Ohio and West Virginia but maybe snow Thursday morning!!!

Starting when I was in 11th grade 1995-96 ski season I wore an Avocet watch that kept track of vert skied and runs based on Barometric pressure. It was pretty accurate within 5% perhaps. That season I skied about 2 million vertical feet in 48 days and the following 2.6 million in 66 seasons. Back in those days three were rarely lines for the quad( the six pack was a double) and a normal weekend day for me was 730-5 with a lunch break...Indiggio types of days. In college I stopped tracking vert then did again about 11 years ago for two seasons. Anyway figures for the six pack are if you are only skiing razors and challenge fast and lift doesn't stop 8 runs an hour..a variety of runs and skiing onto lift every run 7 runs an hour. Normal uncrowded skiing 6 runs an hour. Second hour on a weekend or weekday afternoon with some short lines figure five runs an hour.

Yeah cause it was strictly about getting fucked up. Now I just like a solid buzz.

There's no way it won't be good...it's either gonna be sunny or snowing. how many days are you skiing in Utah MamaSkeez?

Where are you guys staying??

I've actually never skied through the Burma park. I'm saving it for the right day

Never had it but when I was like 22 the local bar had 50 cent drafts at happy hour.

At the frat parties we had mileaukees best and Genesee but at house parties often long trail, magic hat, shed mountain ale or at worst like labatt blue. If I would have smoked weed in high school I would have experienced ATown brown but didn't start till college and it was only good shit up there. When I lived off campus senior year this crackhead Bobby who lived in my building would smoke mersh which was short for commercial and similar to mids as it had some seeds... Freshman year of college I used to think rolling rock was good beer cause it came in a green bottle.

Wow I thought it was more like a car or home loan where payments are the same every month. I'm totally unfamiliar with student debt. I know that my former roommate owed like $60,000 and he received a partial scholarship.

$20k wow that's not bad for kutztown way way way less than the average.

I know some of the new Tripoli horse farm people. One girl I know grew up in a 7 bedroom house up there and has a horse. I'm friends with the guy who owns AutoApproved on the east side of Allentown and he's had people driving across the state for a deal. Do they even have to prove income when applying for financing? I've just stated a number before with no proof at all yet when I applied for my apartment I needed to bring a recent paystub. I hear you on the new car thing. I know fairly wealthy people who refuse to buy new cars due to depreciation. Thanks zonked and glad my input on average starting salaries is still relevant. Making $35-$40k is fine for someone in their 20s. Its if they owe $100,000 in student loans where shit can get rough

Guess you won't want to try my strawberry cough this weekend root. Just picked it up yesterday.

Must be cold if JFDan is wearing the orange hood.

Root did you delete my comment?? Strike two.

Thanks shadows. Yeah I guess those numbers seem decent for people with a college degree but if you have kids double those numbers unless the spouse is also bringing in good $$$$. I think a major factor is being a minimilist. Aside from ski stuff I really don't buy anything, I don't have cable, I barely have any furniture, I wear the same purple polo shirt for 4 years...wearing it today...then you have more money for fun stuff. If somebody makes over $60k they prob aren't buying a used car in the boondocks. I believe the average salary around here is about $35,000 a year and that's not starting that includes all people from fast food workers to doctors. Average for a household is around $55,000.

Nice reports. I kept all reports for Jackson hole in the same thread cause my goal was 5,000 views in the thread...snowbird tomorrow for the big powder day? How early do you get in line for the Tram?? Report says 3" and looks deeper!!!!

I don't remember you explaining anything just that you'd commute to philly for $60,000 a year. I think it depends on a variety of factors..whether you have kids, what your living expenses are like and if you're in debt. I do know what when I graduated from college in 2001 most starting salaries for business school undergrads were around $35-40k a year..I actually made $38k at Merrill lynch and today starting salaries aren't much higher. First year I worked for my dad I made $22,000 and still went to Jackson hole that year but only for five days. To make 5 times my age we'd have to match our best year which I think was 2008..so I make somewhere between $60,000 and $185,000.

The guys at the CioccaSubaru dealership make at least that but they are super high volume. Anyway $60,000 a year would be about 1600-1700 per paycheck every two weeks if you didn't have any write offs or deductions. My office manager makes over $60,000 a year..probably closer to $65k with bonus but she's a broke single mom putting two kids through college.

I still don't get where that $60,000 number comes in. $60,000 a year is barely middle class. After taxes that's like $40,000 a year.

Hunter is the best ski area in the Catskills but not the best one for intermediates. Belleayre only has two or three blues from the top.

Nice although this should be in the Utah thread :-)

Boom...I need to close the office if it snows over 2"

It's gonna rain in Vermont Wednesday morning but doesn't look like much rain. Just be hopeful of snowmaking and natural snow after the thaw freeze. I don't think it's worthy of cancelling it's just gonna put the woods out of play most likely.
