...luck building that now that there is 3 feet of snow on the ground He also pointed out that all the new bubble lifts are sitting in an industrial lot somewhere in Idaho because they can't be out in the weather overnight or they will break????? Yeah, that's what he said so again, take...

No. It's the ski areas that are encroaching on its limited habitat - coniferous forests above 3K' in the Northeast It's not in "so many different places" - it's that there are actually very few of those "different places" that support the bird. The thrush itself is increasingly rare. From...

...said Mammoth had an "environmental officer," whose position was eliminated within the past couple of years. He also reminded me that big industrial customers do not pay the high marginal rates for electricity that residential customers do. Therefore the energy replaced by a Mammoth wind...

I agree with the most of this, this is where the US demographic is different from the rest of the industrial countries in Canada and Western Europe and Japan. I explained a few demographics point like immigration and births a few pages prior. As for immigration growth, today's immigration comes...

Mine are warrantied to produce at least 95% of initial capacity for 25 years. Yes, after the utility rebate and federal tax credit I paid $17,000 out of pocket. It's hard to get a precise fix on the energy savings. Glendale's city-owned utility has 2 tiers at 10 cents and 20 cents. There are...

...a ski area as touted. Those taxpayer subsidies are nice aren't they. Without them solar is very, very niche. Even the very best designed industrial scale solar is at a minimum 17-18cents per KWH right now and usually much higher (which is down significantly from the past, but still nowhere...

...the towers was circulated by the local town government. There was some pretty clearly negative language in the document, referring to 'industrial wind farms', and asking the responder to choose between noise levels which were 'annoying' and my favorite - 'or worse'. I attempted to inquire...

I agree with you about the tourism vibe thing, I generally compare uniquely challenge/terrain/snow ... that is always what I base my preferences. When I talk better than Sutton/Orford, it's a neutral analysis based on the three criterias above without being tainted by the atmosphere and my...

...skiing in the winter of 2000, Tremblant was the second ski area I visited (after Orford). I remember it having some fun trails, but the industrial tourism vibe didn't agree with me, and that was 10 years ago. I'm surprised that you'd rather ski there than Sutton and Orford, but you've...

...by fricken WEIGHT and the 5% you keep quoting is alcohol content by VOLUME!. 3.2% by weight = 4.0% by volume. And most mass market, industrial produced beer in North America is 4.2% - 5.4% ABV, with the average being 4.8% ABV. That works out to needing about two extra sips with your 12oz of...

3.2% versus 5% for most industrial produced Canadian beer (which I rarely drink anyway). Microbrewery are at a total different level. I'm sure that some European beer amateur is probably laughting at this discussion now. Q? Brador (which was a Molson product (not even a micro) when I could buy...

...the Sous-Bois (“glade” in French) Bar for some Belle Gueule beers. To underscore the skiing-in-the-woods theme, even the beer comes out of a tree: We really liked Massif du Sud –- it’s got an intimate, unpretentious, no-industrial-tourism vibe –- and I’d love to go back when the woods are...

...of Admin's Greatest Hits. When I bumped the Bend, OR thread, I saw how you and Rob were trying to outdo the other with stock photos of soul-killing environments: cookie-cutter suburbia in Utah and post-industrial decrepitude in the northeast. That pic of Troy -- truly a low blow -- cracked...

No, I would not travel to WY for Snow King. I echo Tony's comments a bit - it's good to have choice. And I kinda figured you had your own priorities when I read about your New Mexico trip and you did not make room for Taos despite the fact you were in the locale. My sentiment is that Snow...

...up, Francis. Everyone else makes blanket statements about things here; I figured it was my turn. There are very few ski resorts that are consistently crowded midweek/non-holiday, and Vail has lots of terrain for an easy-to-please person like me. I just don't like the Industrial Tourism vibe.

The operational costs would be far less going to gaspesie compared to SLC or DEN. My guess would be that if the skiing were superior to the east, as it would be, and more or less equal with out west in terms of snow and terrain, again it would be, people would go. If enough people go it becomes...

I agree in principle that the Chic Chocs would be a unique destination (desolate, undeveloped, rural Quebec culture, etc.) compared to the industrial tourism of the Rockies, but even if an airline offered scheduled air service from our area, there's no way it would be remotely competitive...

Dude, it's a freakin resort, not an industrial complex. With the way the economy is right now, it's nice to see people at work, even though what they are building, people aren't really able to buy. The Greek Peak management has said they will upgrade the lifts and facilities if they sell enough...

...got a decent response. I've actually seen a few reports from Utah there. I think you're still traumatized by Francois (apparently, I missed that era here). If there's fresh snow at Sundance, I'd highly recommend a midweek day there. It doesn't have the industrial tourism vibe that you get...

...ago, however I haven't had time to find bindings yet. :roll: I mentioned it above, the high Canadian dollars has been hurting many industrial sectors like Manufacturing which are mainly based in the East. Canadian Products sold on the US Market were less competitive. 80% of all Canadian...
