I guess it depends on how much needs to be done.

When the leaves fall en masse, it isn’t worth a shite. Otherwise, for grass clippings etc., it works great.

TLDR

I prefer gas powered, but my battery powered one is solid.

Big Sky was awesome during the 1st week of April.

I posted a cost comparison in the travel board ski thread last year for most of the major resorts.
Big sky is definitely up there as one of the most expensive due to flights and lodging. It is an awesome mountain focused on skiing, but it costs.
Aspen, big sky, and telluride are most expensive.

Jackson is surprisingly cheap when you factor in the $400/pp flight credit they give you for booking through jackson hole website.
Powder mountain, snow basin, keystone, winter park, jackson hole, copper are cheapest.

They've had big problems with people trying to make it up the mountains to the resorts today. To the point that CHP was on Xwitter practically begging people to not attempt the drive. A lot of people have had to be dug out.

I just got a news notification that there’s a bunch of fatalities.
