Yeah, they make some cool stuff.  How much winter clothes does she need in Vero Beach, Florida?

it is the second home in Steamboat! I did all the math on rental revenue but failed to factor in Moncler gear, Rookie mistake!

I heard Steamboat is a good investment.  I looked into it a couple of years ago. They are building a real ski village there?

This past Christmas my luggage was delayed going to Vail, and my winter coat was in my suitcase, so I was stuck in The Rockys without a coat.  I decided to gamble and went into the Moncler store in Vail Village and bought one of their most expensive men's coats.  I turned in the receipt and filed a claim with the airline, figuring they would pay like $500 of it, but to my surprise they paid the whole thing.  Still sucked to not have my luggage for 2 days, but that made me feel a whole lot better about the situation.

First one of these I've had. I'd say it's well under medium. I'm hoping for a bit of evolution .Pre light the draw was as cocoa as any Monte 2 I've ever had. Getting none of it now.

we bought a few years ago, so far it has been a great investment principal-wise! Nightly rates are also starting to head higher and property taxes are super low and easy to clear. The base will never be like a Vail situation but yes they are putting alot of money into developing the base (and expanding the terrain). Steamboat is more about the town which is 10 min or so from the base and easy to shuttle/drive to. The base has a bunch of good spots too. I know you are a NJ guy they also have a direct flight now on UA from EWR to HDN which is about 30 min from the mountain. PM me if you want more info, I know you guys like to travel to the good spots, eat well, etc. I think Steamboat should be your radar…great restaurants….not Aspen (but I would say competitive with Vail overall) and IMO generally much better snow. Also super family friendly (I have a 4 year old who already rips it is hilarious) I have been lucky to ski alot of places and when we bought the combo of family, terrain, good powder, and relative value Steamboat was a no-brainer for us.

Sounds great actually.  My wife told me she skied there a couple of years when she was a kid, and she wanted to check it out to see how different it is now.  We will get there one of these days.

I have a love-hate relationship with Aspen.  Love the town, but I am not so crazy about skiing Ajax.  I love skiing Snowmass though, so when we go there, I end up staying in Aspen and then having to drive or take the shuttle to Snowmass every day to ski.  I'm booking Christmas now, and the domestic airline prices are not much lower than the flights to Switzerland, so we may ski there instead this year.

 

Anyway, today I am smoking a PSD4

Ajax is challenging and not my favorite either! We do a week in Aspen and Jackson Hole on our Ikon Pass and I always joke with my wife most of these people here at the bar could not have had much fun on the mountain today. It can get tricky. For us in Apsen with a 4 year old the play is Buttermilk. We stay right at the Inn at the bottom, you’re 10 min from downtown and the restaurants and 10-15 from Snowmass. A week at Buttermilk was like a break through for my son when he was 3….like a mountain of greens, great spot to hone skills.

For kids, the ski school at Snowmass was the best of all the many that they attended when they were young.

Fantastic HU2 with the pups.

HAHA, if it's still the same scary-looking guy with the pipe in his mouth... he's been there since the 1990s (or longer)....he's the owner. I bought a box of Opus X torpedoes from him in 1996 before they went on ration soon thereafter.  He's always in a bad mood.  Seems like it mighta rubbed off on everyone else there crazy enough to work for him.  Massachusetts became impossible for in-state buyers back in the late 1990s...Taxachusetts. Everyone sensible here orders from elsewhere or takes a short drive over NH border.  We used to have multiple awesome cigar vendors here before things went crazy.  And we could always have an after-dinner cigar at multiple restaurants until early 2000s.  

That’s a shame! I try to support a local B and M when I can, bought a v cutter and a few corncobs. Cigars rival Hawaii taxes but still a nice stop. Weather was amazing.

Unfortunately Massachusetts went tax-crazy.  There used to be a number of great cigar shops in Boston. I’ve got a beautiful Elie Bleu humidor and all sorts of fancy stuff from them over the years. LJ Peretti specializes in pipes and pipe tobacco and probably ships it everywhere. That might be what’s allowing them to hang in there while others closed their shops.
