Besides the incredible skiing I noticed that there were many foreign accents/Languages spoken - Italian, French, Spanish, Polish...I had not noticed this in the past...Is it the weak dollar? Have Eastern resorts (Sugarbush specifically) been advertising overseas?

I also met a handful of people who used to ski Killington and decided to try Sugarbush...it will be interesting to see if that is a trend or just people who used the long week to travel the extra 45-60 minutes?

I definitely noticed this as well...

There was actually a very very loud skier in the Bravo liftline yesterday who was speaking a language I couldn't identify... he was an extremely aggressive six or seven-year-old, giving orders to the people he was with... his language sounded potentially Eastern European, maybe even Greek, but I really wasn't sure...

You know someone is loud when you can hear them talking (not yelling, talking) on the chair behind you, haha...
