It melts the top layer of snow. The water seeps down freezes. Creating an icy layer. When skiers ski make turns in the same spot in soft snow deep trenches are formed, known as ruts. Ruts give the early racers a huge advantage. If a racer gets in trouble and has to ski out of the course, a rut will act like a ski jump and launch the racer, which is very dangerous.
Salting a race course with soft snow will make it fairer and safer for all racers. It does make a huge difference.
Salting has been banned on glaciers for years.

You are a good person. Unfortunately it's too easy to ignore it. Unless people are forced to use it , most won't. That's why I wish the mods would delete those posts. Maybe use a bot. Even ban those who repeatedly don't use the stickied threads. U/deadowl your a clever mod, is this possible?

After slipping the course all day destroys your edges. I used a pair of skis a day. Even free tunes would be nice.

Ughhh. They need to get everything down to be loaded in the WC trucks. Fortunately when it's at the bottom the WC professionals take over.

I know people that got fed up with needy hikers and kicked the Long Trail off of their property. It really messed up the LT.
The owners were so fed up with strangers asking for favors. Hikers were constantly knocking on their door.

Agreed I wish it would. Maybe a rule saying if don't use the pinned threads when appropriate you will be banned from r/vermont.
Harsh but this sub is getting overwhelmed with shit posts.

Moving as teen is tough. Can you afford private schools?

Christmas week is a mad house. Everything will be packed. Even getting a drink will take forever.
Even trying to find a bathroom could be problematic.

What don't you like? I have had no issues with it. I don't belong to any other banks so I can't compare.

Rental cars come with all season tires which are not very good in wintery conditions. Pegs has great vehicles for all winter conditions. With everything considered, I think her rate is not as bad as you are making it out to be.
If you were to go with Pegs, set your pickup date/time well in advance.

The Rohan St Marthe signs really caught me by surprise. Right before the election they popped up everywhere. I had never heard of him before. Looking at his LinkedIn profile it looks like he lives in Boston

True, becoming a volunteer fire person is a huge commitment. One that I was not willing to make.

Yeah, I was lucky that I moved here when I was young and participated in a lot of activities that introduced me to a lot of people. School & work also helped.
I couldn't imagine moving here if I was older.
