I plan on lining the walls of the property with boiling turkey fryers to keep any raiding inlaws at bay.

I'm working my @ss off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a f*** about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?

I'm hoping that that the neighborhood in Baltimore that goes whole hog with decorations does it this year. Xmas Eve and night is surprisingly uncrowded.

I still can't believe this got almost no traction in the news.

I know I'm playing catchup here, but is there some new 2020 thing regarding putting up Christmas decorations?

I'll take a decorated private hot tub please.

I'm definitely going to have to hit up JayPeak this winter. I hope I don't get any crap for rolling up with out of state plates though. Do I need a reservation for parking? If I don't do it this winter, I'm going to be at least one year older when I do.

I can rent you some green plates.
11-10-2020, 12:41 PM
BmillsSkier

Is the shuttle bus still available?

That could get you the green plates you need and lodging.

I see a business opportunity brewing. Park the bus in Hoosick on Friday night, pick up customers and ...

The Pandemic Express.

I need to find something similar out west. Maybe that caboose that Dex and TJ lived in is available.

Ah, figured it had something to do with the election and meme-ery.

I bet she's got a spare hot tub or two floating around out west that she could point me to.

To this day, and mind you, this is one of my favorite movies, I never understood why some old dude-bro waddles into a bar to grab a cup of coffee. Though it does remind me that I need to watch that classic now that ski season is right around the corner.

I assumed he was there to meet Steve too.

Steve probably gave him a different name though.

What made me bring up Jay was listening to this podcast/interview with the general manager yesterday while working out : https://castbox.fm/vb/317475722

I've yet to ski there. It's just too far, with too much good skiing in between. If I have to spend a long day travelling, I'll fly.

I got the 50% Canadian market from the man's mouth. I always heard it was heavily skied by Canucks. But, another factor that would make it nice for this season is that it's not really being run as a normal business this year. It's a big hotel/conference/water park/ all season resort with really good skiing, and it's very much on the market, in receivership after the bankruptcy/SEC takeover. They really want to sell it and let somebody else run it, because they're not in the ski resort biz. The lawyers, I mean. The staff is just hoping for a new boss who keeps them on. But, anyway, they may not feel the restraints on spending that some other resort may be hit with, especially after losing last March. No, they're not going to party with hookers and blow, but you may find a decent lift and grooming situation. They also have a shit ton of new beds at the base that maybe will go cheap, especially the Canuck owned condos.

Btw, they are going to run the tram, but, no singles. And not on weekdays.
You can see that Benny has been thinking. I ain't flying nowhere.

Just fib and say you're coming from your condo at Killington you've stayed at for a month.

In a sense, that place is really screwed , because the value of hotel/resort properties has cratered. Ask the Trump's about that.So, get it while the place is still alive. Could wind up like Grossingers in the Catskills.

Hey, if you spent every day inspecting wax rings in houses of the unmasked and outwardly hostile homeowners of the PNW you'd be a bit testy too.

Is Grandpa Grunts still around ?

I know Gramps died but he used to make us the most kick ass breakfast.

I just priced a flight to Denver in January and it was $102 round trip. As for the hassle, there's not much right now. Getting through airports is a breeze. Air travel is still down almost 70% from where it was last year.

I was going to fly on miles (cause the Delta AmEx has been about useless thus year), but for the two of us flying from ATL to DEN on Delta, free bags/skis, was a whopping $130 round trip. Fully refundable too.

Why not get placeholder tickets?

If I were you I'd look at staying in Frisco, too. That puts you sort of equidistant from Breck, Keystone and Copper.

Different strokes for different folks, of course. Point is it a nice central location and I think it delivers pretty well on the non-skiing amenities, too.

And Loveland is not far, either. Never regretted spending a few seasons in Frisco. Hardly ever went to Breck.

Does DL refund if you don't fly or just issue a voucher? UA only gives you a voucher. I'm sitting on about a grand in UA vouchers right now.

That Pandemic Express at Jay Peak is sounding better and better all the time. I bet it's even got a bitchin' stereo system too.

Fully refundable to the card. It's my Delta AmEx, but I still don't think that matters as my buddy got the same deal and he didn't mention that he used one. 48 hours prior though and then I think if it's within 48 but less than 24 you pay a nominal change fee.

I'd go Pandemic Express just to sample some of Timber's Branch Covidian margarita service.

Saw that, thanks. That 18+% positivity rate is very high; crazy that here in a city of 6MM we're sitting at 5.2% right now.

Not scheduled to go till mid February so hopefully a lot can change between now and then (in a good way).

Benny, that’s the “Top Gun of the Slopes” one of the greatest stories ever told. Two guys from Mt Brighton Michigan ditch their mediocre lives in Detroit in search of love, fame and the Powder 8’s Championship.

I’m talking about a little place where the water flows like wine, where the women flock like the salmon of Capistrano.

I’m talking about Aspen Extreme

MTM posted that last night. That is a crazy high positivity rate. (ATL is currently just above 5% for reference)

Good thing I’m thinking about going in late February and not for Thanksgiving.
