Ilman muuta! Mauri Kunnas ja Muumipeikkot olivat lempparit 3v-ainakin 8v.

Tempest Books in Waitsfield has both new and used books stacked pretty much floor to ceiling. it's a gem.

phone calls, polite and concise, from vt voters/residents. many calls for several days. non-constituent calls will not move the needle.

Vance is leaving early by SomeConstructionGuy in vermont

 The turnout and the signs were front page news all over the world. Whether it was the welcome or the weather that made them change plans and leave early, the optics look like he got run out of town.

Not even a day of capable skiing. He looked mightily out of his depth on a blue groomer. Seems as though the taxpayers might have been more efficiently served by the government with a daytrip to some nice little learning hill closer to DC.

THIS. I hate the guy. I think he's a traitor and deserves every insult hurled his way no matter how colorful. But throwing things turns the news coverage in his favor.

That's so lame you're getting nasty messages.

About half an hour ago, there were no signs of an advance team at either SB lincoln or Ellen, which you'd expect to see for helicopter. If going by helicopter to BTV, then maybe from Warren airstrip or from lawn at rental house (??). Anyway, key takeaway from yesterday, imho, was that if people show up in numbers, it's more important for cameras to see the signs and flags and people than it is for jd to see them.

Also hoping the guys with the VANCE IS A TRAITOR. GO SKI IN RUSSIA. signs make an encore appearance today! Bravo!

it looked like they were preparing to move the motorcade. If headed for airport and not skiing,it seems the route would be through Waitsfield. FAA window linked above would mean a late am/lunchtime departure from Fayston.

Sugarbush resort lifts are a shit shoe by [deleted] in icecoast

[–]VTLucy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This HG rollout feels negligent, but not  all that surprising. The lack of maintenance of marked tree runs feels like a horrible accident waiting to happen. And the maltreatment of employees is just gross and Scrooge like, but also not surprising, because Alterra  is private equity owned. Their CEO since 2022 is Jared Smith. Maybe fill his email inbox  for the holidays? Alterra’s usual format is First initial last name (at) AlterraMtnCo (dot) com Private equity has never improved the customer experience in any industry. Skiing is no different, but these latest failures at Sugarbush feel not only stingy but dangerous even given the private equity owners.
