Whenever I am at Snowshoe I make sure to have an Almost Heaven Amber Ale from Mountain State brewing.

Just in this AM...

Jack Frost and Big Boulder are now Epic.

The purchase was announced back in July, and was approved by the Vail shareholders a few days ago... and formally closed/announced yesterday. This is the deal that bought all the Peak Resorts - 17 of them, which are now Epic. In the Mid-Atlantic, this includes Jack Frost, Big Boulder, Whitetail, Roundtop, Liberty, and Hunter in NY (if you consider NY to be Mid-Atlantic).

I'm curious, with so many resorts coming on board, what type of investments if any Vail will make into these places.

What is new for locals is how management will change...some just found out this AM whether they are keeping their jobs or not. From a local perspective, it becomes more of an issue than the passes available. Apparently, there is now an eastern supervisor....which is probably a good thing for JFBB.

I'm really hoping Vail puts a bit of money into Jack Frost's lodge. Although, it does have that whole retro vibe going on currently so there is that... might not want to mess with that excellence.

Women in our group like a nice Belgian wheat beer like Hoegaarden. I'm all over the map depending on my mood, but a crisp Pilsner can't be beat. I tend towards dry and hoppy beers.
