definitely people who get the shaft both directions with their live/work situation. When I worked for the circus, I had a w-2 from every state we played. Lots of fun at tax time.

Yes, but you probably have to be a resident or physically be in the state to pay this tax.

Do you collect a paycheck here, or do you mean paying property/school taxes? Another thought I had was that if there were a slightly lower price, it would help me pull the trigger on the $300 local bump pass that we end up at to get quick turns. Last year was the first year I didn’t, and it...

I (and everyone in the Deli & Meat Store of the North) definitely still consider myself a tourist, even though my drive might be a little shorter than some others. Maybe I should look at it as the prices are already low in comparison to other similarly sized mountains, though. Just asking...

Why the heck isn’t there one? It doesn’t seem right that as taxpayers we’ve paid $550 million plus in recent years and pay the same prices for passes and lift tickets as non-residents… Anybody know anybody in the state legislature? Even 10% off my season pass would be plenty enough to make me...

Despite warnings in the past, you would (or wouldn't) be surprised at the stories I hear after the fact.

Not worried for myself, just one more thing for the back of my head with 50 teenagers on the mountain.

Definitely the last thing I want to hear a few weeks out from our ski club trip there next month. Glad they made it out okay!

Bummed to hear their triple is still down… anybody know what’s going on? It’s been down for a couple of weeks now, from what I can gather.

Looking forward to the first Hickory Conditions report of the season, for sure. Have fun out there!

Was there on a weekday very recently - really just reaffirmed my negative feelings toward West. One way down for us common folk, Lower Mackerel was pretty torn up even early on. When it was time to go I went back to the lodge to change after the racers’ lunch break and there was garbage...
