Well my parents just told me we will be selling both ski houses.. and wont make it to the mountains next year because were pretty much totally broke. Damn economy totally effed my dads building business..

sleep in tents
find friends with houses near mountains
make long drives at night

if you want to ski badly, you can find a way.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. You live in PA and you're saying you can't ski because your houses in the mountains are gone. Ski fucking PA.
Big Boulder
Blue Mt.
7 Springs
etc...
I've ski'd PA all my life and made due. Deal with it.

You are about to experience a whole new side of skiing.... Enjoy!

Skiing is about to start meaning a lot more to you because it will be harder to do, less frequent, and more on your own dime. Welcome to the club, my friend!

I think the point people are trying to get across is that you should stop bitching that your losing something that u were very fotunate to have in the 1st place. Now u have to actually drive to mtns. instead of having a house there. Wah wah wah...Go cry somewhere else...bitch. haha

I've been skiing Bear Creek for 10 years. Killington once, Blue Mt a few times, and Jack Frost once. 10 years and skiing is still just as thrilling as any time. Pa may not be the greatest, but you telling us that you can't ski cause you don't have vacation houses anymore really doesn't make anyone feel badly for you since you've clearly had it better than 99% of NS for your whole life.

Do you get snow where you live? Just make a sick backyard setup. Find people in your town to bum rides of off. I doubt your season is over just because your parents are broke. Get a job and pay for own passes.

I would take both ski houses, set rid of them for one ski house in a decent place of the US.

Many people affected by the economy have had to sell their family home, and are bummed because they're struggling to feed their families, and pay their bills. Your family has had to sell its extra mountain homes, and you're bummed because you'll have to ski in PA instead.

I find your post so infuriating, it's actually become funny again.

You're the kind of person who gives well-off people a bad name.

Nah, but if I had money I would still be living in a mediocre condo. Though I would have a car, top gear and I would take more trips to Wyoming and Utah.
