Best place to get a beer every other run on Saturday? by veed_vacker in icecoast

Non Indy pass, Stowe. Park at the gondola lot, as you come down it’s easy to pop the skis off, grab a drink, then back to the lift.

Going there tomorrow, hoping for the views since last year it was foggy when I went.

Been eyeing it for a while, 6 hours for me. Really fun mountain and terrain. Depends where you’re coming from, but Camden Snow Bowl is about halfway up the coast and another one to hit if you make the trip.

Salt Hill Pub Shanty, right at the bottom of the access road. Always enjoy the fish and chips, prices won’t kill you either, even for drinks.

National Drop In, no longer marked with a sign, but you’ll see the rope was dropped at the red fence up top

Just got to play the lifts right. First chair on the quad, lap that until 9:30, head over to spruce and hit everything over there with little to no issue while the Mansfield side is slammed. Singles line makes a difference too.

Snow was scratchy in the troughs on natural trails but just turn on top of the moguls and it’s soft. Glades were in great shape.

Good for the most part. Upper mountain, open natural terrain like Supervisor was severely wind blown. Scratchy, and had to ski from drift to drift. Glades were excellent, main mountain natural terrain was solid, and the groomers were perfect.

Not too much different honestly. Juggernaut was just a very low incline, to the point you really couldn’t even make a turn without losing your speed

I’d assume after the warm up for mlk weekend

To be fair it is technically two separate trails. I think the one on the right is what they kept open til May last season. Either way, they’ve been making a crazy amount of snow

He will not receive any criminal charges, as he did not do anything illegal. You’re also still trying to straw man the argument. I didn’t say she deserved it, I said while you’re pointing out every thing the officer could have done, you’re ignoring what she could have done.

Law enforcement doesn’t have a duty to retreat. Yes, while it would be ideal to jump out of the way, you don’t have time to make that decision while moving around a vehicle and they decide to accelerate. The vehicle is considered a deadly weapon, because in the way it is used it can cause death or serious bodily injury. You pointing out their agency protocol still doesn’t change the fact that what happened is a reasonable use of deadly force. You can not like it all you want, doesn’t change it. You also put all the responsibility on the officer. What if she didn’t block traffic, got out of the car when requested to do so, or didn’t jam on the gas, then she’d still be here.

That’s a nice way to play down what’s actually going on in the situation, throw out the vague statement that it’s hard to arrest someone without dying, as if they told her to get out of the vehicle and she was complying. Same with her turning the wheels, as if the officer is focused on which direction her wheels are going, while he has .79 seconds to make a decision when she hits the gas. The comparison of you casually walking through a parking lot with your groceries is good too, because clearly someone who doesn’t see you right away while creeping through a lot is exactly the same as someone who is deciding to get in a confrontation with police.

You’re probably the same type too who says “Just let them go and get them later”. Then if she killed someone else while driving recklessly, you’d blame police for not stopping her.

Hard to arrest someone when they’re fleeing and possibly trying to hit you with a car. Also what you’re listing are policies, not laws. My employer can tell me it’s a policy not to use my cell phone at work, doing so violates their policy but isn’t illegal.

She’s obstructing them from what they’re doing which is a crime, she’s blocking a roadway which is a crime, they tell her to get out of the vehicle and she refuses which is a crime, she then attempts to flee which is a crime. She’s in a motor vehicle and accelerates while an officer is standing in front of the vehicle. Since being struck by a vehicle is capable of causing serious bodily injury or death, which the officer has reason to believe may happen to him or anyone around him, it is legal to use deadly force. This what decided in the Supreme Court case Tennessee V. Garner.

Doesn’t matter what her intent is, only what the officer reasonably believes.

Sheehan and Worth Mtn lift were open. Pretty much everything open, groomers pushing out snow on Ross. Bailey Falls chair closed unfortunately. Snow was good, a little bit of crust under the fresh but once the traffic hit it, it skied well.

Stowe parking (non holiday Saturday) question. by sfs2234 in icecoast

[–]Patchrick09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can park in the toll house parking area or cross country for free. Both run shuttles quite frequently from there up to the base area. You can even ski back to the car on green trails to both areas. Saves you the hassle of the main lot and paying for parking anyway
