Re: Epic Passes for 2023-2024

For us old guys the Epic Northeast midweek senior pass is a steal at $315.

Re: Brighton/Solitude

We've stayed at the Inn at Solitude. Couldn't be more convenient. And you can connect to Brighton via the trails, so easy to do both from the Inn. Kind of quiet if you're looking for night life. They get buried big time often.

Re: Something's going on at Saddleback

Haven't skied there in a while, last time the year before they closed. We used to go up there when our kids were little because it wasn't crowded during school vacations. It's a bitch to get to. If it were closer, people would rave about it. Kind of like Magic only on a much bigger scale. Its major ...

Re: 3.31.20 Angus Snow Report

We're on our 5th golden. My wife looked online for about a year and a half before finding our current boy. Came from Starbright Rescue in Georgia. Almost impossible to find rescue goldens. We really lucked out.

Re: Vail buying Peaks

Could some Eastern resorts now on the Ikon pass become desirable to Alterra to compete with Vail?

With Saddleback open, Rangeley might be one of the best 4 season areas in the East.

Re: Sunday River lodging

Depends on what the conditions will be and how much you want to pay. If the Summit has ski in/out, that's a good choice. Jordan is nice but too far out. Use VRBO/Home Away/Air bnb if you want a condo or house. Lots of motel options in Bethel. If you want to bring your dog, I highly recommend Paws In...

Re: Sucker buys crappy Maine ski resorts

HS, I'm impressed that you read the Washington Post. Hopefully you check out all its editorials and op-eds, too. As a Sunday River skier, I can tell you that most people there and at the Loaf are really happy with the sale. It eliminates one layer with hands in the till. People expect that Boyne wil...

Re: Thoughts after visiting Sunday River

Lunch at North Peak Lodge yesterday, $16 for a loaded Bloody Mary and $9.75 for a Pilsner draft beer $$$$$$$. Started out with 7 lifts running, by around 2 pm only 3 lifts running due to wind. It was warm and sunny at the bottom and mid mountain-really nice out. Once you got some elevation and expo...

Re: Car camping around K

Is that camp on Sunday River Rd. heading out toward Frenchman's Hole? We mountain biked out that way about a month ago. My wife stopped and looked in the windows at a camp. May have been that one. It's between the letter "S" swim area and Frenchman's Hole. It's directly across from the ol...

Re: What book are you currently reading?

Just finished The Upstarts. It tells the story of how Uber and Airbnb got started and developed into the billion dollar entities that they are today. Fascinating and sheds light on current issues with both.

Re: Irma

My son in Ft. Lauderdale is finishing boarding up his house and heading out later today with anything of value that he can fit in his car plus his dog. From what I've seen thus far, there's a good chance he may not have a house to go back to. He's about 2 miles from the ocean just west of Lauderdale...

Re: New Balsams ski resort bigger than K

Just checked Mapquest. 141 miles/2hours and 47 minutes from the center of Montreal. Maybe that will make the resort more viable. Especially if the exchange rate turns around for Canadians. We drive further than that to get to K. I've been up there in the past as I was a fraternity brother of one of ...
