All due to FEMA overhauling it's risk assessment nationwide.
Good luck affording that monthly premium increase.
Yup, and you wonder why people are fed up with their jobs. Having to pay more for food, utilities, gas, etc and most likely not seeing a commensurate raise to cover the cost of those increases. Why bother going back to work for shit pay.
It's still a gimmick to be one of the 1st to open. If your smart enough when looking at open terrain. you'll look ate miles and acreage vs # of trails. Many places have gone with upper/middle/lower to add trail counts.
Cranmore has a storied history. One of the oldest, longest running areas in North America. Great all around place but has some sneaky steeps. This is a good read on it.
