The horror.

Had a parking ticket on my truck this morning. $50 for blocked license plate by bike rack. Bastages!
Prolly can't be read by the license plate readers on the Sheriff's car as they drive by. It's just a stupid revenue grab.
Yet they do little to nothing about real crimes, because they don't bring revenue.
 
No we haven’t, but I know a few people who went there and recommended it. We are looking at the state schools, mainly because of the cost difference. So with Chapman it’s $90K per year with food and housing , compared to the $35K at Cal Poly Pomona.
It was $62k a year for my daughter at BIOLA University, but not that much when my dad went there in the mid 1940s.

I did get a t-shirt out of the deal......

So my daughter goes to law school at UNLV and the cost with grants and scholarships is $23K, she got into UCLA, Pepperdine, Davis, Irvine and a few others and they offered little to no money and it was going to be $100K per year X 3 years. My son is a business administration major and every CSU offers it and that’s probably the route we’ll go.
 
Still early.. but waiting for my kids Certificates of Canadian Citizenship...

Top 3 universities in Canada

University of Toronto
University of British Columbia
McGill University

$6100 yearly
$5646
$7400

respectively

Tronno is in the hinterlands; okay if you are into cities.

BC has the best MTB opportunities.

McGill is in France. Just, ew!

Probably as good as their healthcare system.
Well considering UofT up there with Yale and UCLA ... I take that as a vote for socialized medicine from you.

Ranked high and have a 54% acceptance rate. Cheap tuition also.
 
Thanks for posting this. Very interesting to say the least.

As someone who has spent a significant amount of time around the Mt. Waterman facilities and its 390-acre mountain area over three-plus decades, my initial reaction to the article and the Waterman100 presentation that it links to is that they might make sense if posted on April 1st.

I could buy into the possibility of turning it into a nice destination for summer activities open to the public, including lift-serviced mountain bike trails. What has been offered there in the past for gravity mountain bike trails was never worthy or reliable, but I think the potential is there. Hard for me to imagine where the mountain coaster, zipline, ropes course, glamping yurts, private cabins, special events venue, and outdoor amphitheater would fit, not to mention the parking spaces required to support all of this.

What's being presented for exclusive winter skiing, well, that's some real pie in the sky stuff right there. Quite the business plan that seems a bit reliant on selling their 100 scarce memberships. I love the photos of the actual Waterman facilities mixed in with photos from Telluride and other posh ski resort areas/towns.

It will interesting to see where this goes.
