49-50 or “failed 50-49”… six of one and a half dozen of another. ;)

Ah yes, that pesky three fifths for cloture. I was (obviously) thinking simple majority.

Re: saturday 2/3 report

Great Platty day! IMG_7099.jpg IMG_7102.jpg IMG_7110.jpg Cloudy to start, but sun quickly broke through. While they sold out and were turning people away, the longest I waited in a lift line was 5 minutes and never did I fear for my life on the trails. I even got to spin a few laps with buckethead! ...

Re: Access to PUBLIC LAND is now a violation?!

If you go over to that little woods trail on skier's right of killink, you can just veer off to the right and wind up going down to Brewers, right? I haven't looked over there, but I'm pretty sure there's no ropes or signs there. If I had to guess, that's where I think people veer off by mistake. C...

Re: Wednesday - 1/24/24 More Lift Issues

Please someone correct my math, but the way I calculate it, with 22 lifts, if one is replaced every 3rd year, they will maintain a 66 year old lift age average. It would take a lift replacement every other year to eventually get to a 44 year average lift lifespan. Overhauling lifts complicates the ...
