I was young when Watergate happened, and most of my impression of Nixon was his caricature face, the unbelievably lame final walk on the White house lawn flashing double victory signs at the peak of his disgrace. He made some terribly bad decisions, but he seems to have aged well. He, along with Kis...

Reminds me of when Kraft started negotiating with the CT governor to bring the Patriots to CT. Fancy big stadiums were designed on cocktail napkins, financing was offered, news stations carried speculation. It reached a hot pitch. Boom, MA agreed to build a new stadium.

This drawing also shows the bridge being removed from The Grand, greatly increasing the walk. It doesn't show a relocated Ramshead lift. There is no accent on the value of slopeside condos, it's slopeside promenade. Strikes me as designed by someone at a desk, not someone who wants a ski village. Yo...

Did you ski all 3 days with freshly waxed skis? If so, you don't know how much worse it would have been with no wax. That aside, fresh wax every day is better. There are also some field applied liquid wax products that are designed for warm snow, they last only a few runs. There is no miracle soluti...

12:50. The words of moose, and many others echoed through my brain. Totality is so close, i should probably go for it. Could leave right now and be to Sugarbush or at least Warren where there's a small window, but at least full totality. Last thing I want is to be on 100N in north Rochester before ...

We have a few friends coming in and are going to drive the 40+ miles to get to totality. It's not like this comes along all that often, and this one is literally in our backyard. From what I've seen the difference between 98.7 and 100% is like, well, ... night and day. Maybe night and dusk. Would yo...

If climate change continues along its current path, there's a fair chance making snow down to Skyship base becomes untenable in the not-too-distant future. If you're a ski area owner staring that problem in the face, would you throw money at the infrastructure most likely to be affected? Do you eve...

Yes. The other side:

In some respects, I feel like we are becoming our grandparents or parents that groaned about how gas was 25 cents a gallon when they were going on dates in high school. Everything has gone up. A lot. There's still post COVID shortages in some materials. That huge porch is a big item. So is the dual ...

While $175/ft strikes me as lower end of the scale, 1MM for 2,100 feet does sound luxurious. That's $476/ft and you already own the land. Since the home was described as "designed" that likely invalidates all the usual averages. Does it have a long driveway, lots of glass, complicated floo...

NOAA (NAM based) at 3,600' usually exaggerates the wind, but even still. This will blow the snow into Lake Champlain. Wednesday Night Snow. Low around 22. Strong and damaging winds, with an east wind 75 to 80 mph decreasing to 70 to 75 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 95 mph. Chance o...

If the new Snow Beach is perfectly flat, it will still be a ski rack speckled, toddler strewn, opposing traffic filled schlep from Snowshed quad to Ramshead (4,...6,...8?).

An early morning peak to creek proved the naysayers wrong; still good coverage to the bottom. Bar looked inviting, too. Not much time left for a visit though. Accent on early morning. The hairpin turn and environs was a snirtfest later on. Liftline maze and approaches is all mud. Very good coverage...
