Opening Day?

It very clearly says there are two possible conditions for a curtailable period and the price of electricity only has to do with one.

There is another proposal to bring Hydro Quebec power down into New England which so far seems to be favorable using existing transmission corridors and buring where there are non in NH. We are too dependant on natural gas generation with limited pipeline capacity, let alone rising demand. This should help stabilize or lower rates and will be a good source of base load power. Wind and solar are intermitten power.

Big Bob, you got your sleds ready to roll yet?

Can somebody wipe off the NR cam please? grumble, grumble...

Demand doesn’t have to be up, capacity could be down, perhaps due to power station or distribution problems.

The whole electric power thing seems pretty shady. They sell you “electrons” which you can’t even see, and then they make you give ‘em back. If you don’t, you can’t have any more.

If you can buy electricity from any one of multiple suppliers, how can you tell if the electrons you purchased are the same ones that show up at your meter?

It may be racist to say this, but I think all electrons look the same. Kind of like identical twins. Probably have different personalities, though. The ones that zap me when I stick a finger in a light socket are definitely jerks.

Ask for ID.

[Mister Moose]

Electrons have a contract clause whereby they can subcontract other electrons to do the work.

Need to be registered and change the oil on the newest one. To busy fixing yellow iron on weekends, but the time will come.

North Ridge lift is spinning right now on the webcam, along with snowmaking....

the news everyone's been waiting for ... FRIDAY!!!

Hooray! The Beast will officially be kicking off the 2023-24 winter season Friday, November 3 at 10:00 a.m. with a passholder appreciation day! After opening day, the K-1 Express Gondola will spin from 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. (last ride up at 3:00 p.m.) and North Ridge Quad will spin from 9:00 a.m. - 3:45 p.m. every day. We’ll use the Peak Walkway to get to and from the North Ridge Area for skiing and snowboarding – yes walking is required. All skiers and riders will download the K-1 Gondola at the end of the day.  Skiing and snowboarding will be on advanced terrain only, with a Woodward Mountain Park in the North Ridge area on Reason.

I guess they're content on losing to MSS, after losing to Sunday River last year. I'm glad we finally have an announcement though.

Wait !!! They didn't say "Howdy Beast Fans" (FYI - Total disclaimer - I DO NOT ENDORSE THE USE OF SUCH IDIOTIC LANGUAGE).
I don't recognize the marketing bot. It surely must be fake news . . .

They already lost to Ski Ward this year.

Mine come from Direct Energy at $0.12 and I can give a rats ass if they come from one of their other suppliers, as long as the lights are on!
