Whiteface - Lookout Mountain...estimated opening?

snoloco wrote

Bottom line is Lookout has to open and open soon.  I don't see how you could disagree with me there because you think Hoyt's is the best trail on the mountain.

Because he's an adult and doesn't expect everything to be perfect.

bottom line:  it's not mountain management's fault that resources are not K-Mart quality (pun intended).  So send your strongly worded letter to the top and stop harassing the people actually trying their best to overcome a chit ton.

I'd like to hear more about this whoremongering

There are some good reasons for getting married late in life... for me the discovery of Whoremongering was at the top of the list.  I did a lot of European traveling early in my career (circa Windows 98) The Red Light district in Amsterdam at that time was over the top.  The Czech Republic would be a close second.

I know... It's sounds sleezy, but truth be told, it's very professional over there.   I guess the more respectful term for the profession is Call Girl, Escort, or Hooker, but Escortmongering just doesn't role from the tongue in the same way.

To be honest, I wish I started my career as a ski bum, but I quickly sold my soul to Corporate America.  That said, the first 5 years of my career in Tech during the 90's were pretty sweet... at that time (before everything went to India) there were 4 high paying jobs for every 1 qualified programmer.  If you worked for a company that had international operations it was quite easy to get all expense paid (mongering not included) travel assignments.

It was fun for a time... I look back on it fondly.  Undoubtedly, some might call it risky, but without taking risks, I find life to be pretty boring.

What is sometimes a 2.5 mile narrow bump run is a far cry from being boring...

Prescription goggles are ridiculously expensive and with the cold temps that I often go out in, I think contacts would freeze to my eye.

Sno perfectly demonstrates why as a country we are totally F'ed in the future.  This generation wants their free shit and they want it now.  They put the capital E in entitlement.

When spending money on a pass, it's natural to expect that all the snowmaking terrain will open in a given year (except seasons like last year), and likely before February.  Skiing is anything but free.
