Salesmanny, this is not directed to you - just using your comment . . . but, could someone please explain to me what "wealthier and more elite" means here . . . we live in New England - New Englanders - rich or poor, are the tightest people in the country - have you ever looked at how our "wealthier and more elite" dress when not working - those Westerners(sp) need to learn that true yankees (those in New England) are cheap . . .
Edit: My bad, I guess they want New Yorkers

I have family outside of Boston, they now live in Newton, MA...trust me there is nothing cheap about their clothing. Their friends are very similar...it is sick..I could live for a few years on what my Aunt spends on clothing in probably 6 months.

What do they know anyway, they root for the Roidsux.

Guess I was referring to the old timers . . . holes in elbow sleeves and the like!! You're correct, today's kids seem to have all the new stuff - inlcuding technology . . . I failed at trying to make a joke!!!!

So they are the type of people that Powdr wants at Killington - those that spend much.

There aren't many people in Newton, MA who can trace their roots back to the Mayflower.

The traditional frugal New England Yankee lives in a rural place and has been there for many generations. Newton is a Boston inner suburb. Like most affluent inner suburbs, very few of the residents were born there. They have the anywhere-USA consumer culture. No different from, say, lower Fairfield County. You don't see many frugal Yankees there, either. Northern New England, western Mass, and the more rural parts of Connecticut are stuffed full of them. For the most part, their wealth is in the land they've owned for many generations. Few have big city 6 figure office jobs. The smarter and more motivated ones are the local professionals or own the local businesses.

Mrs G was commenting about 'frugal Yankees'. Appropriate for somebody who lives on the Connecticut River in Massachusetts. It doesn't make any sense to use somebody from Newton as a counter-example. Thus my Mayflower line.

I can trace back to the Mayflower Moving Company.

It was one of my summer jobs in college, we moved quite a few people.

The advance tickets for my ski club just came out. Okemo is $54, Sugarbush is $53, Mt Snow is $50, Stratton is $49. (You must join a club, and the deadline is October 7th to purchase tickets) Ascutney at $37 and Magic at $35 round out the Vermont offerings.

The $50 K50 is lower than some ski club rates, but the ski club tickets have no blackout dates like the K50 has. It will be interesting to see what if any ski club program Killington does this year.

The K50 is a good deal (even with some black out dates) when compared to the coming season's CSC bulk ticket prices. The bulk ticket prices for Ascutney and Magic seem really high when the lack of snow making at each mountain is considered.

Thanks for posting the CSC prices, my club hasn't shared this news yet.
