Now hear me out on this. I don't mean to be insulting, but is it just possible that they thought you were a special needs family, and they were just being overly nice to you?

It is not about race, it is about not having trash of any race attending. As someone pointed out, if there is trouble, it is usually somebody local.

I've been to some Prince Hall masonic lodges and black upscale jazz clubs. No issues, everyone cool. I had a friend murdered at a Tenn. mule pull, no a brother in sight. If the event invites trash, you have a problem.

At Steamboat now. 45-50% open. Don’t hate it for the lift ticket costs but the bars / restaurants are feeling it for sure…


One of the few years where east coast skiing is arguably better than the Rockies...

Gore, Whiteface, Killington, etc are having banner years for snowfall, at rates wayyyyyy cheaper than the Rockies.

kinda miss skiing but damn I don’t miss throwing down 8-10 grand


Upstate New York (Adirondacks/Catskills) has skiing with season passes and season rentals at like $1.5k for two kids and an adult all in. . New England is only a little more expensive.

Go to Plattekill. When they have good snow that place is great.

I heard that too- we got season passes for Belleayre/Gore/Whiteface and have been really enjoying it. My sister is in Denver and sending me jealous messages about how this year is going to wreck Colorado skiing at the current prices out there. Why drop $300+ on just a lift ticket when you can go to elsewhere for way cheaper?

I made a remark about it to my son and his response was “look around and tell me why you think that is”. What did he mean?


He means you are not skiing with Walmart shoppers. Make sure he sees bigger slice of the world. Sounds like it will do his life’s perspective some good.

Haven't been to any of those in years. I used to always stay away from Hunter during the weekends. Too much NYC trash goes there.

Whats funny is this is the first year I dropped the $900 on the IKON pass.

Never been skiing on the East coast though
Killington VT is a nice little resort / skiing town if you ever do.

I admit. I laughed at this. Well played. Which makes me wonder - do retards know they’re retarded, and if not how do any of us know we are not?
