Six titles, two threepeats, '91 to '93 and '96 to '98. And it would've been eight in a row had MJ not followed his spirit animal onto the baseball diamond for two summers, they might add.But they're wrong. The non-1950s-to-‘60s player with the most NBA titles is Robert Horry, Big Shot Bob, who played an important role in seven title runs with three teams: the 1994 and '95 Houston Rockets; the 2000, 2001, and 2002 Lakers; and the 2005 and '07 San Antonio Spurs. While he's not in the hall of fame (Shaq thinks he should be), and doesn't make The Athletic or Hoops Hype's top 75 lists, Stadium Talk lists Horry as one of the 25 most clutch players of all time.Attitash might be skiing's Robert Horry. Always in the halo of greatness, never the superstar. Vail Resorts is the ski area's third consecutive conglomerate owner, and the third straight that doesn't quite seem to know what to do with the place. LBO Resort Enterprises opened Bear Peak in 1994, but then seemed to forget about Attitash after the merger with American Skiing Company two years later (ASC did install the Flying Yankee detachable quad in 1998). Peak Resorts picked Attitash out of ASC's rubbish bin in 2007, then mostly let the place languish for a decade before chopping down the Top Notch double chair in 2018 with no explanation. That left no redundant route to the top of Attitash peak, which became a problem when the Summit Triple dropped dead for most of the 2018-19 ski season. Rather than replace the lift, Peak repaired it, then handed the spruced-up-but-still-hated machine off to Vail Resorts, along with the rest of its portfolio, that summer.Like someone who inherits a jam-packed storage bin from a distant strange relative, Vail spent a couple of years just staring at all the boxes, uncertain what was in them and kind of afraid to look. Those first few winters, which corresponded with Covid, labor shortages, and supply-chain issues, weren't great ones at Attitash. A general sense of dysfunction reigned: snowmaking lagged, lifts opened late in the season or not at all, generic corporate statements thanked the hardworking teams without acknowledging the mountain's many urgent shortcomings. As it was picking through the storage unit, Vail made the strange decision of stacking the New Hampshire box next to the Midwest boxes, effectively valuing Attitash and long-suffering sister resort Wildcat – both with 2,000-ish-foot vertical drops and killer terrain – on the same day-pass tier as 240-foot Mad River, Ohio and 35-acre Snow Creek, Missouri. Anyone committed to arguing against absentee ownership of New England ski areas had a powerful exhibit A with Attitash.Then, last year, Vail opened the Attitash box. And instead of the Beanie Baby collection and Battle of Hamburger Hill commemorative coins that the company expected to find, they pulled out a stack of Microsoft stock certificates from the 1986 IPO. And they were like, “Well now, these might be worth something.”So they got to work. The company improved snowmaking. They replaced the 49-year-old East/West double-double with a brand-new fixed-grip quad. They raised the companywide minimum wage to $20 an hour, well above average for New Hampshire, helping Attitash staff up and resemble a functioning business. Then, this summer, they finally did it: demolished the wickedly inefficient Summit Triple and replaced it with a glimmering high-speed quad.Of course, in true Attitash fashion, the Mountaineer, as the new lift is called, was the last of 60-plus 2023 lift projects in North America to fly towers. But the chair will be open this winter, and it should reset the mountain's rap. Whether Mountaineer will finally push the resort's reputation and stature to match its burly vertical drop and trail count remains to be seen. Ski's readers did not list Attitash on their top 20 eastern ski areas for 2023. Z Rankings lists the mountain 28th in the East.Unlike NBA players, ski areas' careers span generations. In this way, they're more like the franchises themselves. Sometimes the Lakers have Magic or Kobe, and in some eras, well, they don't. Attitash just went a few decades without a franchise player. They may have finally drafted one. This is a top-20 New England ski area that may finally be ready to act like it.What we talked aboutThe overdue death of the Attitash triple; the story behind the “Mountaineer” lift name; why a high-speed quad was the right replacement lift; take the train to the mountain; what happened to the lift tower that Flying Yankee and Summit Triple shared; expansion opportunities off Attitash Peak; other alignments the ski area considered for Mountaineer; why and where Attitash moved the Mountaineer lift load station; the circa-Peak Resorts Mount Snow intelligentsia; Vail's culture of internal development and promotion; the unique challenges of running Attitash in a very crowded neighborhood; the Attitash-Wildcat combo; the Progression Quad replacement for the East/West double-double; considering Bear Peak's lift fleet; why glades disappeared from Attitash's trailmap, and why they're back; whether the old Top Notch double chair line could ever enter the official trail network; snowmaking upgrades; how big of an impact the $20-an-hour minimum wage had on Attitash; employee housing; Northeast-specific Epic Passes; and the Epic Day Pass.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewThe Mountaineer, of course. For 30 years, successive owners have insisted that Attitash Peak was incompatible with a high-speed quad: too much capacity feeding too few trails from a lift that would cost too much to build.Well, Vail built it. So Swartz and I discuss why, after saying no for so long, mom finally bought us our expensive toy. I won't get into that here, because that's what the podcast is for, but I will make this point: there is a dirt-stupid but persistent narrative that Vail Resorts doesn't care about its eastern properties, and only bought them to entice monied New Englanders to its western trophies. But, nearly seven years after entering the region with the surprise purchase of Stowe, Vail has done plenty to disprove that notion, launching Northeast-specific Epic Passes in 2020; installing new six-packs at Stowe, Mount Snow, and Okemo; adding high-speed quads at Attitash and Mount Snow; and moving another HSQ at Okemo. It's been a quiet but complete gut-renovation of what had been some very tired ski areas.Vail must feel, often, like it can't win. They're often framed as elitists for building too much and as cheapskates for investing too little. Social media piles on because their resorts are too busy but also because they're priced too high. I'll admit that I criticize them for making lift tickets too expensive and passes too cheap. The Mountaineer, which New England has spent two decades begging for, will likely draw criticism for overcrowding Attitash as skiers soon forget the aches and pains of the Summit Triple.Skiers can be impossible pains in the ass, no question. But Vail showed up at the steakhouse and came back to the table with the whole buffet. In the five years from 2016 to 2021, Vail purchased 29 ski areas. Prior to that, it owned just 11. That's nearly a quadrupling of size in half a decade. That would be challenging at any time. Add the Covid face-rearranging, and it was nearly impossible to digest.After several rough winters, however, Vail may be taming this herd of feral horses. They're not done yet, but things are calming down. The lift investments are helping, management is stabilizing. They still need to loosen the reigns on snowmaking outside of the West, better limit crowds on peak days, and find a less-gun-to-the-head method of incentivizing Epic Pass sales than $299 lift tickets. But Vail Resorts, as a stable entity rather than a growth monster, is beginning to gel, and Attitash symbolizes that metamorphosis as well as any mountain in the portfolio.What I got wrongWe alluded to the fact that Attitash would fly the Mountaineer towers on the day we recorded this, Nov. 6. Weather delays pushed that installation to later in the month.This isn't something I got wrong at the time, but the Epic Day Pass rates I mentioned were tier four prices. They've since increased slightly. Here are the current (and final) rates (the 22-resorts tier gets you in the door at Attitash):Why you should ski AttitashLet's continue the basketball metaphor. Who's your starting five if New Hampshire is your basketball team? Cannon makes the roster by default, a 2,180-footer with the best terrain in the state. Go ahead and fill out the roster with your other 2,000-footers: Loon, with its jungle gym of fancy upgraded lifts; Wildcat, with its Mount Washington views and high-speed top-to-bottom laps of twisted glory; and sprawling, falling Waterville Valley.So who's your number five? I'd accept arguments for gorgeous Mount Sunapee, beefy Bretton Woods, or Attitash. But as captain, I'm probably picking Attitash. Maybe not the Attitash of three years ago, but the Attitash that just got back from Chairlift Camp and can now offer a true, modern ski experience across its two mountains.But, carve away the cosmetics, and the truth is that Attitash is an incredible ski mountain. That 1,750 vertical feet is all fall line, consistent, beautiful cruisers up and down. It's not the steepest mountain, or the snowiest, or the most convenient to get to – you'll drive past Waterville and Loon and Cannon to get there (or not, Route Expert Bro; save it for your Powder DAWGZ WhatsApp chat). But from a pure, freefalling skiing point of view, it's among the best in the east. Just maybe don't show up at 11 a.m. on a Saturday.Podcast NotesOn the Top Notch DoubleI'm not sure if anyone ever really loved Attitash's Summit Triple, but the removal of the parallel Top Notch double in 2018 intensified focus on the summit lift's shortcomings. Here's where Top Notch ran (Lift 1 far looker's left):No one has ever really given me a good answer as to why former owner Peak Resorts removed that lift without a backup plan, but the timing could not have been worse – the Summit Triple suffered a series of catastrophic mechanical failures in late 2018 and early 2019, effectively shuttering the upper part of Attitash Peak for the bulk of that ski season.Anyway, once Peak removed the lift, the liftline stayed on the trailmap, suggesting that it may join the official trail network at some point:But the liftline slowly faded:This year, the old ghost line is gone completely:On the shared Flying Yankee-Attitash Summit Triple towerAn engineering quirk of the Summit Triple is that it shared a tower with the Flying Yankee high-speed quad, which crossed below the older lift:So what happened to that tower? We discuss it in the podcast.On the train from North ConwayEventually, U.S. America will have to figure out better ways to tie cities to its mountains. One of the best ways to do this is also one of the oldest: trains. Swartz and I briefly discuss the train that runs from downtown North Conway and drops you at the Attitash base. I looked into this a bit more, and unfortunately it's more of a novelty than a practical commuter service at this point. It's expensive ($40 per person roundtrip for coach), slow (the train ride takes around half an hour, compared to a 16-minute drive), and inconvenient, with the first trains arriving at the mountain around 11 a.m. and the latest one departing the mountain at 2:40. Not a great ski day, and the schedule is, for now, fairly limited, running weekends and holidays from the day after Christmas to late February. You can book rides and see details here.On the Attitash masterplanAttitash, like all ski areas that sit partially or fully on Forest Service land, is required to file an updated masterplan every so often. Unlike the highly organized western Forest Service divisions, however, which often have their ski area masterplans neatly organized online (three cheers for Colorado's White River National Forest), eastern districts rarely bother. So, while we discuss the mountain's masterplan, I couldn't find it, and the ski area couldn't readily provide it.On the Mystery of the Missing GladesCirca 2011, Attitash's trailmap called out several named glades on Bear Peak:By 2020, 10 marked glades appeared across both peaks, though Attitash had removed their names:By last season, all of them had disappeared:But this year, some (but not all) of the legacy glades, are back:What's going on? We discuss this in the podcast.The Storm publishes year-round, and guarantees 100 articles per year. This is article 101/100 in 2023, and number 487 since launching on Oct. 13, 2019.

If there's such a thing of stealing victory from the jaws of defeat, then West Virginia's football team did it Saturday night against Baylor. The Mountaineers, without timeouts and the loss of star center Zach Frazier, engineered a game-winning touchdown drive to defeat the Bears 34-31.The win gives WVU (8-4, 6-3) a fourth place finish in the Big 12. That's 10 spots better than their preseason prediction of a last place finish. In this episode, the "Guys" recap the game and the significance of the victory. They also discuss the Mountaineer basketball victory over Bellarmine. Listener questions and comments complete the show.

Waco, Texas has not been a friendly place for the West Virginia football team. The Mountaineers have just one victory in the city where Doctor Pepper was invented. On Saturday, WVU will try to earn its second Waco win over the struggling Bears. It's a matchup between two teams heading in different directions. The Mountaineers have won three of their last four games, while Baylor has lost four straight. To make matters worse, the Bears will also be without starting quarterback Blake Shapen who suffered an injury in last week's loss to TCU.In this episode, the “Guys” preview the game and present the key analytics in the matchup. The crew also discusses the Mountaineer basketball team's Florida trip and Sunday's matchup with Bellarmine.Listener questions and comments complete the episode.

Kristen K. Ciombor, MD, MSCI, an assistant professor in the Division of Hematology/Oncology in the Department of Medicine at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, recently spoke at an Around the Practice discussion regarding updates in the world of metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC). In this episode of the ONCOLOGY® On the Go Podcast, she discusses treatment updates, molecular testing options, and emerging targets in CRC. Ciombor also highlighted ongoing research in the space, including the phase 3 BREAKWATER (NCT04607421)1 trial and the phase 3 MOUNTAINEER-03 (NCT05253651)2 trial. She also discussed some of the most important presentations from the 2023 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress, including those covering the phase 2 MOUNTAINEER study (NCT03043313)3 and the phase 3 KEYNOTE-811 trial (NCT03615326).4 Additionally, she spoke about her work in the phase 2 ECOG-ACRIN trial (NCT04751370) assessing neoadjuvant nivolumab (Opdivo) plus ipilimumab (Yervoy) in patients with microsatellite instability-high or mismatch repair deficient rectal cancer.5 “I'm hoping that we see more treatment options for patients [and that] we identify more patient subtypes that we can target and find actionable alterations for,” Ciombor said.

It was a perfect day in so many ways. Don Nehlen, the winningest coach in school history, had his name immortalized on the same day the Mountaineers routed the University of Cincinnati. The fact that Nehlen's first college coaching job was at Cincinnati and his first victory at WVU was against Cincinnati made the day even more memorable. Oh yeah, by the way, the Mountaineer victory gurantees WVU a winning season and gives them a chance to finish with nine wins. Not bad for the team predicted to finish dead last in the Big 12.

 This second part of our interview really hits home. For the first time is US history the average American is spending more than 30% of income on rent! There is a shortage of about 5 to 7 million units providing affordable housing in the United States. So then how do these families afford to pay for groceries, gas, healthcare, and education for their children. When people are moving constantly throughout their lives it effects the psychology, stability, and safety of that household. This is something that we need to understand as a culture and be able to provide more stability in this world and it starts with the housing. Bo Parfet takes time to dive into what is going to happen over the next 5 years in the homeless and unhoused population. Everyone is pointing fingers at all the trades and builders, but really it is something even deeper than just the cost of developing these units. There is so so much to this second half of the interview that is absolutely incredible!! This turned into an amazing real estate conversation and we absolutely had a breakthrough.

The fellas hop up on to THE PORCH to join Blain as they attempt to put Oklahoma behind us & move ON to CINCINNATI. We discuss all things Mountaineer football through a myriad of topics including a quick look into the Jimbo craze.

Hey there, Tony Taylor here!

On this week's Got Your Eers On? we're back and we're talking about WVU basketball in addition to WVU football, unfortunately this was a rough week to be talking about either one. WVU football travels to Norman and gets absolutely smoked by the Sooners and QB Dillon Gabriel's record setting 8 touchdowns. We also talk about the chances of Jimbo Fisher joining the WVU coaching staff. Meanwhile, WVU basketball falls to the Monmouth Hawks inside the Coliseum as Monmouth's Xavier Rice leads all scorers with 30 points. We're trying to decide how the last two weeks of football shake out, as well as where the basketball team goes from here. Join us for all this and more on this week's episode of Got Your Eers On!

The final scheduled game between West Virginia and No. 17 Oklahoma is full of intrigue. Will the Mountaineer offense continue to roll? How will the Sooners respond after two unexpected losses? Those are just a few of the many questions surrounding Saturday night's encounter in Norman. Each team has won with a walk-off field goal in the last two meetings, but Oklahoma is a double-digit favorite this year. WVU's last win in Norman came in 1982 quarterback Jeff Hostetler's debut as a Mountaineer. In this episode, the "Guys" analyze the matchup and give their keys to the game. Listener questions and comments complete the show.

In the next three years, Australian, Allie Pepper has her sights set on climbing 14 of the world's highest mountains without supplementary oxygen. She has already completed two in the last couple of months. Allie Pepper says doing a technical mountaineering course in New Zealand over 20 years ago changed the direction of her life and firmed up her addiction to thin air. She experienced a set back to her guiding business and mountain climbing a couple of years ago. The debilitating symptoms of early onset menopause had her fearing her career in the mountains could be over, but treatment has her back on track.

It was a night that Mountaineer fans will cherish, and BYU fans will try to forget. West Virginia played its best overall game of the season as it ran over the Cougars to claim bowl eligibility. The Mountaineers (5-4, 4-2) scored on their first two drives to set the stage for a 37-7 triumph.WVU's running attack was again the key. The Mountaineers rolled up 336 rushing yards, as sophomore CJ Donaldson and freshman Jaheim White each eclipsed the 100-yard mark. In this episode, the "Guys" explain what it all means and breakdown the individual grades for players. Listener texts and comments complete the show.

Today I pick the brain of the amazing Jost Kobusch is a German mountaineer who spent two seasons on Everest trying to ascend the legendarily difficult West Ridge route and the Hornbein Couloir alone. And did I mention that he wasn't using supplemental oxygen and attempting this in the middle of the brutal Himalayan winter?  We covered a TON of interesting topics, including Why do things the hardest way? His closest call in the mountains The dangers of the Khumbu Icefall Getting hit by an avalanche at Everest Base Camp His preferred diet for performance at high altitude Training for high altitude Dealing with injuries And more I hope you enjoy this!  Share it with a friend if you do! Stephan Kesting P.S. In 2015 Jost was about to climb Everest when an earthquake triggered an avalanche that destroyed Everest Base Camp.  Here's the footage he filmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JC_wIWUC2U P.P.S. At age 21 Jost became the youngest person to solo Ama Dablam, a 6812 meter mountain in the Himalayas.  Here's a documentary about that climb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVG9U8UoT2I P.P.P.S.

Mountaineer basketball head coach Josh Eilert recaps the first week of practice; WVU - TCU football preview continues

Mission accomplished.The Mountaineer football team not only snapped a four-game losing streak to Texas Tech on Saturday, it also swept its three-game homestand.In weather that felt more like November than September, the WVU defense silenced a Red Raiders offense that had averaged 35-points per game. In this episode, the "Guys" breakdown the analytics to show how WVU won the game despite losing several key statistical categories. Listener questions and comments complete the episode.

Steward Baylor Jr. joins us fresh off of an Overall Win where he was able to regain the points lead heading into the penultimate round of the series. 

The lights were bright. The crowd was LOUD. And, West Virginia lost its starting quarterback to injury on its sixth play of the game. Problem? Actually, not at all. The Mountaineers displayed the grit and physicality required to win a Backyard Brawl on their way to a 17-6 victory. It was an old-school encounter between the two rivals. Neither team threw for over 100 yards while combining for 87 rush attempts. Key turnovers by Pitt produced 10 of WVU's points and West Virginia's defense held the Panthers to just two field goals. In this episode, the "Guys" breakdown the game and share their thoughts on what it all means for the Mountaineer program. Listener texts and comments complete the episode.

It's time to avenge a loss for the West Virginia University football team. Last season's turnover-induced defeat at Pitt has lingered within the Mountaineer program. It was the one that got away. On Saturday night in a sold-out Milan Puskar Stadium, WVU will get its chance for revenge in the 106th chapter of the Backyard Brawl. Rivalry aside, it's the first Saturday night home game since 2016. Throw in a national television audience on ABC and chances are the atmosphere will be electric. In this episode, the "Guys" breakdown the game's analytics and provide the keys to victory for West Virginia. Listener questions and comments complete the show.

The Big 12 College Experience releases the Week 3 Game of the Week in the Big 12. Ryan McIntyre, Rush Bishop, and Troy Chewning discuss the biggest headlines headed into one of the best rivalries in College Football: The Backyard Brawl. How big is this primetime game in Morgantown for Neal Brown in his 5th season? Can Garrett Greene lead this offense to a must win if Pitt stacks the box to stop the run? Will CJ Donaldson and this talented WVU running back room have success again against the Panthers? Can this West Virginia defensive line really get after the Pitt offensive line like Cincinnati did on Saturday? How wild will the atmosphere in Morgantown be with the Backyard Brawl returning for the first time since 2011? How will Pat Narduzzi get his team to regroup coming off the disappointing loss on Saturday at home? Can Phil Jurkovec play much better in the hostile environment in Morgantown? How will Pitt attack this Mountaineer ground game with their defensive schemes? The guys were joined by Pick Dundee to preview this matchup and give out his official Backyard Brawl prediction as well as other Big 12 matchups this weekend.

Crum and former Mountaineer player and fan Justin "Whitey" Williams talk Duquesne, various eras of Mountaineer football, Neal Brown and the Backyard Brawl. Regular scheduled program will be posted on Thursday night.

What a difference a week makes. Last Saturday, the Mountaineer football team was a three-touchdown underdog at No. 7 Penn State. This week, the Mountaineers are the heavy favorite to romp over visiting Duquesne. It's the first of three straight at home for the Mountaineers, who need to correct several issues that slowed them last week in State College. In this episode, the "Guys" discuss what will qualify as a successful outing against the Dukes, and what's needed before WVU hosts Pitt next weekend. Listener questions and comments complete the show.

Josh Eilert has finally been able to take a deep breath. Finally, there's a sense of calm after the most tumultous season in West Virginia Universtiy basketball history. The departure of Bob Huggins and unexpected loss of several players made WVU basketball a national story of dysfunction this summer. The new man in charge, at least for this season, is the only staff member that lasted throughout Huggins' 16 seasons at West Virginia. Amidst the chaos, Eilert has successfully replenished the Mountaineer roster and worked tirelessly to build fractured player relationships.In this episode, Eilert explains his plan for the upcoming season, and how his retooled coaching staff and players are preparing for the challenges that lie ahead.

Is that glass half full or half empty? That's the question up for debate following West Virginia's season debut at No. 7 Penn State. Like any game, there was good and bad. Now the question becomes how this Mountaineer team will develop. In this episode, Brad and Tony breakdown the game and reveal the objective grades for both offense and defense from Pro Football Focus. Listener questions and comments complete the show.

It's time! The 2023 Mountaineer football season opens Saturday night at No. 7 Penn State. (It's going to be LOUD)The frenzy in Happy Valley for the upcoming season is extremely high. The Nittany Lions went 10-2 last season. They ended the year with five straight wins, which included a Rose Bowl whacking of Utah. With two of the nation's top running backs, Penn State has explosive abilities on offense. However, the Penn State defense may be even better. The Lions have future NFL players roaming around in a unit that allowed just 18 points-per-game last season. In this episode, Brad and Tony talk with veteran Penn State play-by-play voice Steve Jones to get his insight into Saturday's game. Listener questions and comments complete the episode. The "Guys" return Thursday with their analytical breakdown of the opening game.
