Holy crap that's awesome, I'll be browsing these photos when I'm on my next call!!! But I seriously do not remember the Inglenook looking like this (but that was almost 30 years ago)!!!???!!!

The Inglenook has taken on many forms over the years. My next hike on the mountain, I'll see about stopping there and grabbing a picture. I think Jay Peak had bought that property and is repurposing it for something else. But I could have sworn the last time we drove up there (this past summer) there was an Inglenook Lodge sign and I made the comment "wait, did someone buy it and bring it back to life". Well, I don't think my memory is what it used to be...
Holy crap!! $199 for a single day? That's got to be on the weekend, right? That's the worst day to ski when you spend more time in the lift line than you do hurtling down hill on waxed boards. I just took a look at the mountain that I skied when I last went and their weekend single day is $84, though a Monday through Friday full day pass is just $50.

Nope, it's pretty stinking flat. There were two other properties I looked at that were on the sides of a mountains, but one I would have needed to build a bridge over a small river (estimated about $50,000) and the other was on a long unimproved road that didn't qualify for winter upkeep...
Almost like that time we got onto the chair lift 3 chair after the "last chair" was going up and if the attendant didn't see us we would have spent a cold night on the mountain...
Nice high score! I'm still trying to design a nice workable two-person controller that includes both spinner and trakball. At first I thought the spinner could just be mounted above the trakball, but I saw a handful of comments that some games, like golf games where you need to spin the trakball quickly forward and so putting a spinner above it is just an obstacle that your fingers crash into with those games. I think the final decision was to put it above the P2 controls so you can still use the spinner with your right hand and P1 buttons with your left. Then everything happened and I've been staying at Caroline's to help out with everything while she deals with the loss...
