Snow Skiing Questions

The following questions were posted in Yahoo's 'Snow Skiing' category:

Which ski resorts in Europe get the most snow? Do any get as much as Alta or Targhee?

Full question:

Which resort in Europe has the greatest annual snowfall? Which gets the most powder days?

Best answer:

I don't believe there are any regions of the Alps that get that amount of snowfall, they get more like 200-300inches rather than 400-500inches. The weird thing about a lot of European ski areas is that they groom a path through the powder, and then everyone skis in the groomed part and ignore the powder! I know Zermatt and Cervinia get around 300 inches and their share of powder days

Buying a warehose for $1M that is FSBO, do I need an ALTA policy of Title insurance, or will sandard title do?

Full question:

My company is buying a warehouse in the $1M range. It is for sale by owner, and we are buying it without an agent. I am preparing an offer sheet now and I'm wondering if I should be elect to obtain a "full-coverage extended alta policy of title insurance" or if the standard policy is sufficient. If I do elect to obtain one, is it standard practice to have the seller or buyer pay for it at closing? What are the estimated costs?

Best answer:

Not enough information. Is this a cash sale, or are you financing it? If there's a lender, it will be up to them. If there's no lender, you can do whatever you want. REgarding the costs and paying for it, it's a flat percentage of the sales price, usually somewhere between 2% and 4%, by county. So it's not negotiable. But who pays for it, IS negotiable - part of the sales process.

Buying a $1M warehouse FSBO, do I need an ALTA title policy orjust the standard-coverage policy?

Full question:

My company is buying a warehouse in the $1M range. It is for sale by owner, and we are buying it without an agent. I am preparing an offer sheet now and I'm wondering if I should be elect to obtain a "full-coverage extended alta policy of title insurance" or if the standard policy is sufficient. If I do elect to obtain one, is it standard practice to have the seller or buyer pay for it at closing? What are the estimated costs?

Best answer:

ALTA is usually what the lender requires. This is not an issue if you are paying all cash or if the seller is doing a carryback loan and doesn't want it. Re: closing costs....say..."closing costs are to be paid by buyer and seller per county custom." Title/Escrow company will know this. From my experience in California, title insurance is paid for by buyer. I think your cost will be $2-3k, but check.

Have you heard about that babysitter in Edmonton Alta. Canada that is being sued after being a hero?

Full question:

I think is disgusting that the insurance company would file a law suit against her after saving the children and pet. Everyone should boycott that insurance company to show there disgust. What do you think of what the insurance company did? The girl is a hero and the insurance company is the villain in this story.

Best answer:

What is this world coming too, they should be ashamed of themselves. People wonder why people don't reach out to help others? I would still, but I understand why some don't:)

Where can I get information on how to start a Hot Shot business in Edmonton alta canada?

Full question:

Hi there, My husband and I want to start a hot shot business in edmonton. Does anyone have any information that will help us get going. I was offered info. but it was for the states. What does a person need...licences, trucks...help please

Best answer:

Hopefully you have a good business plan and have done your research as far as demographics and market saturation. Having been in business for many years I have used the services of hot shots many times and know that there are lots of them in business. Other than the obvious need for a truck you will need a lot of licenses, etc. The first thing you might want to do is check out this website: https://bdc-canada.com/BDC/services/corporate_supplies.htm Here is the form for your Edmonton Home based business license: http://www.edmonton.ca/PermitsLicences/2007%20Forms/2007%20Home%20Bsd%20Bus%20App%20Form.pdf Here is your Edmonton Business License application: http://www.edmonton.ca/PermitsLicences/2007%20Forms/2007%20Commercial%20Business%20Lic%20App%20July%202007.pdf Registering your business with the CRA http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tax/business/topics/bn/bro/menu-e.html Your WCB registration and website: www.wcb.ab.ca You'll need to have commercial insurance for your truck but if you're using it for work you absolutely have to have commercial. Make sure that your driver's license can handle that type of truck you're getting. All your licenses and registrations will come out to approx. $1000. excluding your insurance. Here is the Canadian website for starting your own business which has lots of useful information. http://www.canadabusiness.ca/gol/cbec/site.nsf/en/bg00328.html Starting your own business actually involves a lot of work - tons and tons of filling out forms. The licenses alone will get you let alone all the stuff cra wants. I just recently helped my son launch his own business in Edmonton so I know exactly how much work is involved in this. You would think it's a simple thing - just pick and deliver goods - well unfortunately it really isn't. Be prepared for a least 2 hours just getting your home based business license from the city. Hopefully these will give you some idea of what you're up against but it will all be worth it in the end. Good Luck.

I'm going to be in Venice in mid August. What are the chances of us experiencing acqua alta?

Full question:

How important is it for us to carry rain boots all over Europe just in case we get flooded in Venice?

Best answer:

It's possible, but very unlikely that there will be a significant event in August. Last year, the first high water event was in late October This is more a late fall, winter occurrence (see: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/10/photogalleries/pow-week1/photo4.html). I was at the biennale in late June and there were small puddles around the drains in Piazza San Marco, but they didn't last long and did not affect the whole Piazza. I have been there when the water was over my knees (I'm 6' 3") in some areas in November. Many of the hotels have boots available for their guests when necessary. You don't really need to bring them with you.

Has the Alta Sociedad in the Philippines become an oligarchy?

Full question:

I observed that in the Philippines there are so many political dynasties and to be a presidential candidate you must have a name. Is the political elite composed of a few families? Names like Arroyos, Marcos, Belmontes, Aquinos, etc, etc. are making a bid for higher office. Just throwing a consciencious question to the crowd. MatT, very educating. Thank you.

Best answer:

The true Alta Sociedad in the Philippines are actually the descendants of the Spanish criollos, which include the Zobels, the Ayalas, the Ynchaustis, the Aranetas, the Sorianos, the Elizaldes, the Ortigases, the Perez de Tagles, the Madrigals, the Caleros, the Cuervos, and a lot more. Most of them are of Spanish descent, and Chinese ancestry. The more recent "adopted Alta Sociedad" such as the Aquinos, Arroyos, Roxases, and Marcos are partly descended from the original Alta Sociedad families. For example, Aquinos from Cojuangcos (Chinese-Spanish), Arroyos from Tuason (Chinese-Spanish), Roxases from Araneta (Chinese-Spanish-Mexican), and Marcos from Romualdez (Chinese-Spanish). These are the political dynasties - most of them are just marginally Alta Sociedad. The true Alta Sociedad people in the first paragraph have a low profile and do commute regularly between the Philippines, Spain, and the United States. They have extensive business and corporate links, but they shun from politics. :) It would therefore be more correct to say that the Upper Middle Class controls politics.

How can I get a copy of the "Daily Alta California," dated July 21, 1865?

Full question:

I specifically want the article on the page 1 about the Milo whaleship and the confedrate cruiser Shenandoah.

Best answer:

I would ask your local public library to request a copy of the article from California State University- Fullerton's Pollak Library, or from another source they have access to. Various runs of the newspaper are in over 50 US libraries, so they may find a local source. Generally, libraries have great success getting these requests through Interlibrary loan. They may charge postage or photocopying fees. Giving them this number, called an "OCLC" number may help them locate it- OCLC: 1565791 Thank you for your question!

Can I buy whole nutmeg in Edmonton Alta, near downtown?

Full question:

I've checked Safeway and Saveon. No luck so far.

Best answer:

When I was a chef and worked there I would go to Woodwords, but as they are not longer in business, check out a spice store, in downtown, you might be able to find one in the Chinese section over around 96-99th St, here in Ontario we have a bulk food company and I get mine there. If you have and of the A&P chain out there they have a grinder from McCormicks, I have not been to Edmonton in over 20 years I worked at the Chefs Table on 111th Av and the old Chateau Lacombe on 101st St, the best thing to do is check the local yellow pages for spice store, a West Indian store will have it to, I know there are most West Indian people in Edmonton now than when I was there in the 1980's

Full question:

Best answer:

What are the animal ranks besides Alta and beta?

Full question:

I need to find this for my daughters report

Best answer:

For one thing: it is spelled Alfa. Secondly, I think your daughter should be doing the research herself, instead of asking her mom to ask other people to do the research. As far as I know, those are the two 'named' positions in the pack. Though every pack has its ranking, from alpha to omega (the last in the pack), because of the differing sizes of packs and the complexity of the interactions, alpha, beta, and omega are the only ones humans have named. Every wolf has its place in the pack, and those places can change with a challenge, a tussel, and a winner.

I want to book a hotel/lodge nr Banff (alta) in August. Any tips? What age do they consider adult, not child?

Full question:

Ideally we'd stay in Canmore, Banff or Kananskis. Hotels will allow you to book a suite but they do not specify an age limit for children - ours are 16, 15 etc.

Best answer:

Anyone 16 and over is considered an adult (and so of course anyone 15 and younger is considered a child). The rates are the same for 1-2 adults. Additional adults may increase the rate. No charge for children.
