Sudden end to "life" at Killington

It's typically 5 to 35 degrees Farenheit outside (that's -15 to 2 C for those using non-antiquated measurement systems) That's too cold, and by the time it's warm enough for the beer, it's too warm for the snow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer#Serving_temperature Cricky. Do I have to tell you everything about life in snow country? Drink a *good* beer and you'll want to drink to warm - the problem then becomes getting it warm enough, easily solved by putting it next to the wood stove. |

Well, if the hotel had a wood stove in the room I'd be all set. Maybe I could use the iron after I've finished making the grilled cheese? //Walt |

In a room with a window? Steve Yes, often too cold. Might freeze (horrors) A frequently flushed toilet tank is best. (memories of college days a LONG time ago) Note that partaking of the beer WILL keep the toilet tank at the proper temperature. I have a memory of a poster from my college days that showed a beer drinker standing at a toilet, passing beer in from a can with one hand while passing it out to the can with the other. The photo that I saw was a dude doing the same thing... beside the road with headlights illuminating the scene. |

And I don't think I'd be happy *living* there for a season - a hotel room is fine for weekends or even a week, but no access to a kitchen would get old soon. dOOd, almost all hotel rooms have a kitchen. Use the iron to make grilled cheese. I've known of people take hotel-style rooms, and then go deracinate the walmart kitchen gadgets department, and then make use of the returns policy when they were done. Bit of a rotten trick to serve, even on walmart, but it did work. Was this Scott Abraham by any chance? No, two of Deer Valley's finest, as it happens. For years they fitted out their apartment in this way. I thought it was a bit much. PC needs a thrift store. -- ant Don't try to reply to my email addy: I'm borrowing that of the latest scammer/spammer |

Lager should be served ice cold, in frosty glasses. Ours is! And each beer, you get a new frosty glass from the fridge. -- ant Don't try to reply to my email addy: I'm borrowing that of the latest scammer/spammer |
