sand in my vagina and I have menstrual cramps and I really hate vermont today

and I find it hilarious that a contract part time employee who has summers off and plenty of vacation during the school year needs to take time off to cat ski and then they are considered "rad" because their contract wasn't extended - oh they don't need money

classic vermont

ill advised is your alias here, "couldn't make a good decision if it bit you in the ass"?

**hawkgt** · 08-15-2019, 10:45 AM

say my name..... AUGUST!!!

I’m going to have to read up in the ECRC.

Vermont seems way more edgy than I had previously understood it to be.

**DBdude** · 08-15-2019, 10:48 AM

it's great here - if you are rich and a dead beat you fit right in

fastfred let me beat alpinezone in extending a warm greeting from vermont to you. you are obviously vermont material. those hot NJ babes in killington are waiting as is the impeccable grooming at killington and the customer service this state prides itself on

Living the good life!

Kids need us to demonstrate life is good. They need adults who are grim and brutal for those lessons and they need adults who are funhogs for those lessons too.

Wow, that’s putting a lot on my plate all at once.

I haven’t been to the Green Mountain State in 20 years, is there a way I can just dip my toes in the water before making such a commitment?

Christmas at Killington!

That sounds like a Kenny Rogers Christmas Special; I’m intrigued.

So do I just skip the soup at Magic and keep heading to K-mart?

Is the Wobbly Barn still there?

**DBdude** · 08-15-2019, 11:20 AM

rutland has really good soup

I believe the wobbly barn is open during ski season

**m2711c** · 08-15-2019, 11:24 AM

I highly recommend the soup at the middlebury snow bowl

Fun fact, I almost went to Middlebury.

Had I known about the soup things may have turned out differently.

**ill-advised strategy** · 08-15-2019, 11:51 AM

so don’t go on that trip there or you’ll end up in horrific Vermont, what with the babes and the grooming and the irresponsible teachers and all.

And stay away from that John Deere paraphernalia.

You narcissistic bastard you....always trying to enjoy your life and shit.

**DBdude** · 08-15-2019, 11:54 AM

nothin' runs like a deere

the true locals run olivers

Are you looking for a town close to world class skiing on Thurs-Sun (or other days when there is more than 6" of new snow?)

Yeah, well nobody cares about peaches either, Brit.

Yeah, edgy. The state that produced Phish.

You're just pissed because
https://bestinsnow.liftopia.com/winn...erica/overall/
ain't open on Wednesdays.

Just checking, are we all settled on the birthday issue? OP going skiing? Or sucking it up and heading to Sizzler?

**TNKen** · 08-15-2019, 02:21 PM

As Warren Miller would have said: If you don't succeed, failure may be your thing.

Blow off the "teen" birthday, and you will be a hit for the rest of your life. If you are considering this, it may be a failed cause anyway. Do it.

Didn't they do this survey at all the Vermont ski area bars and the "correct" answer gave you a free Jaeger shot with a beer back ?
