Hand-researched guides to ski bases, covering reachable mountains, door-to-lift times, accommodation towns, and whether a car is actually necessary.

Why it surfaced

SkiTown.org treats a ski destination as a place where people have to live, sleep, work, and get around—not just as a mountain on a trail map. Each guide promises dated travel information and at least three specific drawbacks, with examples ranging from car-free Banff to a Maine village with no bus to its nearby resorts.

Monica’s Calendar of Flowers

August 17’s newborn domains include a calendar that spreads flowers for Monica across the months after JP’s death, 17 years of a master mariner’s logbooks, the seconds between a modem connection and the first web request, and an Indian bus cabin carrying 632 songs.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-17 Domain Arrivals issue.
