We have to live on $300 a month, and these guys live on $24,000 a year." But not all the citizenry was so truculent. One elderly San Franciscan strolling down...
...PEAK: Only 15 miles south of the Canadian border, so it takes over five hours to get there. Consequently, Jay rarely gets over-crowded, and can provide some really excellent skiing. It is one of the coldest ski areas around and gets windy often, so it's a good idea to check it out carefully before setting out. 270 miles from Boston...
