Colorado is still pretty good! We are finding homes in Colorado Springs in our former neighborhood for 430k 2700 sq ft nice quiet neighborhood.

Looked at 3 BR apartments as well and see places for over $1000 less that what we pay. In fact we found a 3300 ft house for 2500. 5 BR as well so Colorado is where we will go with in the year.

You are correct. $50 is about the bottom for a full day ticket. Whaleback or Bradford, even Jiminy has a lower mountain pass for $49. Not sure what type of deal you are looking for. Movies are $20 for 2 hours! Perhaps it is me, but it seems 50 for 8 hours of ski time is still decent.

>it sucks for someone like me who fucking loves snow

You sure you're from here?

No, I kid, I kid. I agree, this "winter" is anything but winter. I'm not going to get ahead of it though, we learned from 2015 very badly. There wasn't much snow up to mid-January then either, but then BLAM, 12 feet of snow in like six weeks. Boston's winter gods are sneaky that way.

When hire A Plummer they have to install by code.. When do it yourself as homeowner you don t all ways need to. I just installed mine way it was ,I use same water and electrical lines that were there. A relative hired A Plummer wanted him put on A wood toilet seat. He said he can t by law. Because wood carries or holds bacteria or?? said she can as home owner but he not allowed to by law ?

Four single-session tickets at Wachusett costs around $240. If you ski more than once or twice a year, you buy used skis in the summer, you don't need lessons, and you bring food from home. If only one parent skis, it's under $200 with two kids.

It's not nothing, but it isn't restricted to "rich people", and it doesn't cost $500. If you really love skiing, you buy a season pass, and you save significantly. My point isn't that it's free, or that it isn't a luxury -- it absolutely is -- but rather that it isn't reserved for folks in the 1%. Stuff like Vail buying out our local slopes (ugh, Okemo) sucks, and supporting smaller mountains helps to keep it from becoming something akin to what you see in CO or CA.
