Part 1 of today's Morning Show is a newly recorded interview with Hope Larson in which she talks about "Very Bad at Math- a Very Graphic Novel." Her main character is an otherwise successful high school student who struggles terribly with math. It turns out that she - like the author- suffers from a condition called Dyscalculia (similar to Dyslexia, but involving the swapping of numerals rather than letters.) Part 2- an archival interview from 2019, features Professor John D. Stein talking about his book "How Math Explains the World- A Guide to the Power of Numbers from Car Repairs to Modern Physics."

Join me in this episode of Reading To Connect as I sit down with Hope Larson, New York Times bestselling and multi-Eisner award-winning cartoonist, to talk about her new middle-grade graphic novel, Very Bad at Math.We dive into the power of shared reading experiences, the impact of learning differences like dyscalculia, and how books can help kids feel seen. Hope opens up about her personal struggles with math, the pressure of perfectionism, and how her own experiences shaped Verity, the book's protagonist. We also explore friendship dynamics in middle school, the challenges of asking for help, and why kids' interests—including comics and pop culture—are key to connection.What You'll Learn:
Donald Trump…. Quote: Using Military Force might be necessary… to take back the Panama Canal and occupy Greenland. ??? A Very Bad idea. Hitler would take both using MILITARY Force.
So a jobs report came out... and it is bad... like VERY BAD and Dr. Dave Brat joins Jeff to break it all down.

Here's a 2007 map that's substantively the same, but with higher resolution:View historic Norway Mountain trailmaps on skimap.org.Why I interviewed himWhat a noble act: to resurrect a dead ski area. I'll acknowledge that a ski area is just a business. But it's also a (usually) irreplaceable community asset, an organ without which the body can live but does not function quite right. We read about factories closing up and towns dying along with them. This is because the jobs leave, yes, but there's an identity piece too. As General Motors pulled out of Saginaw and Flint in the 1980s and ‘90s, I watched, from a small town nearby, those places lose a part of their essence, their swagger and character. People were proud to have a GM factory in town, to have a GM job with a good wage, to be a piece of a global something that everyone knew about.Something less profound but similar happens when a ski area shuts down. I've written before about Apple Mountain, the 200-vertical-foot bump in Freeland, Michigan where I spent my second-ever day on skis:[Apple Mountain] has been closed since 2017. Something about the snowmaking system that's either too hard or too expensive to fix. That leaves Michigan's Tri-Cities – Midland, Bay City, and Saginaw, with a total metro population approaching 400,000 – with no functioning ski area. Snow Snake is only about 40 minutes north of Midland, and Mt. Holly is less than an hour south of Saginaw. But Apple Mountain, tucked into the backwoods behind Freeland, sat dead in the middle of the triangle. It was accessible to almost any schoolkid, and, humble as it was, stoked that fire for thousands of what became lifelong skiers.What skiing has lost without Apple Mountain is impossible to calculate. I would argue that it was one of the more important ski areas anywhere. Winters in mid-Michigan are long, cold, snowy, and dull. People need something to do. But skiing is not an obvious solution: this is the flattest place you can imagine. To have skiing – any skiing – in the region was a joy and a novelty. There was no redundancy, no competing ski center. And so the place was impossibly busy at all times, minting skiers who would go off to start ski newsletters and run huge resorts on the other side of the country.When the factory closes, the jobs go, and often nothing replaces them. Losing a ski area is similar. The skiers go, and nothing replaces them. The kids just do other things. They never become skiers.Children of Men, released in 2006, envisions a world 18 years after women have stopped having babies. Humanity lives on, but has collectively lost its soul. Violence and disorder reign. The movie is heralded for its extended single-shot battle scenes, but Children of Men's most remarkable moment is when a baby, born in the midst of a firefight, momentarily paralyzes the war as her protectors parade her to sanctuary:Humanity needs babies like winter needs skiers. But we have to keep making more.Yes, I'm being hyperbolic about the importance of resurrecting a lost ski area. If you're new here, that part of My Brand™. A competing, similar-sized ski center, Pine Mountain, is only 20 minutes from Norway. But that's 13 miles, which for a kid may as well be 1,000. Re-opening Norway is going to seed new skiers. Some of them will ski four times and forget about it and some of them will take spring break trips to Colorado when they get to college and a few of them may wrap their lives around it.And if they don't ever ski? Well, who knows. I almost didn't become a skier. I was 14 when my buddy said “Hey let's take the bus to Mott Mountain after school,” and I said “OK,” and even though I was Very Bad at it, I went again a few weeks later at Apple Mountain. Both of those hills are closed now. If I were growing up in Central Michigan now, would I have become a skier? What would I be if I wasn't one? How awful would that be?What we talked aboutBack from the dead; the West Michigan snowbelt; the power of the ski family; Caberfae; Pando's not for sale; when you decide to buy a lost ski area; how lost Norway was almost lost forever; the small business mindset; surprise bills; what a ski area looks like when it's sat idle for six years; piecing a sold-off snowmaking system back together; Norway's very unique lift fleet; glades; the trailmap; Norway's new logo; the Wild West of websites; the power of social media; where to even begin when you buy a ski area; the ups and downs of living at your ski area; shifting from renovation to operation; Norway's uneven history and why this time is different; is there enough room for Pine Mountain and Norway in such a small market?; why night skiing won't return on a regular basis this winter; send the school buses; it doesn't snow much but at least it stays cold; can Norway revitalize its legendary ski school?; and why Norway joined the Freedom Pass. Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewHello Mr. Television Network Executive. Thank you for agreeing to hear my pitch. I understand I have 10 minutes with you, which is perfect, because what I'm proposing will take no fewer than five years, while simultaneously taking 10 years off both our lives. Because my show is called Who Wants to Own a Ski Area?The show works like this: contestants will navigate a series of logic puzzles, challenges, and obstacle courses. These will act as elimination rounds. We can base everyone at an abandoned ski resort, like in The Last of Us, where they will live while games materialize at random. Some examples:* It's 3 a.m. Everyone is sleeping. Alarms blare. A large structure has caught fire. The water has been cut off, but somehow you're standing in a knee-deep flood. Your firefighting arsenal consists of a bucket. You call the local volunteer fire department, which promises you they will “be along whenever Ed gits up here with the gay-rage door keys.” Whoever keeps the building from melting into a pile of ashes wins.* It's state inspection day. All machinery must be in working order. We present each contestant with a pile of sprockets, hoses, wires, clips, and metal parts of varying sizes and thickness. Their instructions are to rebuild this machine. We do not tell them what the machine is supposed to be. The good news is that the instruction manual is sitting right there. The bad news is that it's written in Polish. The pile is missing approximately seven to 20 percent of the machine's parts, without which the device may operate, but perhaps not in a way compatible with human life. Whoever's put-together machine leads to the fewest deaths advances to the next round.* The contestants are introduced to Big Jim. Big Jim has worked at the ski area since 1604. He has been through 45 ownership groups, knows everything about the mountain, and everyone on the mountain. Because of this, Big Jim knows you can't fire him lest you stoke a rebellion of labor and/or clientele. And he can tell you which pipes are where without you having to dig up half the mountain. But Big Jim keeps as much from getting done as he actually does. He resists the adoption of “fads” such as snowmaking, credit cards, and the internet. The challenge facing contestants is to get Big Jim to send a text message. He asks why the letters are arranged “all stupid” on the keyboard. The appearance of an emoji causes him to punch the phone several times and heave it into the woods.* Next we introduce the contestants to Fran and Freddy Filmore from Frankenmuth. The Filmores have been season passholders since the Lincoln Administration. They have nine kids in ski school, each of which has special dietary needs. Their phones are loaded with photos of problems: of liftlines, of dirt patches postholing trails, of an unsmiling parking attendant, of abandoned boot bags occupying cafeteria tables, of skis and snowboards and poles scattered across the snow rather than being placed on the racks that are right there for goodness sake. The Filmores want answers. The Filmores also want you to bring back Stray Cat Wednesdays, in which you could trade a stray cat for a lift ticket. But the Filmores are not actually concerned with solutions. No matter the quickness or efficacy of a remedy, they still “have concerns.” Surely you have 90 minutes to discuss this. Then the fire alarm goes off.* Next, the contestents will meet Hella Henry and his boys Donuts, Doznuts, Deeznuts, Jam Box, and 40 Ounce. HH and the Crushnutz Krew, as they call themselves, are among your most loyal customers. Though they are all under the age of 20, it is unclear how any of them could attend school or hold down a job, since they are at your hill for 10 to 12 hours per day. During that time, the crew typically completes three runs. They spend the rest of their time vaping, watching videos on their phones, and sitting six wide just below a blind lip in the terrain park. The first contestant to elicit a response from the Crushnutz Krew that is anything other than “that's chill” wins.The victor will win their very own ski area, complete with a several-thousand person Friends of [Insert Ski Area Name] group where 98 percent of the posts are complaints about the ski area. The ski center will be functional, but one popped bolt away from catastrophe in four dozen locations. The chairlifts will be made by a company that went out of business in 1912. The groomer will be towed by a yak. The baselodge will accommodate four percent of the skiers who show up on a busy day. The snowmaking “system” draws its water from a birdbath. Oh, and it's in the middle of nowhere in the middle of winter, and they're going to have to find people to work there.Oh, you love it Mr. Television Network Executive? That's so amazing. Now I can quit my job and just watch the money pile up. What do I do for a living? Well, I run a ski area.Hoppe won the contest. And I wanted to wish him luck.What I got wrongI lumped Ski Brule in with Pine Mountain as ski areas that are near Norway. While only 20-ish minutes separate Pine and Norway, Brule is in fact more than an hour away.Why you should ski Norway MountainYou can ski every run on Norway Mountain in one visit. There's something satisfying in that. You can drive off at the end of the day and not feel like you missed anything.There are hundreds of ski areas in North America like this. Most of them manage, somehow, to stuff the full spectrum of ski experience into an area equal to one corner of one of Vail's 90 or whatever Legendary Back Bowls. There are easy runs and hard runs. Long runs and short runs. Narrow runs and wide runs. Runs under the lifts and runs twisting through the trees. Some sort of tree-skiing. Some sort of terrain park. A little windlip that isn't supposed to be a cornice but skis like one, 9-year-olds leaping off it one after the next and turning around to watch each other after they land. Sometimes there is powder. Sometimes there is ice. Sometimes the grooming is magnificent. Sometimes the snow really sucks. Over two to four hours and 20 to 30 chairlift rides, you can fully absorb what a ski area is and why it exists.This is an experience that is more difficult to replicate at our battleship resorts, with 200 runs scribbled over successive peaks like a medieval war map. I ski these resorts differently. Where are the blacks? Where are the trees? Where are the bumps? I go right for them and I don't bother with anything else. And that eats up three or four days even at a known-cruiser like Keystone. In a half-dozen trips into Little Cottonwood Canyon, I've skied a top-to-bottom groomer maybe twice. Because skiing groomers at Alta-Snowbird is like ordering pizza at a sushi restaurant. Like why did you even come here?But even after LCC fluff, when I've descended back to the terrestrial realm, I still like skiing the Norway Mountains of the land. Big mountains are wonderful, but they come with big hassle, big crowds, big traffic, big attitudes, big egos. At Norway you can pull practically up to the lifts and be skiing seven minutes later, after booting up and buying your lift ticket. You can ski right onto the lift and the guy in the Carhartt will nod at you and if you're just a little creative and thoughtful every run will feel distinct. And you can roll into the chalet and grab a pastie and bomb the whole mountain again after lunch.And it will all feel different on that second lap. When there are 25 runs instead of 250, you absorb them differently. The rush to see it all evaporates. You can linger with it, mingle with the mountain, talk to it in a way that's harder up top. It's all so awesome in its own way.Podcast NotesOn Pando Ski CenterI grew up about two hours from the now-lost Pando Ski Center, but I never skied there. When I did make it to that side of Michigan, I opted to ski Cannonsburg, the still-functioning multi-lift ski center seven minutes up the road. Of course, in the Storm Wandering Mode that is my default ski orientation nowadays, I would have simply hit both. But that's no longer possible, because Cannonsburg purchased Pando in 2015 and subsequently closed it. Probably forever.Hoppe and I discuss this a bit on the pod. He actually tried to buy the joint. Too many problems with it, he was told. So he bought some of the ski area's snowguns and other equipment. Better that at least something lives on.Pando didn't leave much behind. The only trailmap I can find is part of this Ski write-up from February 1977:Apparently Pando was a onetime snowboarding hotspot. Here's a circa 2013 video of a snowboarder doing snowboarderly stuff:On CannonsburgWhile statistically humble, with just 250 vertical feet, Cannonsburg is the closest skiing to metropolitan Grand Rapids, Michigan, population 1.08 million. That ensures that the parks-oriented bump is busy at all times:On CaberfaeOne of Hoppe's (and my) favorite ski areas is Caberfae. This was my go-to when I lived in Central Michigan, as it delivered both decent vert (485 feet), and an interesting trail network (the map undersells it):The Meyer family has owned and operated Caberfae for decades, and they constantly improve the place. GM Tim Meyer joined me on the pod a few years back to tell the story.On Norway's proximity to Pine MountainNorway sits just 23 minutes down US 2 from Pine Mountain. The two ski areas sport eerily similar profiles: both measure 500 vertical feet and run two double chairs and one triple. Both face the twin challenges of low snowfall (around 60 inches per season), and a relatively thin local population base (Iron Mountain's metro area is home to around 32,500 people). It's no great surprise that Norway struggled in previous iterations. Here's a look at Pine:On Big TupperI mention Big Tupper as a lost ski area that will have an extra hard time coming back since it's been stripped (I think completely), of snowmaking. This ski area isn't necessarily totally dead: the lifts are still standing, and the property is going to auction next month, but it will take tens of millions to get the place running again. It was at one time a fairly substantial operation, as this circa 1997 trailmap shows:On Sneller chairliftsNorway runs two Sneller double chairs. Only one other Sneller is still spinning, at Ski Sawmill, a short and remote Pennsylvania bump. Lift Blog catalogued the machine here. It wasn't spinning when I skied Sawmill a couple of years ago, but I did snag some photos:On Norway's new logoIn general, animals make good logos. Hoppe designed this one himself:On social mediaHoppe has done a nice job of updating Norway's rebuild progress on social media, mostly via the mountain's Facebook page. Here are links to a few other social accounts we discussed:* Skiers and Snowboarders of the Midwest is a big champion of ski areas of all sizes throughout the region. The Midwest Skiers group is pretty good too.* Magic Mountain, Vermont, an underdog for decades, finally dug itself out of the afterthoughts pile at least in part due to the strength of its Instagram and Twitter presence.* The formerly dumpy Holiday Mountain, New York, has meticulously documented its rebuild under new ownership on Instagram and Facebook.On NeighborsMy 17-year-old brain could not comprehend the notion that two ski areas operated across the street from – and independent of – one another. But there they were: Nub's Nob and Boyne Highlands (now The Highlands), each an opposite turn off Pleasantview Road.We turned right, to Nub's, because we were in high school and because we all made like $4.50 an hour and because Nub's probably had like 10-Cent Tuesdays or something.I've since skied both mountains many times, but the novelty has never faded. Having one of something so special as a ski area in your community is marvelous. Having two is like Dang who won the lottery? There are, of course, examples of this all over the country – Sugarbush/Mad River Glen, Stowe/Smugglers' Notch, Alta/Snowbird, Timberline/Meadows/Skibowl – and it's incredible how distinct each one's identity remains even with shared borders and, often, passes.On UP ski areasMichigan's Upper Peninsula is a very particular animal. Only three percent of the state's 10 million residents live north of the Mackinac (pronounced Mackinaw) Bridge. Lower Peninsula skiers are far more likely to visit Colorado or Vermont than their far-north in-state ski areas, which are a 10-plus hour drive from the more populous southern tiers. While Bohemia's ultra-cheap pass and rowdy terrain have somewhat upset that equation, the UP remains, for purposes of skiing and ski culture, essentially a separate state.My point is that it's worth organizing the state's ski areas in the way that they practically exist in skiers minds. So I've separated the UP from the Lower Peninsula. Since Michigan is also home to an outsized number of town ropetows, I've also split surface-lift-only operations into their own categories:On last winter being very bad with record-low skier visitsSkier visits were down in every region of the United States last winter, but they all but collapsed in the Midwest, with a 26.7 percent plunge, according to the annual Kottke Demographic Report. Michigan alone was down nearly a half million skier visits. Check out these numbers:For comparison, overall skier numbers dropped just six percent in the Northeast, and five percent in the Rockies.The Storm publishes year-round.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Hardshipification, published by Jonathan Moregård on May 28, 2024 on LessWrong. When I got cancer, all of my acquaintances turned into automatons. Everyone I had zero-to-low degrees of social contact with started reaching out, saying the exact same thing: "If you need to talk to someone, I'm here for you". No matter how tenuous the connection, people pledged their emotional support - including my father's wife's mother, who I met a few hours every other Christmas. It was only a bit of testicle cancer - what's the big deal? No Swedish person had died from it for 20 years, and the risk of metastasis was below 1%. I settled in for a few months of suck - surgical ball removal and chemotherapy. My friends, who knew me well, opted to support me with dark humour. When I told my satanist roommate that I had a ball tumour, he offered to "pop" it for me - it works for pimples, right? To me, this response was pure gold, much better than being met with shallow displays of performative pity. None of the acquaintances asked me what I wanted. They didn't ask me how I felt. They all settled for a socially appropriate script, chasing me like a hoard of vaguely condescending zombies. A Difference in Value Judgements Here's my best guess at the origins of their pity: 1. A person hears that I have a case of the ball cancer 2. This makes the person concerned - cancer is Very Bad, and if you have it you are a victim future survivor. 3. The person feels a social obligation to be there for me "in my moment of weakness", and offer support in a way that is supposed to be as non-intrusive as possible. Being a Stoic, I rejected the assumption in step #2 as an invalid value judgement. The tumor in my ball didn't mean I was in hardship. The itch after chemotherapy sucked ball(s), and my nausea made it impossible to enjoy the mountains of chocolate people gifted. These hardships were mild, in the grander scheme of things. I consciously didn't turn them into a Traumatic Event, something Very Bad, or any such nonsense. I had fun by ridiculing the entire situation, waiting it out while asking the doctors questions like: Can identical twin brothers transmit testicle cancer through sodomy? Can I keep my surgically removed ball? (For storing in a jar of formaldehyde) Does hair loss from chemotherapy proceed in the same stages as male pattern baldness? Hardshipification I was greatly annoyed at the people who made a Big Deal out of the situation, "inventing" a hardship out of a situation that merely sucked. Other people's pity didn't in any way reflect on my personal experience. I didn't play along and ended up saying things like: "Thanks, but I have friends I can talk to if I need it". Nowadays, I might have handled it more gracefully - but part of me is glad I didn't. It's not up to the person with cancer to handle other people's reactions. I find pity and "hardshipification" detestable - adding culturally anchored value judgements to a situation that's already tricky to navigate. This extends beyond cancer, applying to things like rape, racism, death of loved ones, breakups and similar. It's impossible to know how someone reacts to things like this. Some of them might have culturally appropriate reaction patterns, while others might feel very different things. 7 Some people don't feel sad over their recently dead grandma. Maybe grandma was a bitch - you never know. Assuming that they feel sad puts a burden on them - an expectation that they must relate to. They might judge themselves for not feeling sad, dealing with cognitive dissonance while tidying up grandma's affairs. I have a friend who got raped, was annoyed and did some breathing exercises to calm down. Convincing her that it was a Big Deal isn't necessarily a good idea - sometimes people face culturally loaded events without being damaged. A ...
I just love chatting with folks that love comics and one thing I can tell you about today's guest on the Cryptid Creator Corner, is that Paul Tobin LOVES comics. Paul is on the podcast today discussing the new Mad Cave Studios series The Mammoth. The Mammoth is a fantastic new horror mystery series. Arjuna Susini's artwork is incredible. Paul and I chat about the development of the series, his journey creating comics, as well as his own comic book collection, plus I got to tell him how much I loved Heist or How to Steal a Planet. Paul was such a joy to talk to and I feel like I learned so much, not just about Paul, but about writing comics. I'm already looking forward to having Paul on again and he has some other great projects coming out. Be sure to check out his website so you don't miss any of them: https://www.paultobin.net. From the publisher Something is wrong in the deep forests of Broke Tree Valley. Something deadly. Something mammoth. The legends speak of something larger than human comprehension…A monstrous phantom that disappears for decades at a time. Now, it's back, and things are about to go Very Bad if four people—Olivia, Jess, Kokoro, and Mason, scientists who have come to the small city of Kasbro to investigate a bizarre series of seismic activities in this heavily forested valley—can't put the Mammoth to rest. One real problem with this is…Olivia's dead. Our episode sponsor Play TTRPG games? Make sure to check out our partner Arkenforge.

Summary In this episode, Thiago introduces 40 words that can help intermediate and advanced English learners communicate with more confidence, accuracy, clarity, and awareness. He emphasizes the importance of expanding vocabulary range and using different words to sound more advanced. The words include common expressions like 'very good', 'very bad', 'nice', and 'interesting', but Thiago encourages learners to explore other alternatives. By using a variety of words, learners can improve their English skills and effectively convey their ideas. Takeaways Expanding vocabulary range is crucial for sounding more advanced in English. Using different words can improve communication by adding more nuance and clarity. Common expressions like 'very good', 'very bad', 'nice', and 'interesting' can be replaced with alternative words. Learning and using alternative words helps learners convey their ideas with more confidence, accuracy, and awareness. Creating sentences with new vocabulary helps internalize the words.

RoseView the mountain stats overviewOwned by: The Buser familyLocated in: Incline Village, NevadaYear founded: 1964Pass affiliations: NoneReciprocal partners: NoneClosest neighboring ski areas: Sky Tavern (:03), Diamond Peak (:15), Northstar (:28), Homewood (:44), Palisades Tahoe (:45), Tahoe Donner (:48), Boreal (:49), Donner Ski Ranch (:51), Sugar Bowl (:52), Soda Springs (:53), Heavenly (:56). Travel times vary considerably given weather conditions, time of day, and time of year.Base elevation: 7,900 feet (bottom of Chuter lift)Summit elevation: 9,700 feetVertical drop: 1,800 feetSkiable Acres: 1,200+Average annual snowfall: 350 inchesTrail count: 70+ (10% expert double black, 40% black, 30% intermediate blue, 20% beginner green)Lift count: 8 (2 six-packs, 1 high-speed quad, 2 fixed-grip quads, 1 triple, 1 carpet, 1 “Little Mule”)View historic Mt. Rose trailmaps on skimap.org.Why I interviewed himThere's something so damn dramatic about skiing around Tahoe. The lake, yes, but it's also the Sierra Nevada, heaving and brutal, pitched as though crafted for skiing, evergreens loper-spaced apart. It's the snow, piled like pizza boxes in a hoarder's apartment, ever-higher, too much to count or comprehend (well, some years). It's the density, the always knowing that, like some American Alps, there is always another ski center past the one you're riding and the one you can see from there and the one you can see beyond that.Mt. Rose is one of just three Tahoe ski areas that sits fully on the Nevada side of the lake (the other two are Diamond Peak and Sky Tavern; Heavenly straddles the California-Nevada border). That whole Nevada thing can sap some of the Tahoe mystique. What is Nevada, after all, to most of us, but desert, dry, wide-open, and empty? I once slipped into a hallucinogenic state of borderline psychosis on a 122-degree drive Vegas-bound across Interstate 15. I was dead sober but sleep-deprived and in a truck with no air-conditioning the rippling distances tore my soul into potpourri and scattered it about the alien planet I became convinced I was crossing.But Nevada is a ski state, and Mt. Rose is its finest ski area. As the truest locals' bump on the block, it is a crucial piece of the Tahoe Zeitgeist, the place that tourists don't bother with, and that locals bother with specifically because of that fact.There are a handful of communities in America that count as their home bump a big, thrilling ski area that is not also a major tourist attraction. Bogus Basin, outside of Boise; Mt. Spokane, Washington; Montana Snowbowl, looming over Missoula. Where you can mainline the big-mountain experience sans the enervation of crowds. Mt. Rose is one of those places, a good, big ski area without all the overwhelm we've come to associate with them.What we talked aboutEarly-season openings; assessing the Lakeview chairlift upgrade after year one; why Mt. Rose doesn't operate into May; extending the ski day after Daylight Savings; could night skiing ever work at Mt. Rose?; living through 668 inches of snow; Ober Mountain; the upside of starting your career at a small ski area; the brilliance of Peak Resorts; where Vail went right and wrong in their acquisition of Peak; the existential challenges of Paoli Peaks; the Very Bad 2021-22 ski season at Attitash; fortress mentality; convincing Vail to upgrade the Attitash Summit Triple; what Gavrilets found when he showed up at Mt. Rose on Saturday of President's Weekend; how the Busers built Mt. Rose into a first-rate ski area; why the family considered selling Mt. Rose around 2017, and ultimately reversed course; committed to independence; “We're over $100 cheaper than Palisades for a full-day lift ticket”; how Slide Mountain, Mt. Rose, and Sky Tavern settled into their modern footprints; Mt. Rose's potential expansion; whether a ski connection between Sky Tavern and Mt. Rose could exist; future lift upgrade priorities; how The Chutes changed Mt. Rose's profile; slopeside lodging; destination potential?; the potential for a tram up to the ski area from Reno; and why Mt. Rose hasn't joined any multi-mountain passes.Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewFew ski areas have more aggressively modernized since the turn of the century than Mt. Rose. The mountain dropped its first sixer (Northwest Express), in the ground in 2000, and opened its second (Zephyr), the year it opened The Chutes, one of the most singular terrain pods in the American West. In the intervening years, Rose has shuffled around and modernized the remainder of its lifts, and last year dropped a high-speed quad in place of the old Lakeview triple. The snowmaking system is one of the best in Tahoe. Next up: an expansion across the highway to intermediate terrain that would hang over Sky Tavern.Like Arapahoe Basin, whose oldest chairlift is a 2007 Leitner-Poma fixed-grip quad, Mt. Rose has quietly modernized amid the giants that were destined to destroy it. This isn't supposed to be the story. The story is supposed to be Corporate Conglomerates Are Killing Skiing!!! But they're not. Mt. Rose proves that in Tahoe like A-Basin proves it on the I-70 mainline.Skiers in Reno could easily drive up to Northstar or Heavenly or Palisades Tahoe. But Gavrilets tells us that Mt. Rose is doing better than ever, in spite of the fact that the ski area has no slopeside lodging, no megapass affiliation, and no name recognition outside of a couple-hundred mile radius. Why do you suppose that is?Mt. Rose is a counterintuitive case-study in why so many assumptions about modern skiing are wrong. A place in the market exists for a family-owned and -operated ski area that focuses on delivering a good product at an inflation-adjusted price that would not make a time traveler from 1965 gasp with horror “But that costs more than my car!”I can't always tell you what's wrong with skiing, but I usually know what's right when I see it. And just about everything that Mt. Rose is doing feels exactly right.What I got wrongI mispronounced the name of Mt. Rose's owners, pronouncing “Buser” like “Bus-er” (wrong), rather than “Boozer” (right).Why you should ski Mt. RoseWell there are The Chutes:And all the beefcake lifts:And the 30-minute drive from the airport, meaning that when you fly in to ski Palisades or Heavenly, you can stop and clock a half day at Mt. Rose for $69:And the manageable liftlines, and the parking right at the base of the lifts, and the 350 inches of average annual snowfall. This may not be your ski Narnia, your endless empty, but it's a less-frantic version of whatever they have down the road.Podcast NotesOn three ski areas that were once one ski area that are now two ski areasLift-served skiing on Mt. Rose started with a chairlift strung up from what is now Sky Tavern ski area to what is now the Slide Bowl area of Mt. Rose:Mt. Rose broke off from the lower-mountain area by the time it opened as a separate entity in 1964. The lower-mountain became a non-profit, volunteer-run, learn-to-ski center called Sky Tavern, which continues to operate today:The larger ski area's modern-day footprint was, for several decades, two separate ski areas – one on the Slide Peak terrain and another in Mt. Rose proper:They combined in the late ‘80s:Then, in 2004, The Chutes opened, giving us the Mt. Rose we can ski today:On Ober MountainGavrilets began his career at Tennessee's only ski area, which sits above Gatlinburg. You can access it via tram from downtown, or you can drive up. It's a tiny place, but still has a respectable 600-foot vertical drop. It's an Indy Pass partner. Here's a trailmap:On Peak Resorts and the Peak PassGavrilets spent a good part of his career at Peak Resorts, which Vail purchased in whole in 2019. Here's what their portfolio looked like at its height. The New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania ski areas were included on the Peak Pass outright. You could ski the Midwest ski areas with the pass, but it was one of those “stop by the customer service desk to get a ticket” deals.On the Attitash Summit TripleGavrilets spent a good part of his tenure at Attitash making the case to Vail that the company needed to upgrade the Summit Triple. This past summer, the company finally did it, putting a high-speed quad in its place. That lift is scheduled to open soon, and I went into great detail on the project with Attitash General Manager Brandon Swartz at the 6:12 mark of our recent podcast conversation:On the density of Lake Tahoe skiingThe Tahoe region may have the densest concentration of ski areas in America, with 16 lift-served Alpine ski areas circling the lake. Here's a statistical breakdown of each:On Mt. Rose's history siteMt. Rose recently re-vamped the resort history page of its website. Check it out.On reconfiguring the trails around the Lakeview liftWhen Mt. Rose upgraded the Lakeview chairlift from a triple to a high-speed quad last year, they also reconfigured several trails around it:On Galena ski areaMt. Rose's trailmap shows a potential expansion down across the Mt. Rose highway. Gavrilets tells us that Powdr had attempted to build a standalone resort called Galena down there. I could't find any information on this, but it would be cool if Mt. Rose could activate this terrain:On Shane McConkey crushing The ChutesOn connecting Mt. Rose to Reno via tramWhile it hovers over mild-weather Reno, which averages 22 inches of snowfall per winter, Mt. Rose sits at a monstrous 8,260 feet. Bridging that distance requires navigating one hell of a winding access road:We discuss a potential aerial lift up from town in the podcast, but I'm not sure if it's feasible, cost-wise, as it's 13 air miles from the airport to the ski area. That's about the same distance as the main strip of casinos. Like Gavrilets says in the pod, “if this was Europe, it would already be built.”The Storm explores the world of lift-served skiing year-round.

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal and Jim Lakely are joined by entertainment writer Christian Toto for our annual end-of-year look at movies, TV, and pop culture. This was, by even the accounts of the suck-up mainstream entertainment press, a disastrous year for Hollywood. Disney Studios set records for box office bombs, and delivered them one after the other in 2023: “Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantummania”; “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”; “The Little Mermaid”; “Elemental”; “Haunted Mansion”; and “Wish.” Those productions alone, predicted to make billions, instead racked up at least $1 billion in losses for the once-infallible studio. And then there is Warner Bros., whose DC Comics Cinematic Universe tried its best to keep up in the bomb department with “Shazam! Fury of the Gods”; “The Flash”, “Blue Beetle”, and “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.” Those movies combined to nearly wipe out the studio's $1 billion profit from its smash hit “Barbie.” Have we just witnessed the death of the “big franchise” movie? Was it “woke” that killed the beast? What about the effect of the writers' and actors' strikes on Hollywood? It sure looks like the events of 2023 created a perfect storm that will either force modern Hollywood to start putting entertainment above “The Message,” or become culturally irrelevant. Speaking of that, with the success of foreign products – namely, “Godzilla Minus One” – that aim to entertain its audience instead of lecture and berate them, is Hollywood truly vulnerable long-term from foreign and independent productions? Finally, we will discuss the possibility that there is an emerging and growing generational creative gap in Hollywood. Do Gen Z and late Millennials “creatives” have the skills and acquired wisdom to create hit movies and run studios? Where is the Gen Z Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino, Spike Lee, or Jon Favreau – Gen Xers who created unique and compelling movies with broad appeal? We will talk all this, and more, with one of the best entertainment writers in the business, Christian Toto – who will also be able to offer some recommendations for good entertainment you might have missed.

Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting Johan Oviedo may need Tommy John Surgery for the Pirates. This is VERY BAD and the rotation depth is not there. Quinn Priester, Luis Ortiz, and Roansy Contreras don't inspire confidence. The Pirates need to add multiple starting pitchers and focus on it in free agency in trades. This changes a lot for the Bucs.
Hour 1: The Steelers are 6-3 and not turning the football over. Buffalo had 12 guys on the field when Denver missed a game-winning field goal! The Bills might not make the playoffs, while the Steelers are in a great spot. Josh Allen has an interception in six-straight games. Pickett has gone five-straight games without an interception. The Steelers are 10-1 when Kenny Pickett starts and closes the game without a turnover. Would the Bills have won against Denver if Kenny Pickett was their quarterback? Austin doesn't think you can be a true Super Bowl contender unless you have one of the top 5-7 quarterbacks. The Steelers are running the ball at a great clip now. They don't turn the ball over! The defense forces turnovers and Broderick Jones has helped the running game. The Raiders are better once they fire a coach for the second time in a few years. Dorin wants to see the Ravens beat the Bengals and stop Cincinnati's playoff chances. It further helps to try and eliminate a possible playoff team. The Bengals are lacking AFC wins and have a tough schedule to close the season. Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is reporting Johan Oviedo may need Tommy John Surgery for the Pirates.

OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODESUkraine — reports of drones grabbing wounded soldiers with claw-like appendage.

The war HAS come to Russia with daily suicide drone attacks (2:18)Govt Arson in Canada: People Steal Equipment to Fight Fires ThemselvesBack burns on a windy day done by government that then refuses to fight fires. Residents then steal government equipment and use it to fight fires themselves. You won't believe what government does NEXT to escalate… (21:00) Hawaiian Electric may go bankrupt as PG&E in California did after the Paradise fire. But it is RENEWABLE MANDATES that's driving the neglect of infrastructure and destroying reliability and affordability at the same time. (54:41)The first GOP debate is tonight and Larry Elder has a VERY LEGIT BEEF about being excluded at the last minute (1:15:26)Neither Trump NOR Biden want ANY debates.

Troy Nunes Is An Absolute Magician: For Syracuse Orange fans
The Syracuse Orange news never stops, so we're here to talk about it! In this week's edition of the Podcast, the guys talked about...

What's the deal with the New New Big East? HOMEFIELD APPAREL (Use Promo Code “NUNES23” for 15% off first purchase) We talk and speculate on Garrett Shrader's elbow injury and his “pitch count” for his return. We have a real QB backup battle supported by the pitch count on Shrader which is probably the most interesting competition in camp. Stefon Thompson's still injured. Is this bad for the Orange?

Jon Van Fleet joined the Americas Cardroom team in early 2021. The Austin, Texas native is no stranger to the world of online poker. Jon made a name for himself during the original online poker boom of the 2000s under the nickname ‘apestyles.' Just ask anyone who played online back in the day, and they'll tell you all about his inimitable playing style. Jon started playing poker around the time fellow ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker conquered the WSOP Main Event in 2003. In those days, Jon mostly played for fun with his fellow Texas Tech students. After quickly growing a modest $3,000 to a respectable $70,000 bankroll, Van Fleet bet he could go pro. And with more than $4 Million in multi-table tournament profits to date and close to $17 Million in total lifetime cashes, it's pretty clear ‘apestyles' wagered correctly. With a poker career spanning close to two decades, Jon's accomplishments are lengthy. Yet his most notable accomplishment was becoming the first-ever Partypoker Millions Champion. He walked away with $1,027,000 after crushing the $5 Million GTD online tournament back in 2017. Yet Van Fleet's biography is by no means a sob story. Rather, it's an inspirational tale about facing obstacles head-on, defying the odds, and overcoming adversity. With the help of his friends, the poker pro sought treatment. He now leads a healthy life that involves training, teaching, volunteering and playing poker. Van Fleet is also an accomplished writer and coach, having co-authored Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand at a Time. The popular three-volume book series has been called a masterclass in poker skill development. He also hosts online seminars on the game.
