Strange activity is intensifying across East Tennessee, and longtime locals are starting to connect the dots. In this conversation, Tony sits down with Stephen Watson of Arcane Discoveries to explore why the Cherokee National Forest and surrounding mountains may function as a seasonal corridor for cryptids and paranormal phenomena. Stephen shares firsthand accounts of Bigfoot encounters, closed campgrounds plagued by rock-throwing and vocalizations, mysterious orbs, and unexplained handprints left on homes. He also recounts sightings tied to Dogman territory, a massive blonde Bigfoot moving at impossible speed, a black panther encounter, and a rare face-to-face meeting with what he believes was a red wolf. As the conversation unfolds, physical encounters give way to deeper questions about portals, vibration, and supernatural intelligence, suggesting these phenomena may be far more connected than anyone wants to admit.

On 09/20/1988, 19-year-old Tara Leigh Calico left her home in Belen, New Mexico, for her daily bike ride along Highway 47. She never returned. Nearly four decades later, her disappearance remains one of the most haunting and controversial missing persons cases in American history.This episode of The Guilty Files traces Tara's life from her childhood and active years at Belen High School to her studies in psychology at the University of New Mexico–Valencia Campus. We examine the morning she vanished, including her final conversation with her mother and witness reports of a light-colored 1953 Ford pickup truck following closely behind her pink Huffy bicycle.We explore  the infamous Polaroid photograph found 9 months later in Port St. Joe, Florida, showing a bound young woman and a boy in the back of a white cargo van. Conflicting expert analyses—from Scotland Yard, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the FBI—only deepened the mystery. We examine long-standing local theories, allegations of a cover-up involving prominent families, and former Sheriff Rene Rivera's 2008 claim that Tara was accidentally struck and killed by local teenagers. We also explore a disturbing deathbed confession alleging Tara's body was hidden by the son of the sheriff in office at the time.The episode honors the tireless efforts of Tara's parents, who died without answers, and highlights the work of investigators and advocates who continue to push for the truth. It concludes with the 06/2023 announcement by Valencia County authorities that the case has been submitted for prosecutorial review. As of 2025, no charges have been filed, and the identities of those believed responsible remain sealed.

HE WHO ADAPTS QUICKLY TO THE NEW CAR WILL SUCCEED. RED BULL WITH MERCEDES ARE UNDER SCRUTINY OVER COMPRESSION RATIO'S ... AUTOSPORTS 50 DRIVERS LIST IS BIZARRE TO SAY THE LEAST… THIS WEEK'S NASIR HAMEED CORNER…MORE VINTAGE BANTER BETWEEN THE HOST AND NASIR…THIS WEEK THE GIORGIO PIOLA INTERVIEW PART2. THANK YOU. Celebrating 75 Years of Formula 1 at the Pebble Beach Concours. To celebrate the 75th anniversary of Formula 1, the 2025 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance traced the full history of Formula racing — from cars representing its origins in Grand Prix racing through to cars on the starting grid today. The 1910 Benz 21/80 Prinz Heinrich Renn Wagon makes its way down Highway 1 on the Tour d'Elegance. Origins of Formula 1: Grand Prix 1906–1940 While the cars in this class were exhibited rather than judged, they were not at all static: two out of the seven cars participated in the Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance. These cars included the 1910 Benz 21/80 Prinz Heinrich Renn Wagon and the 1927 Delage Type 15 S8 Grand Prix. This class demonstrated the elegance and attitude that came from these racing greats that played a role in the rise of Formula 1. 75th Anniversary of Formula 1: 1950-1973 class Restored in 2010 to its 1967 Watkins Glen specification, the 1967 Lotus 49 Formula 1 took First in Class for the 75th Anniversary of Formula 1: 1950 to 1973. Its engine, the Ford Cosworth DFV, became the most successful Formula 1 engine in history, winning 155 Grand Prix. This car also drove over the ramp a second time to receive the Tony Hulman Trophy, which is awarded to the most significant open wheel race car. Another standout moment for this class was the first American-built F1 race car, the 1960 Scarab Formula 1, in motion on the Tour d'Elegance.

Creepypasta Scary Story

If you're hunting for a Christmas horror movie that isn't cozy or cute, Dead End (2003) is a nasty little gift waiting on a snowy back road. On this episode of Cutting Deep into Horror, hosts Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi sink into the cult Christmas chiller where the Harrington family's Christmas Eve shortcut becomes an endless nightmare of cursed highways, ghostly women in white, and a hearse that feels like it's driving straight out of the afterlife.Recorded as a holiday special (Henrique even wishes “my spookies” a very happy holidays right up top), this conversation leans hard into holiday horror vibes: the stress of family gatherings, the dread of long winter drives, and how Dead End weaponizes Christmas lights, carols, and obligation into something suffocating and surreal.Henrique and Rachael dig into the film's French indie roots and cult status—shot on 35mm for around $900,000 and later becoming a huge word-of-mouth hit on DVD—with an eye for what makes its single stretch of road feel so oppressive.   They unpack the Harrington family's bickering, secrets, and guilt; the symbolism of the woman in white and the black car; and how the twist ending recontextualizes every dark joke and cruel fate along the way.You'll also hear how Dead End stacks up against other Christmas horror classics, why it's perfect “between-holidays” viewing when you're sick of saccharine movies, and whether it deserves a bigger spot in the seasonal horror rotation alongside titles like Black Christmas and Krampus. By the end, you'll know more about Dead End than you ever thought you needed—and probably be eyeing your next late-night drive a little differently.Inside this episodeHoliday stress & family horror: How Dead End turns a simple Christmas Eve drive to the in-laws into a pressure cooker of resentment, secrets, and supernatural punishment.The woman in white & the black car: Breaking down the film's ghostly mythology, the hearse imagery, and what those apparitions say about guilt, death, and being “collected” on that endless winter road.Road-movie minimalism: Why keeping the action on one night, one family, and one stretch of forest highway makes the film feel like a bleak Christmas Twilight Zone episode.Budget vs. atmosphere: The tricks that make a ~$900k holiday horror movie feel bigger and more timeless than many larger-budget 2000s genre films.That twist ending: Henrique & Rachael's interpretation of the finale, Marion's survivor's guilt, and how the movie uses its reveal to reframe the entire Christmas Eve journey.Comparing Christmas horrors: Where Dead End sits in the holiday horror canon—and why road-trip terror might be the most relatable Christmas nightmare of all.Where to watch Dead End (2003) – U.S. streaming(Availability can change—these are current as of December 2025.)Amazon Prime Video (subscription / with ads) – Included with Prime / Prime Video with Ads https://www.primevideo.com/detail/Dead-End-2004/0HY9MUNJC4WLAX4JW97SS647H8 Tubi (free with ads) – Stream the full movie free: https://tubitv.com/movies/451127/dead-end Plex (free with ads) – Watch on Plex's on-demand movie section: https://watch.plex.tv/movie/dead-end Apple TV (rent/buy) – HD rental or purchase: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/dead-end/umc.cmc.1iym6o3m9wnyrxwfszyeb80p4 Fandango at Home (Vudu) (rent/buy) – Digital rental and purchase: https://athome.fandango.com/content/browse/details/Dead-End/1033867

Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" has been told and retold countless times. Adapted by everything from the Muppets to weird motion capture CGI. Heck, we even did an adaptation of it once in this block of Those Were The Days when we covered Highway to Heaven! But there are a few retellings that stand tall above the others and today we're covering Mickey's Christmas Carol. A short, but very memorable retelling that introduced many of us to Scrooge McDuck for the first time. Despite the fact that he's been around since the 40's, this 1983 classic pushed him into our hearts and then kept him there by making him the main character of Ducktales. This one holds a special place in all of our hearts and I'm glad we're rounding out another year of television with it.We'll be back in 2026 with more TV, but for now we're taking a festive break to spend time with our friends and family over the holidays. Keep an eye on our socials for our return and the theme we'll be covering when we do.

If you think your freight operation is exposed to organized theft or unknowingly carrying liability that could wipe out your business, you must listen to this episode with Michael Caney from HIGHWAY! Michael explains why freight theft has escalated into a national security issue, with organized, often foreign-led crime rings targeting U.S. supply chains, and why freight brokers are increasingly left holding the bag when loads go missing. We dig into how shipper contracts shift liability unfairly onto brokers, how undisclosed cargo values and fraudulent or "ghost" carriers magnify risk, why insurance agencies and factoring companies often enable the problem with little accountability, how post-2020 market behavior and "book it fast" culture have fueled freight fraud, and why extreme ownership, operational discipline, and transparent broker-shipper communication are no longer optional!   About Michael Caney Michael Caney is the Chief Commercial Officer at Highway. He leads marketing, sales, sales engineering, customer success, and partnerships, drawing on a career that spans building and scaling both freight brokerages and supply chain technology companies. Before joining Highway, Michael held senior leadership roles across startups and established firms, guiding teams from early operations through sustained market leadership. His background as an operator gives him a grounded, execution-focused approach to strategy, team building, and category creation.   Connect with Michael Website: https://highway.com/  Email: michael@highway.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcaney/

Dementia is becoming one of healthcare's most difficult problems to ignore. As the population ages, more families are finding themselves responsible for loved ones who can no longer manage their own care, communicate symptoms clearly, or navigate the healthcare system. Research shows that people living with dementia are hospitalized far more often than those without it—even when age and other medical conditions are taken into account—fueling a cycle of stress, confusion, and hospital visits that are often avoidable with the right support in place.That raises a simple but uncomfortable question: if people living with dementia can't meaningfully engage with the healthcare system on their own, why do we keep designing care models that expect them to?That question sits at the heart of this episode of Highway to Health, hosted by David Kemp, featuring Dirk Soenksen, CEO of Ceresti Health. Together, they explore why family caregivers—not patients—are the most important and overlooked participants in dementia care. The conversation looks at what actually happens inside the home, how caregivers make daily decisions that affect outcomes, and why supporting them can improve quality of life while reducing strain on the healthcare system.Top insights from the talk…Why traditional patient engagement doesn't work for dementia: Cognitive impairment makes it unrealistic to rely on patients to self-report symptoms or manage care, often leaving them disconnected from timely medical support.How caregivers become the real care coordinators: When caregivers are educated and supported, they're better equipped to recognize changes, respond early, and work effectively with primary care physicians.What a caregiver-first model changes for the system: Ceresti Health's approach has shown meaningful reductions in avoidable hospitalizations, saving roughly $6,000 per patient per year while helping people remain at home longer.Dirk Soenksen is a healthcare executive and entrepreneur with a long track record of founding, scaling, and commercializing technology-enabled care and diagnostics companies. He is the co-founder and CEO of Ceresti Health, where he leads a caregiver-enabled dementia care model that delivers proven cost savings for Medicare Advantage plans, ACOs, and PACE programs, and participates in CMS's GUIDE model. Previously, he founded and scaled Aperio into a global leader in digital pathology—raising over $50M and leading the company through FDA clearances and a successful acquisition by Danaher—after earlier leadership roles in digital health, medical technology, and engineering.

Herb Shirmer Alien Abduction | Paranormal Podcast In this episode, we explore one of the most detailed and credible alien abduction cases from the 1960s—the extraordinary encounter of Herb Schirmer, a 22-year-old police officer in Ashland, Nebraska. On December 3, 1967, during a routine midnight patrol after wrangling an escaped bull back into its pen, Schirmer spotted flashing red lights at the junction of Highway 6 and 63. What he initially thought was a broken-down truck revealed itself to be something far more extraordinary: a metallic, disc-shaped craft hovering just feet above the road. Within moments of shining his high beams on the object, Schirmer's world changed forever, leading to a documented 20-25 minute time gap that he couldn't account for—and physical evidence in the form of a mysterious red welt on his neck that appeared exactly where he would later recall being touched by an alien device. Through hypnotic regression sessions with Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle years later, Schirmer recovered detailed memories of what happened during those missing minutes, including being taken aboard the craft by gray-suited beings with cat-like eyes and communication antennas. The entities revealed shocking information about their surveillance activities on Earth, their breeding analysis program, and their mission to prevent humanity from destroying the planet—even demonstrating how they extract electrical power from transmission lines.

WhoMike Giorgio, Vice President and General Manager of Stowe Mountain, VermontRecorded onOctober 8, 2025About StoweClick here for a mountain stats overviewOwned by: Vail Resorts, which also owns:Located in: Stowe, VermontYear founded: 1934Pass affiliations:* Epic Pass: unlimited access* Epic Local Pass: unlimited access with holiday blackouts* Epic Northeast Value Pass: 10 days with holiday blackouts* Epic Northeast Midweek Pass: 5 midweek days with holiday blackouts* Access on Epic Day Pass All and 32 Resort tiers* Ski Vermont 4 Pass – up to one day, with blackouts* Ski Vermont Fifth Grade Passport – 3 days, with blackoutsClosest neighboring U.S. ski areas: Smugglers' Notch (ski-to or 40-ish-minute drive in winter, when route 108 is closed over the notch), Bolton Valley (:45), Cochran's (:50), Mad River Glen (:55), Sugarbush (:56)Base elevation: 1,265 feet (at Toll House double)Summit elevation: 3,625 feet (top of the gondola), 4,395 feet at top of Mt. MansfieldVertical drop: 2,360 feet lift-served, 3,130 feet hike-toSkiable acres: 485Average annual snowfall: 314 inchesTrail count: 116 (16% beginner, 55% intermediate, 29% advanced)Lift count: 12 (1 eight-passenger gondola, 1 six-passenger gondola, 1 six-pack, 3 high-speed quads, 1 fixed-grip quad, 1 triple, 2 doubles, 2 carpets)Why I interviewed himThere is no Aspen of the East, but if I had to choose an Aspen of the East, it would be Stowe. And not just because Aspen Mountain and Stowe offer a similar fierce-down, with top-to-bottom fall-line zippers and bumpy-bumps spliced by massive glade pockets. Not just because each ski area rises near the far end of densely bunched resorts that the skier must drive past to reach them. Not just because the towns are similarly insular and expensive and tucked away. Not just because the wintertime highway ends at both places, an anachronistic act of surrender to nature from a mechanized world accustomed to fencing out the seasons. And not just because each is a cultural stand-in for mechanized skiing in a brand-obsessed, half-snowy nation that hates snow and is mostly filled with non-skiers who know nothing about the activity other than the fact that it exists. Everyone knows about Aspen and Stowe even if they'll never ski, in the same way that everyone knows about LeBron James even if they've never watched basketball.All of that would be sufficient to make the Stowe-is-Aspen-East argument. But the core identity parallel is one that threads all these tensions while defying their assumed outcome. Consider the remoteness of 1934 Stowe and 1947 Aspen, two mountains in the pre-snowmaking, pre-interstate era, where cutting a ski area only made sense because that's where it snowed the most. Both grew in similar fashion. First slowly toward the summit with surface lifts and mile-long single chairs crawling up the incline. Then double chairs and gondolas and snowguns and detachable chairlifts. A ski area for the town evolves into a ski area for the world. Hotels a la luxe at the base, traffic backed up to the interstate, corporate owners and $261 lift tickets.That sounds like a formula for a ruined world. But Stowe the ski area, like Aspen Mountain the ski area, has never lost its wild soul. Even buffed out and six-pack equipped and Epic Pass-enabled, Stowe remains a hell of a mountain, one of the best in New England, one of my favorite anywhere. With its monster snowfalls, its endless and perfectly spaced glades, its never-groomed expert zones, its sprawling footprint tucked beneath the Mansfield summit, its direct access to rugged and forbidding backcountry, Stowe, perhaps the most western-like mountain in the East, remains a skier's mountain, a fierce and humbling proving ground, an any-skier's destination not because of its trimmings, but because of the Christmas tree itself.Still, Stowe will never be Aspen, because Stowe does not sit at 8,000 feet and Stowe does not have three accessory ski areas and Stowe the Town does not grid from the lift base like Aspen the Town but rather lies eight miles down the road. Also Stowe is owned by Vail Resorts, and can you just imagine? But in a cultural moment that assumes ski area ruination-by-the-consolidation-modernization-mega-passification axis-of-mainstreaming, Aspen and Stowe tell mirrored versions of a more nuanced story. Two ski areas, skinned in the digital-mechanical infrastructure that modernity demands, able to at once accommodate the modern skier and the ancient mountain, with all of its quirks and character. All of its amazing skiing.What we talked aboutStowe the Legend; Vail Resorts' leadership carousel; ascending to ski area leadership without on-mountain experience; Mount Brighton, Michigan and Midwest skiing; struggles at Paoli Peaks, Indiana; how the Sunrise six-pack upgrade of the old Mountain triple changed the mountain; whether the Four Runner quad could ever become a six-pack; considering the future of the Lookout Double and Mansfield Gondola; who owns the land in and around the ski area; whether Stowe has terrain expansion potential; the proposed Smugglers' Notch gondola connection and whether Vail would ever buy Smuggs; “you just don't understand how much is here until you're here”; why Stowe only claims 485 acres of skiable terrain; protecting the Front Four; extending Stowe's season last spring; snowmaking in a snowbelt; the impact and future of paid parking; on-mountain bed-base potential; Epic Friend 50 percent off lift tickets; and Stowe locals and the Epic Pass.What I got wrongOn detailsI noted that one of my favorite runs was not a marked run at all: the terrain beneath the Lookout double chair. In fact, most of the trail beneath this mile-plus-long lift is a market run called, uh, “Lookout.” So I stand corrected. However, the trailmap makes this full-throttle, narrow bumper – which feels like skiing on a rising tide – look wide, peaceful, and groomable. It is none of those things, at least for its first third or so.On skiable acres* I said that Killington claimed “like 1,600 acres” of terrain – the exact claimed number is 1,509 acres.* I said that Mad River Glen claimed far fewer skiable acres than it probably could, but I was thinking of an out-of-date stat. The mountain claims just 115 acres of trails – basically nothing for a 2,000-vertical-foot mountain, but also “800 acres of tree-skiing access.” The number listed on the Pass Smasher Deluxe is 915 acres.On season closingsI intimated that Stowe had always closed the third weekend in April. That appears to be mostly true for the past two-ish decades, which is as far back as New England Ski History has records. The mountain did push late once, however, in 2007, and closed early during the horrible no-snow winter of 2011-12 (April 1), and the Covid-is-here-to-kill-us-all shutdown of 2020 (March 14).On doing better prepI asked whether Stowe had considered making its commuter bus free, but it, um, already is. That's called Reeserch, Folks.On lift ticket ratesI claimed that Stowe's top lift ticket price would drop from $239 last year to $235 this coming season, but that's inaccurate. Upon further review, the peak walk-up rate appears to be increasing to $261 this coming winter:Which means Vail's record of cranking Stowe lift ticket rates up remains consistent:On opening hoursI said that the lifts at Stowe sometimes opened at “7:00 or 7:30,” but the earliest ski lift currently opens at 8:00 most mornings (the Over Easy transit gondola opens at 7:30). The Fourrunner quad used to open at 7:30 a.m. on weekends and holidays. I'm not sure when mountain ops changed that. Here's the lift schedule clipped from the circa 2018 trailmap:On Mount Brighton, Michigan's supposed trashheap legacyI'd read somewhere, sometime, that Mount Brighton had been built on dirt moved to make way for Interstate 96, which bores across the state about a half mile north of the ski area. The timelines match, as this section of I-96 was built between 1956 and '57, just before Brighton opened in 1960. This circa 1962 article from The Livingston Post, a local paper, fails to mention the source of the dirt, leaving me uncertain as to whether or not the hill is related to the highway:Why you should ski StoweFrom my April 10 visit last winter, just cruising mellow, low-angle glades nearly to the base:I mean, the place is just:I love it, Man. My top five New England mountains, in no particular order, are Sugarbush, Stowe, Jay, Smuggs, and Sugarloaf. What's best on any given day depends on conditions and crowding, but if you only plan to ski the East once, that's your list.Podcast NotesOn Stowe being the last 1,000-plus-vertical-foot Vermont ski area that I featured on the podYou can view the full podcast catalogue here. But here are the past Vermont eps:* Killington & Pico – 2019 | 2023 | 2025* Stratton 2024* Okemo 2023* Middlebury Snowbowl 2023* Mount Snow 2020 | 2023* Bromley 2022* Jay Peak 2022 | 2020* Smugglers' Notch 2021* Bolton Valley 2021* Hermitage Club 2020* Sugarbush 2020 with current president John Hammond | 2020 with past owner Win Smith* Mad River Glen 2020* Magic Mountain 2019 | 2020* Burke 2019On Stowe having “peers, but no betters” in New EnglandWhile Stowe doesn't stand out in any one particular statistical category, the whole of the place stacks up really well to the rest of New England - here's a breakdown of the 63 public ski areas that spin chairlifts across the six-state region:On the Front Four ski runsThe “Front Four” are as synonymous with Stowe as the Back Bowls are with Vail Mountain or Corbet's Couloir is with Jackson Hole. These Stowe trails are steep, narrow, double-plus-fall-line bangers that, along with Castlerock at Sugarbush and Paradise at Mad River Glen, are among the most challenging runs in New England.The problem is determining which of the double-blacks spiderwebbing off the top of Fourrunner are part of the Front Four. Officially, the designation has always bucketed National, Liftline, Goat, and Starr together, but Bypass, Haychute, and Lookout could sub in most days. Credit to Stowe for keeping these wild trails intact for going on a century, but what I said about them “not being for the masses” on the podcast wasn't quite accurate, as the lower portions of many - especially Liftline - are wide, often groomed, and not particularly treacherous. The best end-to-end trail is Goat, which is insanely steep and narrow up top. Here's part of Goat's middle-to-lower section, which is mellower but a good portrayal of New England bumpy, exposed-dirt-and-rocks gnar, especially at the :19 mark:The most glorious ego boost (or ego check) is the few hundred vertical feet of Liftline directly below Fourrunner. Sound on for scrapey-scrape:When the cut trails get icy, you can duck into the adjacent glades, most of which are unmarked but skiable. Here, I bailed into the trees skier's left of Starr to escape the ice rink:On Vail Resorts' leadership shufflesTwelve of Vail's 37 North American ski areas began the 2024-25 ski season with a different leader than they ended the 2023-24 ski season with. This included five of the company's New England resorts, including Stowe. Giorgio, in fact, became the ski area's third general manager in three winters, and the fourth since Vail acquired the ski area in 2017. I asked Giorgio about this, as a follow up to a similar set of questions I'd laid out for Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz in August:I may be overthinking this, but check this out: between 2017 and 2024, Vail Resorts changed leadership at its North American ski areas more than 70 times - the yellow boxes below mark a new president-general-manager equivalent (red boxes indicate that Vail did not yet own the ski area):To reset my thinking here: I can't say that this constant leadership shuffle is inherently dysfunctional, and most Vail Resorts employees I speak with appreciate the company's upward-mobility culture. And I consistently find Vail's mountain leaders - dozens of whom I have hosted on this podcast - to be smart, earnest, and caring. However, it's hard to imagine that the constant turnover in top management isn't at least somewhat related to Vail Resorts' on-the-ground reputational issues, truncated seasons at non-core ski areas (see Paoli Peaks section below), and general sense that the company's arc of investment bends toward its destination resorts.On Peak ResortsVail purchased all of Peak Resorts, including Mount Snow, where Giorgio worked, in 2019. Here's that company's growth timeline:On Vernon Valley-Great GorgeThe ski area now known as Mountain Creek was Vernon Valley-Great Gorge until 1997. Anyone who grew up in the area still calls the joint by its legacy name.On Paoli Peaks versus Perfect NorthMy hope is that if I complain enough about Paoli Peaks, Vail will either invest enough in snowmaking to tranform it into a functional ski area or sell it. Here are the differences between Paoli's season lengths since 2013 as compared to Perfect North, its competitor that is the only other active ski area in the state:What explains this longstanding disparity, which certainly predates Vail's 2019 acquisition of the ski area? Paoli does sit southwest of Perfect North, but its base is 200 feet higher (600 feet, versus 400 for Perfect), so elevation doesn't explain it. Perfect does benefit from a valley location, which, longtime GM Jonathan Davis told me a few years back, locks in the cold air and supercharges snowmaking. The simplest answer, however, is probably the correct one: Perfect North has built one of the most impressive snowmaking systems on the planet, and they use it aggressively, cranking more than 200 guns at once. At peak operations, Perfect can transform from green grass to skiable terrain in just a couple of days.So yes, Perfect has always been a better operation than Paoli. But check this out: Paoli's performance as compared to Perfect's has been considerably worse in the five full seasons of Vail Resorts' ownership (excluding 2019-20), than in the six seasons before, with Perfect besting Paoli to open by an average of 21 days before Vail arrived, and by 31 days after. Perfect's seasons lasted an average of 25 days longer than Paoli's before Vail arrived, and 38 days longer after:Yes, Paoli is a uniquely challenged ski area, but I'm confident that someone can do a better job running this place than Vail has been doing since 2019. Certainly, that someone could be Vail, which has the resources and institutional knowledge to transform this, or any ski area, into a center of SnoSportSkiing excellence. So far, however, they have declined to do so, and I keep thinking of what Davis, Perfect North's longtime GM, said on the pod in 2022: “If Vail doesn't want [its ski areas in Indiana and Ohio], we'll take them!”On the 2022 Sunrise Six replacement for the tripleIn 2022, Stowe replaced the Mountain triple chair, which sat up a flight of steep steps from the parking lot, with the at-grade Sunrise six-pack. It was the kind of big-time lift upgrade that transforms the experience of an entire ski area for everyone, whether they use the new lift or not, by pulling skiers toward a huge pod of underutilized terrain and away from longtime alpha lifts Fourrunner and the Mansfield Gondola.On Fourrunner as a vert machineStowe's Fourruner high-speed quad is one of the most incredible lifts in American skiing, a lightspeed-fast base-to-summit, 2,040-vertical-foot monster with direct access to some of the best terrain west of A-Basin.The highest vert total in my 54-day 2024-25 ski season came (largely) courtesy of this lift - and I only skied five-and-a-half hours:On Stowe-Smuggs proximity and the proposed gondola and a long drive in winterAdventurous skiers can skin or hike across the top of Stowe's Spruce Peak and ski down into the Smugglers' Notch ski area. An official ski trail once connected them, and Smuggs proposed a gondola connector a couple of years back. If Vail were to purchase sprawling Smuggs, a Canyons-Park City mega-connection – while improbable given local environmental lobbies -could instantly transform Stowe into one of the largest ski areas in the East.On Jay Peak's big snowmaking upgradesI referenced big offseason snowmaking upgrades for water-challenged (but natural-snow blessed), Jay Peak. I was referring to this:This season brings an over $1.5M snowmaking upgrade that's less about muscle and more about brains. We've added 49 brand new HKD Low E air-water snowmaking guns—32 on Queen's Highway and 17 on Perry Merrill. These aren't your drag-'em-out, hook-'em-up, hope-it's-cold-enough kind of guns. They're fixed in place for the season and far more efficient, using much less compressed air than the ones they replace. Translation: better snow, less energy.On Perry Merrill, things get even slicker. We've installed HKD Klik automated hydrants that come with built-in weather stations. The second temps hit 28 degrees wetbulb, these hydrants kick on automatically and adjust the flow as the mercury drops. No waiting, no guesswork, no scrambling the crew. The end result? Those key connecting trails between Tramside and Stateside get covered faster, which means you can ski from one side to the other—or straight back to your condo—without having to hop on a shuttle with your boots still buckled. …It's all part of a bigger 10-year snowmaking plan we're rolling out—more automation, better efficiency, and ultimately, better snow for you to ski and ride on.The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

Largest Biker Gang Bust in Georgia HistoryToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, we are breaking down what is now being called the largest motorcycle gang conviction in Georgia state history — and the implications are far bigger than just one case.On a December morning at 11:31 a.m., Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr announced the conviction of 15 members of the Southeast Georgia Chapter of the Outcast Motorcycle Club in Bryan County.The case stems from an attempted armed robbery and shootout that took place on June 17, 2022, at Flacos House Bar & Grill and the Red Roof Inn on Highway 17 in Richmond Hill.According to prosecutors:Innocent bystanders were caught in the crossfireSix members of a rival gang were targetedFirearms were usedAnd the state pursued the case aggressively from top to bottomJust 17 years after donning the 1%er diamond in Georgia, the Outcast MC now finds itself placed squarely in the national spotlight of biker gang prosecutions, alongside the so-called “Top 5” white outlaw motorcycle clubs.⚖️ This Is Bigger Than One CaseThere's a reason Black motorcycle clubs historically avoided the 1%er diamond when it first appeared in 1958 — and it had nothing to do with toughness, heart, or organization.The OGs understood something critical:Juries judge Black skin differently. Then. And now.They knew the diamond didn't just represent outlaw status —it represented enhanced scrutiny, enhanced charges, and enhanced punishment.That diamond painted a target squarely on the chest. So What Is “Patch Policing” Really Called in Court?Here's the truth:In the courtroom, patch policing isn't called “protocol.”It isn't called “club business.” It's called ARMED ROBBERY. And the sentence is 20 years.Today, we'll break down:How club conduct gets reframed by prosecutorsWhy juries don't hear “MC culture” — they hear “organized crime”How enhanced charges are built around patches, colors, and associationAnd why this case should serve as a warning to every MC wearing a diamond

The Homochitto River winds through the southwest corner of Mississippi and empties into the river that shares the state's namesake. Other than Natchez, a preserved antebellum town, it's a scarcely populated region, defined by historical markers and the dilapidated mills that stand in perpetual collapse along Highway 98, until it, too, runs out and empties into the backroads of Adams and Wilkinson counties.
