This is pretty much what eric said.

So LP is the biggest of two. Right. New York doesn't have that in part because towns aren't exclusively resorts, you can afford real estate. Also, obviously as eric said, the topography out west, which makes for better skiing, limits the land to build on:

Which is really the problem, as eric points out. What else qualifies as a "ski town" in NY?

Is LP the biggest? Population 3000 I think. Syracuse is as close to Song as Lake Placid is to Whiteface. (Mt Pisgah is closer to LP.) I'm thinking more about family run places. At Titus, the Monettes have a business model that includes several businesses that run year round and they provide...

Makes skiing in upstate NY look almost sustainable by comparison.

I have some (40 years) experience investing. I know this. I thought they wanted no part of US bonds (and were selling) because they lost faith in the US. This ^^ makes more sense.

I thought it was the flight away from bonds (selling) in a down stock market, that caused the freak out. I'm not sure the president understands the stakes.

My buddy has a Totoya pluggin, lives 10 miles from work, buys gas 2x year. Seems like a good compromise with cheap Kwhs and no range anxiety.

I was asking how often you use that capability? How much does that affect your range? 60 mpg for what type of driving? I've seen in my hybrid that mountain cold (winter) is significantly lower. Those numbers make the pluggin hybrid look ideal for at least one car in the household.

I know this. Tank takes 12+ gallons. Never seen it take 13. Advertised as 14? It's a hybrid that fills for $30 something and goes 400+ miles. Summer in the suburbs 45+ mpg, drive to the mountains 38, winter to the mountains maybe 32. That 38 could be 40 if you drive more carefully. I'm...

I must be doing this wrong? 10 cents a mile x 250 mile range = $25 15 cents a mile x 250 mile range = $38 If so, somehow I thought it would be less than an ice car. My CRV fills for less than $40 and goes much farther in normal driving.

Glad your entertained. I'm with him.

I think it was 8 feet in a week. Seems like it's more than nothing compared. But it was at least two separate events so maybe it doesn't compare.

Yes sorry for the confusion.

Don't agree with this 100%, snowfall matters, but there is a lot of truth to this. I really watch Gore. It's not a great proxy for NY, but a decent one. In 14/15, we recorded 115 inches, a bit below average but the season included 6 weeks without rain, and it was generally agreed to be an...
