In 21/22 and 22/23 I paid full ride at Plattekill. In 21/22 I think I paid the second deadline price. I don't know how much for a pass $7 hundred something. Day tickets were in the 80s? I would bet that both of those years I didn't 'break even.'

I have no idea. I don't think that way. I don't remember the cost of a pass, and I don't know the cost of a day ticket. What was your break even point on your wedding day? When did the joy you get from your marriage exceed the cost of the ceremony? I'm kidding, it's a ridiculous question.

All of this. Fact. --- I was in Europe visiting family. My niece told me the biggest advantage to living in Europe is the lack of stress caused by the pursuit of healthcare before age 65. They feel that the culture is much more relaxed. (At the same time they were complaining about the tax...

Hold my beer. New day a dawning. Plattekill is secret sauce. Only open on weekends, never crowded. If you live in NY Metro, work a full time 9-5, and don't have a Plattekill pass, you're nuts IMO. I'm probably the only skier in America who'd rather drive to be first in line at Plattekill on...

If you favor the blue you are probably more concerned that the fed is a little bit behind the eight ball on rates. Job growth looks to be slowing. Understandably the fed wants to see two low inflation numbers in a row. The job they have isn't easy.

I said snow, I didn't specify powder. Your statistic proves my point: there is plenty of good snow that is not powder. I think you may have this backwards. Your viewpoint is built on assumptions that are so ingrained you don't even see them.

+1000 Like fun? For me competition is definitely a criterion. Snow and competition come before terrain.

So there you have it. Criteria, as requested. Now explain Killington vs Whiteface.

So the criteria for each tier is....popularity?

Those are ski area names. What is the criteria for each tier? Putting Plattekill below Stratton and Mount Snow is a joke. I guess it depends on whether the criteria includes potential for fun.

Define good.

OK, those whose electoral results would be negatively impacted.

Exactly. I don't see the EC ever getting unwound. The minority would never agree.

Tony that is something I'd really like to understand. Can you explain what the data is showing?

The system was built to empower the minority. It was done that way specifically to empower rural voters, who'd never win anything via popular vote. Three of the four 'parts' of the government favor the minority: Senate, 2 per state regardless of population President, the electoral college used...

Glad you guys are entertained. I'm sincere in my hope that our next president doesn't impact you negatively. Biden didn't resign for health reasons. He resigned because he was convinced he couldn't win. He remained confident he could do the job. (He's wrong about that, as inspiring confidence...

Agree. It also seems like the conservative media doesn't want him to step down. I interpret that to mean that both sides care more about winning then having a competent president.

This isn't accurate. There have been no volunteers. I've asked a few people.

We did politics at NYSB for about 2 years as an experiment several years ago and it created deep divisions that still remain, although they do seem to be fading. When one member (who lobbied hard for politics in the forum) said he couldn't stand it anymore, I killed it. That said maybe I...
