I don't really care for cardio no matter what it is. I'll do about 15 minutes HIIT a few days a week, but 90% of my gym work is throwing weights around and stretching between sets. That I very much enjoy.

More parking for Stowe. Not what they've been looking for, but 150 new spots.

Stowe Mountain Resort reaches parking lot agreement after lengthy appeal - VTDigger
The deal will allow the resort to construct a 150-space paved parking lot in its Harlow Hill meadow.

Environmental Court is a thing.

Not to sound too cheesy, buy you need to open your mind to appreciate nordic skiing, if you have alpined all your life. Maybe remove the word skiing and think about it differently. If you like the gym (I don't) I can't imagine you couldn't make a place in your life for nordic. It's less about speed and g-forces and more about rythym. It's also a great way to get cardio without impact.
I feel pretty strongly that life will suck if my knees fail me. I know people in their 90s who still cross country ski. We are moving to 1900 feet (120 inches of snow on average) and we have 2 miles or nordic/mtb trail on our land. I'm imagining many days, I'll ski Gore in the morning, and in our woods after lunch.

Thats sounds wonderful and peaceful. . . . . and ( depending on prop.taxes - hoping its a farm). very inexpensive.
had thaat same set up for my original skin set - its all too heavy. Lighter makes quite a difference. Still, only a couple times a year at best - and Ammonusuc is one if not the favorite all time skin/ski.
As someone said up above, Utah - Mt Superior skin- damn near killed me.

It's not farm. We actually have two pieces of land, side by side. On the original piece (5 acres) we are building our house. The second piece is much larger and undeveloped, it borders the smaller property on two sides. We re-mortgaged our NJ house to buy it, we desperately wanted to avoid having neighbors so close.
Building a house is certainly going to raise our property tax, but we are selling our house in NJ (to pay for it) and we estimate that when done, out property taxes will be about half of what they are now. Not cheap, but much cheaper. (I will certainly get a lump in my throat when I open that first tax bill!)
No doubt nordic is cheaper. And we are about a mile from a trailhead into 120,000 of NY wilderness, and we will likely go back to our roots, exploring the backcountry, like we did before our daughter was born. We got into downhill because Gore has awesome affordable daycare. My wife said to me the other day "what have you done with that backcountry skier I married?"
The other thing is that will be cheaper is my annual driving total should go way down. In the last 12 months I drove 22,000 miles, a huge percentage of that is skiing. I think I can get it down to 10,000 including forays into VT.

Vermont seems to love to be the test stage for a lot of things doesn't it?

Like I said, what’s this piece of news got to do with Vail sucks?
If you want more people to see it, there’s no worse way than burying it in something totally unrelated. Much less a thread about “nothing has changed” and full of negativity!
What else do you expect? Something to change???
I would have been interested in the topic. But you won’t find me opening this thread much as I don’t hate Vail. So I won’t bother with the discussion. Get it?

The thread goes both ways, as do all of the others. If we can't have a conversation then don't call. Dan Ray out

What does Vail have to do with Vail? For me it's about which bear is where. For example black bears or brown. Some resorts have both. That's the Vail play.

And the last time I opened this thread was 10 days ago, even though I was on other threads almost daily.But here you are
The guy complained he didn’t get any response about the skinning nut. Of course he got no interest. He’d be lucky half of the forum participants look into THIS thread at all, while the rest of us check in once or twice a month!
I’m actually interested in the skinning nut’s story, but I’d be dammed if I have to wade through all the Vail hater crap in order to hunt down the few relevant posts.
