Apparently it’s on little gap right below midway according to one of the groomers...I’d rather it be near Rays Grill on skis..that would be badass!!

I don’t think it’s about the money..I think it’s about the experience.

Root just bring yourself. Ok we’re down to $15 a person if Shadows is down.

Enjorales can bring more chairs and his grill.

$130 a night wow..I suppose if I can get Salty, Nastar Glenn, Matt Edge, Indiggio and JFDan to share it will only be about $20 each. We can sleep in shifts like they do on submarines. I hope they add a second chair to the porch.

Looks like it’s on the middle of widowmaker. That’s pretty close to the bar.

With the new condos not getting approval at least there’s somewhere to stay.

That’s badass. I wonder what the cost is?? Any PASRs wanna share a tent with me. I’d hotbox that shit.

Is coming soon coming in '18 / '19? Someone on their Facebook page said it will be open but with no snowmaking. They need to put a couple portable snowmaking cannons on that run.

I’m excited to ski the new trail at Blue..it’s called Coming Soon!!!

I like that you just about only post at midnight.

RideDE keeps asking me questions. Sorry for the threadjack. If not for death I wouldn’t have money to ski.

You guessed right...although the markup goes to pay commissions, payroll, taxes, insurance, truck expenses and building expenses...what’s left after that is profit. Like any business economies of scale comes into play. If we purchase 30 pieces of granite annually from a particular supplier we might receive a 15% discount but if we purchase 500 pieces of granite annually our discount could be as high as 40%. Most of the people who do work for us are independent contractors. We have two artists who do ethings for us, one does hand ethings with a diamond tipped dremmel tool and one does laser etchings. We have three guys who do in cemetery inscription for us..inscribing information on existing memorial stones. One in New Jersey, one that does philly and the Lehigh valley and one who does areas west of us. Most of the cemeteries do their own foundations but if they don’t our delivery guy does them and we profit off that although we give him extra money on them. We also sometimes assist funeral homes with putting bodies in mausoleums as we have experience with that. We are also asked on a weekly basis to clean memorial stones and although we have power washing equipment, we are too busy with deliveries to clean memorial stones and the amount of money we get from cleanings isn’t worth driving an hour to a cemetery. I typically recommend using a scrub brush, mild dish soap and warm water for cleanings.

About $3500 in gray or pink. More in black, Red, blue, green and Mahagany. Flat markers start at $950. It’s rare to have a month without at least a few memorial stones in the $7-8k+ range. We quoted on one today that retails for over $13k but it’s for 8 people.

Yeah I get a kick out of the preneed customers. On nice sunny days you have older married couples who stop in and say,”we’re planning on dying one day”. They don’t want to leave the burden to their kids. They plan everything. We did a tombstone not long ago that had a beer mug and a bingo card on it..way steezier than rosary beads and doves.

No I’m not a funeral director..only tombstones 85% granite, 10% bronze and the rest marble. The majority of our business is through funeral homes though. Right now the death rate is low and the cremation rate is high so funeral homes are happy to sell our memorial stones to help make up for lost revenue. I’ve trained 4 new dealers so far this year and walk in business has been brisk. Monday I sold six tombstones..two to one family.

She can...it’s just anytime she’s off the office would have to be closed and there are a few things I do that she doesn’t do like write checks, train funeral directors and I’m so much better at selling than her. That was my sister and bro in laws daycare cost when both kids were in day car. Their mortgage is $4k a month. NMSki I don’t know if you could be a single guy..you need to have people around to cropdust.

On topic I’m glad it’s August!!!!

I draw a bi weekly paycheck...take a year end bonus along with other employees and then in January me and my dad split the profits for the year. My dad doesn’t want to be involved in the business much longer, as of now he only works on mausoleums and community projects and is up 2-3 days a month. I was trying to figure out how I get to $3k and totally forgot about weed..that shit adds up as well. Anyway the goal is to save as much as I can in my 40s and sell the business at age 50 and retire...also spend some winters out west before then...
-
Patr I don’t know I feel like that’s not that much. I’ve had 2k months before when I don’t go out much. That doesn’t count car and cell phone expenses that the company pays for. Business is booming...I’ve been in charge almost 4 years and this year we are up a solid 15% the first 7 months of the year...things really haven’t been slow since right around the last presidential election. Today I only spent $16

Hote,l food, bars, uber..during ski season I drop several thousand on ski trips and always miscellaneous stuff like haircuts, mother’s and Father’s Day gifts, bday presents, wedding gifts, Xmas presents, dentist.....on and on.

I sold satellite dishes perhaps 10-15 hours a week. My rent was only $250 a month back then and maybe $40 a month for utilities. It wasn’t like now where I spend $3,000 every month.
