I guess it is a matter of perspective and how closely one follows the news. I was concerned on January last year that we were going to need to cancel our President Week road trip Mammoth. Our 2020 road trip. I’m be disease expert, but it was obvious by late January that it was fucked. This turned out to be more fucked than I thought, maybe in part because we all kept traveling in February.

We stopped traveling in January and skied locally. There’s a difference in not traveling during a disease outbreak and buying season passes for the season a year away.
How many of us actually thought back in Jan-Feb that the ‘20/21 season was fucked? The thread here regarding the topic was started in July. Buying passes when resorts were shutting down is a different story.
Benny-offer stands. If you ever find your way out here and can stomach a day at a small, local, not destination resort, I’d show you around.

Oh, sure. "Small, local" west of the Mississippi is entirely different from the friggin' Poconos.

I’m putting Poconos on my list of places to ski before I die.

I think everyone will agree that the best thing to come out of the covid ski season is that benny won't be skiing anywhere this season.

But we'll be subjected to your incredibly boring trip reports of climbing up and skiing mud and rocks in Vermont. Yay.

Time to bump my favorite East Coast mud and rock TR:
I believe Vt-free, who was nursing a bad back, hauled a sled for around 30 miles that trip.
I skied a lot at Jericho Hill in Marlborough, AM as a kid. Maybe 250 vert. It was awesome. Mom would drop me and some friends off with sandwiches in our pockets and we'd ski a hundred laps.
It sucks that most of the neighborhood hill like this are gone. Without my time there I wouldn't be doing this sort of thing now:
I guess there's a difference between loving skiing and loving ski vacations.

Good stoke ISBD!
I grew up at the small WNY & CNY hills (Bristol, KB, Holiday), all are excellent places to cut your teeth.
I admire Benny's consistency. We all have our hills we die on, I guess his is shitting on others experiences.
