And thats why I hate the news. They get something like this wrong. Can you imagine how much f*** up stuff they report when they're speculating?

with all this talk about buying the gold pass and saying its a ripoff, what does it have to do with early season skiing or ridign?

Here is my take on "Dro's" statement....If you bought a gold pass then you are most likely 2 ski only "k" on black out days...why limit your self 2 only 1 ski area?

I come from down in the valley
where mister when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
when she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of that valley down to where the fields were green

Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
baby
There is no reason
for you to hide
It's so hard for me
staying here all alone
When you could be
taking me for a ride.

And:

When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
When I can't hear the song for the singer
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone

I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own

Sweet, just four short hours in the car and I can be on the slopes...
Two sniffs, a snort, a fly, a turn and a grunt; and it was so simple like the jitterbug it plumb evaded me.
