That was my impression as well. Maybe city folk thought it was a trash barrel and not a sand barrel and threw trash in that was then dug out.
looks very nice...didn't make it over as planned last week but hope to check it out soon.Quote:

Exactly. A raccoon or skunk dug it out and had a late night snack. Easy enough clean up but made me realize that I’ve got a pretty good case of the August’s with our tourist visitors. First world problem living in a National Park.Quote:

According to a friend that works for Stratton (Alterra-owned) the areas get mo money from the corporate overlords if they stay open longer. Bodes well for spring skiing at the Beast.
Honestly not keen on an Alterra takeover even though unlimited K might be nice. Already unbearable after 9:30 on Saturdays, with talk on KZone that the bush would be a good Saturday escape from the K Krowds:rolleyes:. Fri, Sun, Mon are busy like non holiday Saturdays fifteen years ago as well.
Local investors buy Killington.

Staying on IKON at least for this season. Pretty cool news. How is Kzone reacting?
The Beast under independent ownership - crazy!
Phil is a big USST donor. Loves skiing.
Hopefully he's a good MP for the mountain.
Heard rumors they're going to upgrade 2-3 lifts, lodges, and base area.
Yep...from Stuart Winchester:Quote:

See this at Stratton as well. Those deadbeats need to get back into their offices and quit "working" from home.Quote:

Say more about Burke’s future?Quote:

More on the Kmart sale from the local paper:

Some interesting background, including that the call went to Gross first and he put the group together, as well as mention of future plans (new Bear Mtn Lodge among others).
Not that I'm into fancy lodges (I ski at Magic FFS) but that lodge at Bear is a dumpQuote:

Putting this hear as not something to ship. I have an older Packasport box for sale for $225. Holds long skis. Most similar to this one. Message if you want more details.
