Both of the "Apocalypse" threads to which tseeb referred were from 2008.
It's interesting to see how those situations turned out.
Kingslug wanted to move west but had a spouse with less interest in skiing who adamantly refused. He is now with Jackie, who was the organizer for the Diamond Dogs' Zermatt trip that Liz and I enjoyed in 2014. Kingslug and Jackie are still in the East but they have a vacation home in Stowe.
Our former admin's spouse still has no interest in skiing but enjoys the new RV aspect of their lifestyle, which is full time for 7 months per year and includes at least a week in Arizona in the winter.
From a ski perspective, Skidog was the big loser. Not only did he fail to get his pipe dream 50 day ski seasons after having kids, his non-skiing wife made him leave Utah and move back to the East in 2016. Skidog has been absent from these boards since then.
Skidog's Future: 50+ Day Ski Seasons or Apocalypse?
All of us are vicariously enjoying Skidog's last weeks of pre-fatherhood freedom.

The Apocalypse in the Kitchen
Perhaps many of the "serious skiers" who really want to ski powder, steeps, trees, bumps, etc. have moved West. :P Leaving the FTO New England hardcore a minority so small that eastern ski managements choose to ignore it. Except for MRG of course :wink: .
