I’m so mad so I’m going to use
ALL CAPS. THAT’LL SHOW ‘EM I MEAN BUSINESS
Sigh. Not doin’ it. Hit the showers, all caps, I’m bringing out
BOLD FONT. WHEN YOU NEED THOSE PIXELS TO HIT HARD
Hmm. Still not enough to convey my ANGER. Time to haul out the big cat,
GINORMOUS FONT
YES! Smells like victory. Or breakfast. Not sure. None of that namby pamby normal font stuff for me.
How about underlined italics?
Italic font, or italics, is a style of typeface in which the text appears slanted, like this. While italics are mainly used to draw attention to certain words or passages, the font also plays an important role in differentiating the titles and names of things—such as novels, movies, and even spaceships—from other text.

I had no idea distinguishing spaceships from text was such a big problem. Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind the next time I read a novel or watch a rocket launch.

That was from Grammerly - I thought you'd get a kick out of the spaceship comment - had to make sure I wasn't plagiarizing from Wikipedia.

I was there this past Saturday and Sunday, quite a few lift stoppages on K1,Skyship2 and Superstar.
It was windy. They were loading 3 to a chair on SS for a while on Sunday because of problems at the top. But apparently it wasn’t a blizzard because, IDK, it’s trademarked by Dairy Queen? Weekends are worse anyway because of the increased out of town Jerry Factor, and finally, the regular rodents powering the lift have it off, and the weekend crew is a bunch of slackers. Lift ops has to regularly go up the ladder and give them what for to restart.

Not sure if I have been on a lift ride this year that didn't stop . .
Yeah, stoppages on weekends is 100% guaranteed! The best is the 6 pack. Stops at least 3 or 4 times each trip. The best is when someone drops the bubble on your knees with no warning!
Just wanted to add some bitching to this thread...

Curious - Did any of the Pico'ers know about the Summit chair wind hold in advance?
Also, what's wrong with the Needle's Eye chair? There was at least one day where they advertised they were going to be running it. That's another important lift for those that don't want to wait in a line to ride a germ box.
Just here is say that of course every Pico’er knows that the summit quad is always on wind hold on a powder day whether there actually is wind or not (this time there was). We actually have a trail through the woods that has never had an actual trail sign but is unofficially known as “summit’s closed”. It takes you from Fools gold onto the bottom of Birch glade so you can get a tiny itsy bit of powder there. Or you can even, sort of, crash through a little stand of woods and get to Pike for 100 yards above the normal crowd. It’s amazing how creative us Pico’ers have become during all our summitless powder days.
Those with Pico only passes do get a consolation prize of the “Summit guarantee”. The summit guarantee entitles a Pico ticket holder to a Killington day pass that day, no questions asked, if the summit quad is not open by about 11am. In fact, if you are paying full price for a day ticket on a powder day, it might be worth just buying a pico day ticket. Changes are nearly 100% you will be skiing the afternoon at Killington if you want, for the price of a Pico ticket.
For those that tough it out hoping for a late summit open, the summit guarantee can be a beautiful thing. Once in a while, after all the “summit guarantee” people leave for Killington, the summit quad occasionally, and miraculously does open. In those cases, it’s Shangrala.

Seriously curious why you would say that? I nicely just said Pico never opens the summit quad on a powder day. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of operations.
