In this episode of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker welcomes back Bill Chen of Rhizome Partners, one of the platform's most popular and deeply knowledgeable guests in real estate investing. Fresh from attending NAREIT, Bill unpacks trends across the public and private real estate sectors, offering a unique vantage on REIT performance, multifamily fundamentals, and the developing divergence in valuation metrics. The discussion spans topics from rent regulation in New York, to capital allocation discipline among REITs, and dives into lesser-understood niches like grocery-anchored retail and net lease offices. Andrew and Bill blend data with real-time market observations to help listeners better understand value opportunities in today's real estate landscape.__________________________________________________[00:00:00] Andrew introduces Bill Chen[00:01:38] Bill recaps NAREIT conference takeaways[00:02:11] Public REITs vs private market stress[00:05:26] Construction collapse, capex outlook[00:12:18] Sunbelt rent growth and pipeline[00:21:36] Public REITs IRR and exit caps[00:27:20] NYC resi optimism vs politics[00:29:20] Clipper's challenges and NYC outlook[00:31:01] Sunbelt policy contrasts and rent trends[00:33:56] Postmortem: REIT investment performance[00:36:05] Tech and operational edge in REITs[00:37:11] Resilience, affordability, and dividends[00:44:14] AI impact on operations and leasing[00:48:56] Alexander's, office market bifurcationLinks:Yet Another Value Blog: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.comSee our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

Pour ce nouvel épisode du Pod'Casque, ONZMTL reçoit Héros de Russian, un vidéographe indépendant qu'on pourrait décrire comme un nomade visuel. De Montréal à Magog, du Vietnam à l'Europe, il promène sa caméra avec la même intention : capter l'essence des lieux et des gens, avec sincérité et précision.Héros n'est pas un simple cadreur. Il est observateur, narrateur, artisan. Son parcours, entre exils temporaires et enracinements successifs, raconte l'histoire d'un créateur en constante recherche de sens. Il filme des réalités souvent invisibilisées : les scènes de quartier, les trajectoires artistiques en marge, les instants bruts qui échappent aux algorithmes.00:00 – Premiers clips au secondaire à Lucien-Pagé + l'idée de filmer des mariages07:45 – Partir en billet simple pour Paris après la pandémie, sans caméra11:40 – Voyager selon son budget16:20 – Tourner des clips à Nice, dans le quartier de l'Ariane + galère de matos22:30 – Clipper dehors avec Gutta et Wawa25:30 – Une peur sur un tournage à Charleroi28:50 – Travailler pour pouvoir voyager30:40 – Tourner au Brésil : voyages et clips34:05 – Misère popularisée38:40 – Corée du Sud : galère de logement40:50 – Vietnam : storytelling visuel43:10 – Le 6e art n'est plus ce qu'il était / “Coincé dans les années 70”45:30 – Voyager seul : avantages et réflexions53:15 – l'Arménie, origines russes et suisses59:10 – Éthiopie01:01:30 – Collaborations artistiques + ce qu'il écoute en ce moment01:04:15 – Pink Floyd, quête personnelle et passeport canadien01:12:30 – Aller en Afrique01:14:20 – Le coût de l'américanisation01:17:20 – “Nique tout” et bad trip en Bulgarie01:22:25 – Québécois à l'international / Scène locale & rappeurs de ses débuts

Muito bom dia, boa tarde e boa noite queridos ouvintes, meu nome é Sérgio Sacani, sou editor do blog Spoace Today e do canal Space Today no Youtube e trago para vocês mais uma edição do podcast Horizonte de Eventos.E no programa de hoje!!! Vamos mergulhar fundo na missão Europa Clipper da NASA, uma jornada audaciosa até a lua gelada de Júpiter, Europa! Descobriremos por que este mundo distante, com seu vasto oceano escondido sob uma crosta de gelo, é um dos lugares mais promissores para buscar sinais de vida extraterrestre no nosso Sistema Solar. Exploraremos a história fascinante de sua descoberta, desde Galileu até as sondas Voyager e Galileo, entenderemos a geologia única de sua superfície e o incrível fenômeno do aquecimento de maré que pode manter seu oceano líquido. Detalharemos os objetivos científicos da Clipper, seus instrumentos de ponta, os desafios monumentais que ela enfrenta, como a radiação intensa de Júpiter, e o que a possível descoberta de um ambiente habitável – ou até mesmo vida – significaria para a humanidade. Preparem-se para uma viagem aos confins do Sistema Solar em busca de respostas para a pergunta: estamos sozinhos?Então você já sabe, se prepara, chegou a hora da ciência invadir o seu cérebro!!!!Olá, entusiastas do cosmos e mentes curiosas! Sejam bem-vindos a mais uma jornada pelo universo aqui no nosso podcast. Hoje, vamos embarcar em uma das aventuras científicas mais empolgantes do nosso tempo, uma viagem a um mundo distante, gelado, mas que pulsa com a promessa de descobertas extraordinárias. Falaremos sobre a missão Europa Clipper da NASA, uma sonda espacial destinada a desvendar os segredos de Europa, uma das luas mais intrigantes de Júpiter. Por que tanto interesse nesse pequeno mundo coberto de gelo, orbitando um gigante gasoso a centenas de milhões de quilômetros da Terra? A resposta é tão simples quanto profunda: Europa pode abrigar vida.Imaginem só: sob uma crosta espessa e congelada, cientistas acreditam existir um vasto oceano de água salgada, um oceano global que pode conter mais água do que todos os oceanos da Terra juntos. E onde há água líquida, calor e os ingredientes químicos certos, a possibilidade de vida, como a conhecemos ou talvez de formas que nem imaginamos, torna-se real. A missão Europa Clipper não vai pousar em Europa, nem perfurar o gelo em busca direta de organismos. Sua missão é investigar se as condições para a vida realmente existem por lá. É uma missão de reconhecimento astrobiológico, uma busca pela *habitabilidade* de um mundo alienígena.No grande palco do Sistema Solar, onde planetas rochosos, gigantes gasosos e inúmeras luas dançam em uma coreografia cósmica regida pela gravidade, a busca por vida além da Terra sempre fascinou a humanidade. Por muito tempo, Marte, o planeta vermelho, foi o principal foco dessa busca, com suas evidências de água passada e uma atmosfera tênue. Mas as descobertas das últimas décadas nos mostraram que a vida pode ser mais resiliente e adaptável do que pensávamos, prosperando em ambientes extremos aqui mesmo na Terra, como nas profundezas escuras e pressurizadas dos nossos oceanos, perto de fontes hidrotermais vulcânicas. E isso abriu nossos olhos para outros candidatos potenciais no Sistema Solar, lugares frios e distantes do Sol, mas que poderiam ter fontes internas de calor e água líquida escondida. Europa emergiu como um dos principais candidatos nessa nova fronteira da astrobiologia.

Cliff and Joe play the classic Blamze Pizza to assign blame for the Laker's disappointing first round exit. Also, who's to blame for the Clipper's loss to Denver?

The Clippers and Nuggets are headed to a Game 7, we're stressed! Adam, Will, and Chuck talk what the heck to expect from Batum starting with Kawhi and Harden, a heavy minutes load for 7 guys, and whatever the heck else might come up

The Clipper lose a close one in OT. 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil question which team has the better “core four” between the Clipper and Nuggets. How does Jamal compare to James Harden? Will Aaron Gordon be the defensive force he has in past post seasons? Will Norman Powell continue to be a “Nuggets killer”? Zach and Phil revisit CU’s decision to retire Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders’ numbers. Was this move premature? We hear Coach Prime address the issue and claim if Shedeur Sanders wasn’t a “Sanders” this wouldn’t be a problem. If Shedeur wasn’t a “Sanders” would the university even be retiring number 2? DenverSports.com’s Jake Shapiro joins the show to break down the Nuggets and Clippers playoff series. Will Michael Porter Jr. shrink in this series like he has in the past vs physical defenses? What defensive schemes will Ty Lue throw at Jokic and the Nuggets?

Get that sausage out of your mouth because you buried the lead; Ben Simmons is a Clipper. Plus, Pearl Jam tickets have taken over Zaslow's life, and Dan's A-Guy might be Stugotz's B-Guy.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil examine the betting when it comes to the Nuggets and Clipper playoff series. How have the odds changed since the series was announced? And who are the current odds favoring in this first round matchup? What does Jokic and Clippers center, Zubac’s history say about their matchup? Zach asks Phil, if he could magically have either Gabe Landeskog 100% healthy or Val Nichushkin 100% guaranteed to be reliable for the Avs playoff run, who would he pick. Between the Avalanche and the Nuggets, which team will benefit from a week off before starting the playoffs? Will either team come into the playoffs rusty? We look at the history of Sean Payton trading up in the first round and wonder if we are in store for this this season with the Broncos. Could the Broncos trade up for a stud in Ashton Jeanty or Tyler Warren or could they draft at 20 and then trade back into the end of the first round for another player? Are the Broncos close enough to go for it and mortgage some of their future?

Lucas, Rob, and Shap get together to discuss the Clippers blowing out the Hornets and Hawks by pretty similar scores over the weekend. With the team trending in the right direction, are the vibes shifting once again with this squad, in maybe a way that's better than where they were around Kawhi Leonard's mysterious injury spell last year? Who gets medals from these wins? The guys take a look at where the team is going and expectations for what's been a generally surprising Clipper squad.

Episode Notes Jacqueline Kavanagh, of Clipper Round the World, an 11-month race around the globe that takes paying amateurs as crew, was our first guest. She was followed by Nina Nazionale of the New York Historical museum, discussing their upcoming exhibit "Dining in Transit", which "showcases the innovative ways ocean liners, trains, and airplanes catered to passengers' appetites and expectations during the first half of the 20th century".

It's been a tough 2 days for the Kings. First they lose on a buzzer beater in overtime against the Clipper. A game in which they played very well especially defensively only to lose in heartbreaking fashion to Kawhi Leonard.And on the next night, they simply didn't have it on either end of the floor and get molly-whopped by the Knicks.It's by no means the end of the world but as it's been said so many times this season, it gets late early and the Kings need to recover from this quick to maintain their spot in the West Playoff race.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

The Astronomy, Space and Science News PodcastEarth's Climate Shaped by Orion, New Insights into Mars' Red Color, and NASA's Europa Clipper Mission UpdateIn this episode of SpaceTime, we explore a groundbreaking study suggesting that Earth's climate may have undergone significant changes around 14 million years ago due to our solar system's journey through the Orion star-forming region. Researchers propose that this passage may have compressed the heliosphere, increasing interstellar dust influx and potentially impacting Earth's climate and geological records.Revisiting Mars' Iconic HueWe also discuss new findings that challenge previous assumptions about why Mars is red. Recent research indicates that the planet's rusted appearance may be linked to a wetter history, with liquid water playing a crucial role in the formation of iron oxides. This revelation reshapes our understanding of Mars' habitability and environmental conditions in its ancient past.NASA's Europa Clipper MissionAdditionally, we provide an exciting update on NASA's Europa Clipper mission, which has successfully completed a close gravity assist flyby of Mars. This maneuver not only altered the spacecraft's trajectory towards Jupiter but also allowed mission managers to test its radar instrument and thermal imager, setting the stage for its upcoming encounters with the icy moon Europa.00:00 Space Time Series 28 Episode 28 for broadcast on 5 March 202500:49 Impact of the solar system's journey through Orion on Earth's climate06:30 Details on the Radcliffe Wave and its significance12:15 New insights into Mars' red color and history of water18:00 Analysis of iron oxides and implications for Martian habitability22:45 Overview of NASA's Europa Clipper mission and its flyby of Mars27:00 The importance of gravity assists in space missions30:15 Health implications of screen time on children's visionwww.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

Hint: the core things happened in the period after the collapse of Roman rule in Britain as it slid into the dark ages, but no magic or mysticism- just events that were elaborated on over time until the myth we know today solidified. My son in law recommended it ages ago and I am pretty sure I read it before, but it's very good and hard to put down Terry: Finished Voyage by Steven Baxter, a very nice conjectural fiction about NASA going to Mars, and all the work and drama therein. I started his next book, Titan.

Lucas, Rob, and Shap get together to talk about a stretch of successful Clipper basketball, with Kawhi Leonard finally being given a return date. Kawhi is scheduled to come back on January 4th, and the guys talk about the expectations for him to finally return to the court. They then turn their attention to an abysmal close against the Warriors, touch on the two Maverick road games, before closing on maybe the best win of the season in Memphis.

Holiday (:50), Missaukee Mountain (:52), Homestead (:51)Base elevation: 757 feetSummit elevation: 1,132 feetVertical drop: 375 feetSkiable Acres: 103Average annual snowfall: 132 inchesTrail count: 59 (30% black diamond, 48% blue square, 22% green circle) + 7 glades + 3 terrain parksLift count: 8 (1 high-speed quad, 3 fixed-grip quads, 2 triples, 2 carpets – view Lift Blog's inventory of Crystal Mountain's lift fleet)Why I interviewed himThe biggest knock on Midwest skiing is that the top of the hill is not far enough away from the bottom of the hill, and this is generally true. Two or three or four hundred vertical feet is not a lot of vertical feet. It is enough to hold little pockets of trees or jumps or a racer's pitch that begs for a speed check. But no matter how fun the terrain, too soon the lift maze materializes and it's another slow roll up to more skiing.A little imagination helps here. Six turns in a snowy Michigan glade feel the same as six turns in Blue Sky Basin trees (minus the physiological altitude strain). And the skillset transfers well. I learned to ski bumps on a 200-vertical-foot section of Boyne Mountain and now I can ski bumps anywhere. But losing yourself in a 3,000-vertical-foot Rocky Mountain descent is not the same thing as saying “Man I can almost see it” as you try to will a 300-footer into something grander. We all know this.Not everything about the lift-served skiing experience shrinks down with the same effect, is my point here. With the skiing itself, scale matters. But the descent is only part of the whole thing. The lift maze matters, and the uphill matters, and the parking matters, and the location of the lift ticket pick-up matters, and the availability of 4 p.m. beers matters, and the arrangement base lodge seating matters. And when all of these things are knotted together into a ski day that is more fun than stressful, it is because you are in the presence of one thing that scales down in any context: excellence.The National Ski Areas Association splits ski areas into four size categories, calculated by “vertical transportation feet per hour.” In other words: how many skiers your lifts can push uphill in an ideal hour. This is a useful metric for many reasons, but I'd like to see a more qualitative measurement, one based not just on size, but on consistent quality of experience.I spend most of my winter bouncing across America, swinging into ski areas of all sizes and varieties. Excellence lives in unexpected places. One-hundred-and-sixty-vertical-foot Boyce Park, Pennsylvania blows thick slabs of snow with modern snowguns, grooms it well, and seems to double-staff every post with local teenagers. Elk Mountain, on the other side of Pennsylvania, generally stitches together a better experience than its better-known neighbors just south, in the Poconos. Royal Mountain, a 550-vertical-foot, weekends-only locals' bump in New York's southern Adirondacks, alternates statuesque grooming with zippy glades across its skis-bigger-than-it-is face.These ski areas, by combining great order and reliable conditions with few people, are delightful. But perhaps more impressive are ski areas that deliver consistent excellence while processing enormous numbers of visitors. Here you have places like Pats Peak, New Hampshire; Wachusett, Massachusetts; Holiday Valley, New York; and Mt. Rose, Nevada. These are not major tourist destinations, but they run with the welcoming efficiency of an Aspen or a Deer Valley. A good and ordered ski day, almost no matter what.Crystal Mountain, Michigan is one of these ski areas. Everything about the ski experience is well-considered. Expansion, upgrades, and refinement of existing facilities have been constant for decades. The village blends with the hill. The lifts are where the lifts should be. The trail network is interesting and thoughtfully designed. The parks are great. The grooming is great. The glades are plentiful. The prices are reasonable. And, most important of all, despite being busy at all times, Crystal Mountain is tamed by order. This is excellence, that thing that all ski areas should aspire to, whatever else they lack.What we talked aboutWhat's new for Crystal skiers in 2024; snowmaking; where Crystal draws its snowmaking water; Peek'n Peak, New York; why Crystal is a good business in addition to being a good ski area; four-seasons business; skiing as Mother; what makes a great team (and why Crystal has one); switching into skiing mid-career; making trails versus clearcutting the ski slope; ownership decided via coinflip; Midwest destination skiing's biggest obstacle; will Crystal remain independent?; room to expand; additional glading opportunities; why many of Crystal's trails are named after people; considering the future of Crystal's lift fleet; why Crystal built a high-speed lift that rises just 314 vertical feet; why the ghost of the Cheers lift lives on as part of Crystal's trailmap; where Crystal has considered adding a lift to the existing terrain; that confusing trailmap; a walkable village; changes inbound at the base of Loki; pushing back parking; more carpets for beginners; Crystal's myriad bargain lift ticket options; the Indy Pass; why Crystal dropped Indy Pass blackouts; the Mt. Bohemia-Crystal relationship; Caberfae; Indy's ultimatum to drop Ski Cooper reciprocals or leave the pass; and why Crystal joined Freedom Pass last year and left for this coming winter.  Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewThe Storm's mission is to serve all of American lift-served skiing. That means telling the stories of ski areas in every part of the country. I do this not because I have to, but because I want to. This newsletter would probably work just fine if it focused always and only on the great ski centers of the American West. That is, after all, the only part of U.S. ski country that outsiders travel to and that locals never leave. The biggest and best skiing is out there, at the top of our country, high and snowy and with a low chance of rain.But I live in the East and I grew up in the Midwest. Both regions are cluttered with ski areas. Hundreds of them, each distinct, each its own little frozen kingdom, each singular in atmosphere and arrangement and orientation toward the world. Most remain family-owned, and retain the improvisational quirk synonymous with such a designation. But more interesting is that these ski areas remain tethered to their past in a way that many of the larger western destination resorts, run by executives cycled in via corporate development programs, never will be again.I want to tell these stories. I'm aware that my national audience has a limited tolerance for profiles of Midwest ski centers they will never ski. But they seem to be okay with about a half-dozen per year, which is about enough to remind the wider ski community that this relatively flat but cold and hardy region is home to one of the world's great ski cultures. The Midwest is where night-skiing rules, where blue-collar families still ski, where hunting clothes double as ski clothes, where everything is a little less serious and a little more fun.There's no particular big development or project that threw the spotlight on Crystal here. I've been trying to arrange this interview for years. Because this is a very good ski area and a very well-run ski area, even if it is not a very large ski area in the grand landscape of American ski areas. It is one of the finest ski areas in the Midwest, and one worthy of our attention.What I got wrong* I said that “I forget if it's seven or nine different tree areas” at Crystal. The number of glades labeled on the trailmap is seven.* I said Crystal had been part of Indy Pass “since the beginning or near the beginning.” The mountain joined the pass in May, 2020, ahead of the 2020-21 ski season, Indy's second.Why you should ski Crystal Mountain, MichiganCrystal's Loki pod rises above the parking lots, 255 vertical feet, eight trails down, steep on the front, gentler toward the back. These days I would ski each of the eight in turn and proceed next door to the Clipper lift. But I was 17 and just learning to ski and to me at the time that meant bombing as fast as possible without falling. For this, Wipeout was the perfect trail, a sweeping crescent through the trees, empty even on that busy day, steep but only for a bit, just enough to ignite a long sweeping tuck back to the chairs. We lapped this run for hours. Speed and adrenaline through the falling snow. The cold didn't bother us and the dozens of alternate runs striped over successive hills didn't tempt us. We'd found what we'd wanted and what we'd wanted is this.I packed that day in the mental suitcase that holds my ski memories and I've carried it around for decades. Skiing bigger mountains hasn't tarnished it. Becoming a better skier hasn't diminished it. Tuck and bomb, all day long. Something so pure and simple in it, a thing that bundles those Loki laps together with Cottonwoods pow days and Colorado bump towers and California trees. Indelible. Part of what I think of when I think about skiing and part of who I am when I consider myself as a skier.I don't know for sure what Crystal Mountain, Michigan can give you. I can't promise transformation of the impressionable teenage sort. I can't promise big terrain or long runs because those don't have them. I'm not going to pitch Crystal as a singular pilgrimage of the sort that draws western Brobots to Bohemia. This is a regional ski area that is most attractive to skiers who live in Michigan or the northern portions of the states to its immediate south. Read: it is a ski area that the vast majority of you will never experience. And the best endorsement I can make of Crystal is that I think that's too bad, because I think you would really like it, even if I can't exactly explain why.Podcast NotesOn Peek'n PeakThe most difficult American ski area name to spell is not “Summit at Snoqualmie” or “Granlibakken” or “Pomerelle” or “Sipapu” or “Skaneateles” or “Bottineau Winter Park” or “Trollhaugen,” all of which I memorized during the early days of The Storm. The most counterintuitive, frustrating, and frankly stupid ski area name in all the land is “Peek'n Peak,” New York, which repeats the same word spelled two different ways for no goddamn reason. And then there's the apostrophe-“n,” lodged in there like a bar of soap crammed between the tomato and lettuce in your hamburger, a thing that cannot possibly justify or explain its existence. Five years into this project, I can't get the ski area's name correct without looking it up.Anyway, it is a nice little ski area, broad and varied and well-lifted, lodged in a consistent little Lake Erie snowbelt. They don't show glades on the trailmap, but most of the trees are skiable when filled in. The bump claims 400 vertical feet; my Slopes app says 347. Either way, this little Indy Pass hill, where Melcher learned to ski, is a nice little stopover:On Crystal's masterplanCrystal's masterplan leaves room for potential future ski development – we discuss where, specifically, in the podcast. The ski area is kind of lost in the sprawl of Crystal's masterplan, so I've added the lift names for context:On Sugar Loaf, MichiganMichigan, like most ski states, has lost more ski areas than it's kept. The most frustrating of these loses was Sugar Loaf, a 500-footer parked in the northwest corner of the Lower Peninsula, outside of Traverse City. Sunday afternoon lift tickets were like $12 and my high school buddies and I would drive up through snowstorms and ski until the lifts closed and drive home. The place went bust around 2000, but the lifts were still standing until some moron ripped them out five years ago with fantasies of rebuilding the place as some sort of boutique “experience.” Then he ran away and now it's just a lonely, empty hill.On Michigan being “littered with lost ski areas”Michigan is home to the second-most active or semi-active ski areas of any state in the country, with 44 (New York checks in around 50). Still, the Midwest Lost Ski Areas project counts more than 200 lost ski areas in the state.On Crystal's backside evolution and confusing trailmapBy building pod after pod off the backside of the mountain, Crystal has nearly doubled in size since I first skied there in the mid-90s. The Ridge appeared around 2000; North Face came online in 2003; and Backyard materialized in 2015. These additions give Crystal a sprawling, adventurous feel on par with The Highlands or Nub's Nob. But the trailmap, while aesthetically pleasant, is one of the worst I've seen, as it's very unclear how the three pods link to one another, and in turn to the front of the mountain:This is a fixable problem, as I outlined in my last podcast, with Vista Map founder Gary Milliken, who untangled similarly confusing trailmaps for Mt. Spokane, Washington and Lookout Pass, Idaho over the past couple of years. Here's Lookout Pass' old and new maps side-by-side:And here's Mt. Spokane:Crystal – if you'd like an introduction to Gary, I'm happy to make that happen.On resort consolidation in the MidwestThe Midwest has not been sheltered from the consolidation wave that's rolled over much of the West and New England over the past few decades. Of the region's 123 active ski areas, 25 are owned by entities that operate two or more ski areas: Vail Resorts owns 10; Wisconsin Resorts, five; Midwest Family Ski Resorts, four; the Schmitz Brothers, three; Boyne, two; and the Perfect Family, which also owns Timberline in West Virginia, one. But 98 of the region's ski areas remain independently owned and operated. While a couple dozen of those are tiny municipal ropetow bumps with inconsistent operations and little or no snowmaking, most of those that run at least one chairlift are family-owned ski areas that, last winter notwithstanding, are doing very well on a formula of reasonable prices + a focus on kids and night-skiing. Here's the present landscape of Midwest skiing:On the consolidation of Crystal's lift fleetCrystal once ran five frontside chairlifts:Today, the mountain has consolidated that to just five, despite a substantively unchanged trail footprint. While Crystal stopped running the Cheers lift around 2016, its shadowy outline still appears along the Cheers To Lou run.Crystal is way out ahead of the rest of the Midwest, which built most of its ski areas in the age of cheap fixed-grip lifts and never bothered to replace them. The king of these dinosaurs may be Afton Alps, Minnesota, with 15 Hall chairlifts (it was, until recently, 17) lined up along the ridge, the newest of them dating to 1979:It's kind of funny that Vail owns this anachronism, which, despite its comic-book layout, is actually a really fun little ski area.On Crystal's many discounted lift ticket optionsWhile Crystal is as high-end as any resort you'll find in Michigan, the ski area still offers numerous loveably kitschy discounts of the sort that every ski area in the country once sold:Browse these and more on their website.On Indy Pass' dispute with Ski CooperLast year, Indy Pass accused Ski Cooper of building a reciprocal resort network that turned the ski area's discount season pass into a de facto national ski pass that competed directly with Indy. Indy then told its partners to ditch Cooper or leave Indy. Crystal was one of those resorts, and found a workaround by joining the Freedom Pass, which maintained the three Cooper days for their passholders without technically violating Indy Pass' mandate. You can read the full story here:On Bohemia and CaberfaeCrystal left Freedom Pass for this winter, but has retained reciprocal deals with Mount Bohemia and Caberfae.

Nick is joined by Daily Mirror Newsboy David Yates to discuss the latest from around the racing world. Leading today's episode is top rider Danny Tudhope, who reveals that his link with Steve Parkin's Clipper Logistics has come to an end, and that he'll be seeking new opportunities. Also on today's show, Nick and Dave dive into the detail of British Champions' Day, with Dave reporting the latest on Economics. Looking ahead, trainer James Owen gives an update on Futurity favourite Wimbledon Hawkeye, while rider Zac Purton hails a potential new star in Hong Kong and has the lowdown on his third placed finish in the Caulfield Cup. Donna Brothers reports from Churchill Downs, where she catches up with Steve Asmussen ahead of sending his string out west for the Breeders' Cup.

Her doctoral thesis led to her becoming a member of the team behind yesterday's successful launch of NASA's Clipper mission to Jupiter's moon Europa. Her contribution could help find out if beneath its thick ice crust, Europa is friendly to life.

Jupiter's moon Europa is one of the most promising targets in the search for life. The Planetary Society and space advocates around the world fought to make Europa Clipper a reality. This week, we learn more about the tumultuous history of the mission with Casey Dreier, our chief of space policy. Mat Kaplan, senior communications adviser, gives an update on the successful launch of the European Space Agency's Hera mission and the delayed launch of Europa Clipper due to Hurricane Milton. Then, Bruce Betts, chief scientist at The Planetary Society, discusses two opportunities to view comets in the October sky in What's Up.
