It’s the Thursday before closing weekend at Southern Vermont’s Magic Mountain, and I’m ordering a beer with the ski area’s president, Geoff Hatheway. It’s been a long and busy winter; Hatheway really deserves this beer. But first, an electrician dressed head to toe in Carhartt moseys towards him with something to say.
“Ya’ lost element one on the first hot water heater and two is startin’ to fail,” he explains. "Must’a blown when the power went out last night.”
