Fun fact: The line of traffic in Stowe actually reaches all the way to the ACTUAL Rocky Mountains

Where does it meet with Little Cottonwood's line of traffic? Somewhere in Iowa?

"Why don't you move to Stowe?" "NO, because Route 100."

(Plus, I apparently never even refer to it because I just had to teach it to Swype.)

Not shown is the car at the intersection, trying to find the Von Trappe Lodge, holding up traffic unsure if they have the right of way.

The weird turn by the Riverside Inn is bad too. When it’s a peak holiday week and I have to turn left I’m scared that someone is gonna be very confused and I’ll get hit

Reasonable-Sock9551 t1_j9m28sp wrote

Care to elaborate? Is this in reference to Vail? Or did Stowe residents crowd fund a land purchase?

Edit: Did some digging and think this is what was being referred to

Bit conflicted with some of the land trusts. On one hand it's good to keep from over building on land and preserving it for all to enjoy on the other hand it just continues to make it more difficult and expensive to develop the state to appropriately house residents.

Like Stowe would build something for the poors.... we all know it would have been McMansions or high-end condos.

That abandoned asbestos mine you can see in the distance on your way out of Stowe looking toward Moville suddenly expanded.

Red building across from a steeple with an obnoxiously long line of traffic?

Yep, that's Stowe.

It's literally on screen for like one second. I've just driven that bend so many times I noticed it immediately.

Many of the stock scenes are Telluride, but most of it was shot in BC(?)

Lmao a simple traffic light in the town center could fix nearly everything, although the town and resort weren't designed to handle heavy traffic

People that spend their time and money at Stowe are probably closet fascists from Connecticut, change my mind!

as someone born and raised in vermont, why are vermonters such miserable people

this is just xenophobia/no true scotsman for literally no reason. "dae people from somewhere 50 miles south of here suck?!?!? aren't we so much better?"

No true redditor would use such a trite and tautological example to backup their well researched grievances!

Oh wow, you seem fun at parties. Do you think it’s Vermonters going to the most overpriced mountain we have? Do you think Connecticut is 50 miles away too? I’m happy you learned a logical fallacy to whip out for internet points but it does not apply here; my joke is that only wealthy braindead fools from out of state would wait in line for so-so trails and white tablecloths.

KITTYONFYRE t1_j9lnlpn wrote

news flash: every big mountain in the state costs a shitload. you know a killington pass is like $1200 nowadays? there's plenty of ridiculously priced shit everywhere. plenty of vermonters are raking in shitloads of money, you don't need to point out of state for that

im not fun at parties I don't get invited to them

I don’t think you understand the joy that comes with shitting on people visiting from Connecticut.

KITTYONFYRE t1_j9lok7g wrote

you're not answering my question: why are Vermonters such miserable people, as you've proven yourself to be?

"wow you must be fun at parties" then "you don't understand the joy that comes with shitting on people from [insert neighboring state containing human beings exactly like Vermonters]"

Mighty bold of you to assume those from Connecticut are actual human beings and not terrifying lizard people.

I was born in Vermont and I go to Stowe. I go to other mountains, but why would I not go to one of the best mountains in the state? Not to mention Bolton is right next door. They are a perfect pair.

I like Stowe in the summer. Excellent mountain bike trails, and hiking on Mansfield, and camping in the notch SP are family favorites. Winter, I go elsewhere because that's clearly when the Connecticut fascists come out of their closets.
