Good on you for that. Seriously. If those purchase are even 20% of your portfolio that's a big win. I bought stock every Friday for the last 38 years. My only true win, beyond that discipline, was that I lived below my means to be able to continue to buy even in tough times. In 2008 my pay was...

This was really one guy. I'll grant that he spoke quite loudly. It's not too hard to guess. I haven't heard anyone complain. Unless 'everyone else' means the ski area owners. Living in Colorado, he can just ignore it, right?

For me the Berks: • Are a bit farther out of the way on the route from NJ to the Adk. • Have lower base elevations and are generally warmer, getting more rain and less snow. Two other big factors: There is no place like Plattekill. Yes, the tail does wag the dog. I tend to choose NY. VT second.

The pass makes sense for me. I don't do the math. A normal season for me is maybe 8 days at Plattekill and 10 days at Gore. Some weekends, I drive Sat AM to Plattekill and then to Gore for Sunday, or the reverse. Gore pass, gets me Belle, and Whiteface. I'll usually ski 2-3 days at Belle and...

In Spain, I believe if you are in the country, regardless of status, you can walk into the ER and get help. I wouldn't say it goes away, but it is reduced. And not as low as it would be in Spain for your entire lifespan.

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?
