Re: Vail Resorts Capital Plan

Season length at mt snow and hunter have been significantly shortened, you now have to pay for majority of parking spots at mt snow, snowmaking has been reduced (was pretty non existent in NH last year). Hunter... maybe. Mount Snow - not really. I mean they state historically that they want to try ...

Re: VT state troopers investigated for allegedly creating fake COVID vaccine cards

I don't think it's that simple. Vaccination affords you greater protection against different strains than simply getting Covid and recovering. Medical professionals are still recommending you get vaccinated even if you've had covid. Fake vaccination cards, in my opinion, are one of the most despica...

Re: VT state troopers investigated for allegedly creating fake COVID vaccine cards

Just curious if anyone knows if the troopers in question had COVID in the past and recovered from it? Antibodies can be acquired in multiple ways, some just come with pieces of paper to document the specific dates that you got them, such as I have. Others have them, even though they may never have b...

Re: What's the latest rumor on the Brewfest this year?

Who the gvdl cares? On your mark, get set, drink! Overpriced, same old same old beers and obnoxious drunks. What's not to like? See you at the checkpoint. :Toast Some truth to this... although brew fests can be fun with the right company. Agree! I'd much rather attend a brewfest with friends who wa...

Re: Rhode Island Covid Rules?

Yup, it's wide open in RI right now. And last weekend, seemed to be a roughly 50/50 ratio of masks on/maskless in both Newport and Providence when my family did some helping out of the RI economy while avoiding the UGLY weather. If you want to wear one, and the business isn't requesting you do, no b...

Re: Mount Snow implementing parking fees

Premium parking for a daily fee will be available each day in Lot A and Upper Carinthia. On weekends and holidays, Lot B, Lot C, Sundance, and Lower Carinthia will also be paid parking. Ugh. Even midweek there's paid parking. Honestly in the midweek paid lot at the main base area, there's about as ...

Re: The Smallest Ski Areas In The US

The smallest one listed, Four Seasons, is where I made my first turns ever back in December of '79 that started my love affair with skiing! Back then it was known as 90 acres. Caber rental boots, blue Elan rental skis with spademan plate bindings and safety straps. Even 40+ years later I vividly rem...

Re: Epic pass prices drop 20%

I don't disagree, however, did you notice how quiet the resort was when Ikon was on blackout dates? It was pure bliss as peak periods seemed less busy than usual. Yes! I didn't really put two and two together to realize those were Ikon blackout days, but it makes sense now. How much of that was les...

Re: OT: Covid Vaccinations

Got my 1st dose as a level 1A healthcare provider in CT back on December 28th and my 2nd dose on January 27th. Was lucky enough that my local hospital which is basically across the street from my office had extra doses back them because about 30% of their employees that they were allotted vaccinatio...
