Re: As baby boomers leave the ski slopes....

Re: Large condo fire in Killington

not many posts from me in the last few years. I'm a snowbird now, not in Snowbird. My ski club has a house in Mendon that sleeps about 50-55. In 1988, I was president and the club was inspected by the local fire marshall for violations and code upgrades. Other clubs in the area also were inspected. ...

Re: Peak drink special to die for

It's been a long time since I posted here, but that photo is more than worth a comment. I drank lots of Long Trails at the Peak with SS, but a Bloody with shrimp at the top on a Sunday morning with a fresh drop of snow? Got me wanting to come back up. I turned into a snowbird so I'd need to sell my ...

Re: Music in the Moguls

Sounded great, phones fit OK under my ski hat, accessibility was limited, but it was worth it to ski with some...

Re: Snow in Florida

I haven't been around in a while, so posting about florida snow makes sense to ski in on. Orlando is forecasting early morning flurries as a r*in system moves out, followed closely by the latest cold front coming down the Mississippi. Food concessions at the WDW/Universal parks look like KBase or Pi...

Thanks, Mrs G for the reports. I haven't been up and my club's house has been pretty dead too. Hopefully I'll be a regular Mon-Thu for the 2nd half of the season. Heading out to LA for a trade show Wed-Mon. Skiis are ready to go. Save me some powder. Shortski don't drink all the Long Trails at the P...

Big Kahuna Playing bass lines and melody on a guitar can be done by one person. Alternating bass, Travis style picking, hybrid picking (think Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, Danny Gatton) are three styles. It's not as full sounding as a piano, but it's two different instruments. Tuck Andress is a jazz pl...
