Most dads I know seem to gauge their happiness level by how little life has changed. If their spouse does everything, then they are happy. I am...

Looks like a good idea to me. Lifts would go nearly as high as Whistler. The area isn't pristine as there are already clear cuts on the lower flanks....

Those look low elevation and wet. Why has there never been plans to develop a ski area at Coquihalla Summit? Would get cold air from the interior...

I don't know anything about alpha studies, but if two siblings of similar age, regardless of gender, have never fought, to me, that would be a sign...

I'm calling bs on that. It's human nature, male or female, for two individuals to duke it out to claim alpha. Girls have a reputation for being tough...

Girls may be tough to raise but boys just end up in jail/prison, drug addicted, and depressed.

Parenting today is tougher than it was previously, now that it is typical for both parents to work full time and the kids are basically raised by...

TGR, like facebook, and the rest of the internet, is full of people trying to make their life look perfect when it's not perfect. No parents I know...

I think people in Aspen don't realize how radical this housing program is. I live in what might be the most liberal metro in the US, which like...

I naively thought Aspen's subsidized housing was for lower paid essential workers, like teachers, nurses, and other municipal govy workers. I had no...

Holy smokes. You weren't kidding. I googled the guy who is living in subsidized housing valued at $1.8 million. He's some kind of real estate...

A major reason I dislike subsidized housing programs like Aspens, where you literally have to win the lottery, is it makes Americans dislike...

Can you airbnb a room, or just long term rent a room, in your subsidized condo? Seems like an easy way to cash in on the true valley of that subsided...

Doesn't this subsidized housing in ski towns just cause even more people to want to move there? That would be pretty sweet to get a condo in Aspen...

Ya, just run that existing battery into the ground before you upgrade. Sounds like it might be starting to go bunk but is still serviceable. Now that...

AGM batteries do not HAVE to be vented. Some claim AGM batteries don't vent at all but I believe that is incorrect. They can vent Hydrogen, which is...

I have no idea about the Amazon LiFePO4 for $300 but at that price, I might be willing to just give it a try and find out. A 100 ah AGM battery is in...

Washington legislature is currently considering whether to allow four plexes on all parcels within cities greater than 6,000 people. 6 plexes if near...

That closed in 1949. And it was only rope tows. The thing preventing ski areas in National Parks today is that parks like Rainier and Oly are...

What ski areas that were in National Parks have closed due to low traffic? As AD points out, the only two I know of are still there. Paradise...

If Kircher sold Crystal because he was afraid of fire he has no business owning any ski area in the Western lower 48. The only ski area I can think...

Land swaps. Not selling off federal land for development. It appears a large chunk of Moonlight was on private land, even before the land swap. The...

He didn't privatize it. It was federally owned BLM land and Obama made it a National Monument. Trump undid parts of that National Monument. But it...

I did look, and upon close inspection, there is wilderness that goes to near the summit of Loan Peak. But it appears Big Sky is all on private land....

There is no way in our lifetimes National Forests, let alone wilderness areas and National Parks get privatized. Most likely not in our children's,...

You're really arguing that Big Sky is just like Crystal? Big Sky is surrounded by private land, roads, homes, and development. There is a 100%...
