"Stratton has the most attractive and comprehensive base village in New
England" -- maaaaan, someone is smoking some really, really bad drugs.

Plattekill, a surprising, but excellent choice. I hope this doesn't mean
I'll have to wait more than 30 seconds for a lift this year.

Naah, the writer got some free lift tickets in exchange for a little bit
of travel writing and smootching up. Sound familiar?

You might enjoy googling on the author's name. I was reminded of
another armchair travel writer I know.

I know we have gone through this last season, they could use the
business, but I hate to see this place ruined by crowds. The lack of
lift lines is on of it's big selling points for me.

Yeah, but really, Stratton's tiny little "village" is a cheap rinky-dink
knockoff of Vail, which is itself a cheap rinky-dink knockoff of a
Tyrolean ski village. And at the prices you have to pay at Stratton,
you could go to a _real_ Tyrolean ski village and probably spend less!

Google was instructive, but I probably could have spotted this guy by
just looking for the one with the really long nose...
