There has been a tendency in the past several years for people to adopt reactive dogs that they can't or won't control. These days I would be hesitant to let any dog outside when I am not home. I definitely wouldn't let little yippers out when I am not home or alone at night.
At night the wild life comes into play.

Sorry our pets all passed away & my wife won't let me get anymore. I have been out the pet world for a while. Our pet doors have been removed.
We also did the invisible fence. That was a lot of time & effort. It worked for a while but eventually it became useless.

Spend the extra money and get one that only opens for animals with the chip or rfid tag.
Dog doors are great but they open you up to a new set of problems. Animals that you don't want coming into your house. Your dog going out to bark in the middle of the night. Etc.
Our cat brought in some full size rabbits. He also had this thing about once he brought a rodent into the house, he lost interest in it.

Yup, water is a big issue in Vermont. Not all wells are created equal.

Flatlander humor? There are less hunters out there during muzzleloader season. Hunters that hunt during muzzleloader season tend to be more serious about hunting.

There is no normal weather in Vermont. Buckle up buckaroo! It's always a wild ride and very unpredictable.

Pet pictures belong in r/awe. This has nothing to do with Vermont in my opinion.
Edit: pet pictures like this are shit posts. Just trying to farm for karama. I wouldn't mind them if they were confined to a sticked thread.

I would say 90% are volunteers. Don't have real numbers. Plus they have to find their own accommodations.
The FIS races I have worked are also volunteers. Many of them are parents of the host ski club. At those races volunteers get a lift voucher for another day.

Everyone that works the race loves Vermont and ski racing, that's why they do it.

It melts the top layer of snow. The water seeps down freezes. Creating an icy layer. When skiers ski make turns in the same spot in soft snow deep trenches are formed, known as ruts. Ruts give the early racers a huge advantage. If a racer gets in trouble and has to ski out of the course, a rut will act like a ski jump and launch the racer, which is very dangerous.
Salting a race course with soft snow will make it fairer and safer for all racers. It does make a huge difference.
Salting has been banned on glaciers for years.

You are a good person. Unfortunately it's too easy to ignore it. Unless people are forced to use it , most won't. That's why I wish the mods would delete those posts. Maybe use a bot. Even ban those who repeatedly don't use the stickied threads. U/deadowl your a clever mod, is this possible?

After slipping the course all day destroys your edges. I used a pair of skis a day. Even free tunes would be nice.

Ughhh. They need to get everything down to be loaded in the WC trucks. Fortunately when it's at the bottom the WC professionals take over.

I know people that got fed up with needy hikers and kicked the Long Trail off of their property. It really messed up the LT.
The owners were so fed up with strangers asking for favors. Hikers were constantly knocking on their door.

Agreed I wish it would. Maybe a rule saying if don't use the pinned threads when appropriate you will be banned from r/vermont.
Harsh but this sub is getting overwhelmed with shit posts.

Reply to McNeill's Brewery destroyed by fire, owner found deceased. Utterly tragic. by VermintyFlavor
Ray was a total character. He once told a beer club to lobby local stores to sell his beer so he could continue being a "sponsor of your stupid contest". No one in the club was offended because it was just Ray being Ray. Everyone got a good laugh out of it.
I loved the Dead Horse IPA. I enjoyed the board games at the brew pub.
