Re: Pizza capital of the world

I live 5 minutes from Calabria's in Livingston. It's good but there a several places in NJ and a bunch more in NY/Brooklyn that are not on this list which deserve it more than Calabria's.

Drove down the NY Thruway earlier today from the Berkshires down to NJ. It was like a scene out of a post apocalyptic movie.

3 Americans in the top today. MS with a huge lead in the overall, #1 in slalom and GS. She is going to have quite the haul come the end of the season.

Re: Labor Issues at Resorts

Friend of mine with a time share in The Canyons was in Park City over Xmas week. Spoke to a patroller who told him the reason there wasn't more terrain open was the lack of patrollers and staff. Based on coverage, he said you'd think the place would be almost 100% open but it's not.

He spoke to one member of the ski patrol who had the usual complaints about Vail and having many of their benefits taken away...
