My CRV has chew marks in the head cover, mechanic said it's because of the soy. I'm all in on enviromentalism, but that is just fucking stupid.

I wouldn't call it a high level of worry. Life is good.

OCD makes sense it's rampant in my family. I think I have my shit dialed in. Basically all my gear stays in the car all winter. Anything that gets dirty gets washed and returned to it's spot. Doesn't mean I won't worry about it.

Actually I really hate flying, driving isn't nearly as bad for me. Now that I am BASED in the Adk, you can almost take 175 miles* off every drive I make. Jay is now closer to me than Plattekill was last year. I'm not sure what you call it clinically, but I have a hard time LEAVING for an...

Or another way to put it, 12 ski areas, four new. Both seasons (21 and 38 days) were reduced because of the construction of our new home. Lumping Gore together with nordic in the woods? OK. 24/25 was by far the best season of my career. The most powder by a long shot. I retired on December...

Any attendance estimates? It's certainly understandable that authorities wanted people out of harms way. But it does seem like staying home from No Kings because of political violence defeats the purpose.

I am hoping to do less driving. It's too much. Certainly I'll do far less per ski day in retirement. On the upside Jay and Smuggs will be 15 minutes closer to me in the Adk then Plattekill is now. And Plattekill will be ten minutes closer to the Adk too. NY and VT. I anticipate more VT in...

Is Stephan on patrol at Plattekill?

I'm not constrained, I'm doing exactly what I want to do. I'm just making different choices than you would make. Tony you are an amazing human, I've learned so much from you. But you have limited capacity to understand others who define happiness differently than you do. You're a world...

70s got nothing on the greatest cartoon theme song of all time, from the 60s. CRANK IT UP. Mods: Please change "1970s" to "old time" in the thread title. 🤠

Well kids I think we all learned a lesson from this.

This is pretty much what eric said.

So LP is the biggest of two. Right. New York doesn't have that in part because towns aren't exclusively resorts, you can afford real estate. Also, obviously as eric said, the topography out west, which makes for better skiing, limits the land to build on:

Which is really the problem, as eric points out. What else qualifies as a "ski town" in NY?

Is LP the biggest? Population 3000 I think. Syracuse is as close to Song as Lake Placid is to Whiteface. (Mt Pisgah is closer to LP.) I'm thinking more about family run places. At Titus, the Monettes have a business model that includes several businesses that run year round and they provide...

Makes skiing in upstate NY look almost sustainable by comparison.

I have some (40 years) experience investing. I know this. I thought they wanted no part of US bonds (and were selling) because they lost faith in the US. This ^^ makes more sense.

I thought it was the flight away from bonds (selling) in a down stock market, that caused the freak out. I'm not sure the president understands the stakes.

My buddy has a Totoya pluggin, lives 10 miles from work, buys gas 2x year. Seems like a good compromise with cheap Kwhs and no range anxiety.
