Even though Sherman's pass is a green, there are a few spots that could be pretty scary to someone just graduating from the bunny slopes (Mighty Mite), plus it's loooooong and other skiers go crazy fast down it which can also be daunting - once you're very comfortable with Snowflake Bently, lower bently, sprig o' line, and Bear Run, then do Sherman's Pass once you've built up some stamina! Have fun!!!!!

We went away for the weekend to Montreal when our kids were 18 and 20. Came home and the house was clean, nothing broken. We congratulated ourselves that they hadn’t held a party. Later that day, I walked by a back seldom used bathroom. There was a post it note on it that said ‘Girl’s Room’.

They absolutely had a party…..

It’s actually backed by studies which show the male brain is still not developed at 18 (thus the criminal charging status for 18 to 21 year olds) as well as studies which show the longer someone waits to drink the less likely they are to become dependent. If the topic is of interest I encourage you to google it. Just preventing that first sip until after like 17 statistically reduces the chance of alcoholism by double digits.

I’m gonna argue with you on tastes the same. Orange County syrup is much better than say Washington or windham county. Soil quality/type makes a HUGE difference in taste of syrup. Grade is a function of weather, and mostly of cleanliness/bacteria levels.

As far as blending, unless you’re going directly to a producer you’re buying blended syrup, absolutely, and even than there’s a good chance it’s atleast blended with their own syrup to make different grades.

HA. Handed to me. I grew up in serious poverty, dropped out of school in 9th grade because I couldn’t work full time while in school. Was able to bust my ass and put myself through an associates degree program at VTC. There hasn’t been a single fucking thing in life handed to me that I didn’t bust my ass off to get.

The lazy complain, us “poors” bust our ass off to make sure our kids don’t live the life we did.

Because a lot of the details are being hidden. This woman full well knew what was going on at her house and there were over a hundred kids there.

Source: friends kid was there and asked for a ride, when friend picked kid up there were so many cars and drunk kids in the road he couldn’t even get near the house. Two drunk kids had their cars in the ditch and were trying to get pulled out without calling tow trucks. And rumor has it mama Chea knew exactly what was going down at her home. This is news because this woman’s child and their friends should be held equally accountable as every other underage drinker. I’ve seen far too many privileged kids get huge things like this ignored.
