Let us know if they build anything like above.
A new lift matters to many .. the rest, not so much.

Does the State of VT have an energy code like NH does?

Re: Bear Mountain Renovation
NH doesn't want you spending all your money on heat. They want you to buy scratch tickets and booze on the interstate highways. You also need money to register your sleds and ATV's and buy hunting and fishing licenses. It is in your best interest I can assure you!daytripper wrote:Live free or die?Big Bob wrote:killyfan wrote:Yes, I do know the difference between "architectural plans" and "ideas."

Approve of an energy code? Or approve of the spending on scratch tickets, booze, sleds, ATV's, animal murdering licenses, etc...?Big Bob wrote:NH doesn't want you spending all your money on heat.

I'm confused - maybe I need another cup of coffee...

Re: Bear Mountain Renovation
I hope the Bear Lodge Renovation will include rest rooms on the level so that you don't have to do all those stairs in ski boots!

Re: Bear Mountain Renovation
Yes, they did. Upstairs on the front wall is a Verizon booster mounted above the windows. I can now carry a call down to Rt 4 without dropping it! Also, if your phone has WIFI capability , allow that to be used by going into settings.SkiDork wrote:at BMMC my Verizon was 4 bars. Did they do something?

Re: Bear Mountain Renovation
Waaait a minute... I get sh*t on for making fun of myself too? WTF? I truly did not understand Big Bob's paragraph - and was honestly a tad bit brain dead at that moment due to the cat waking us up at 2:30am with the "let's bring a live mouse into the bedroom" game, and just wanted him to clarify his position. So I poke fun at my own lack of brain power that morning and Yiddle still doesn't like it. Hmmm....yiddle on da fiddle wrote:Substitute "confused" for........painfully sanctimonious and annoying.

I agree that some pussy in the bedroom can affect sleep. Never realized that women can suffer from lack of blood flow to the big head also.killyfan wrote:Waaait a minute...
