Daniel Kaufman @danielekaufman.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Most developers are still chasing Texas and Florida. I’m looking at Michigan. Fresh water. Underpriced land.

Daniel Kaufman @danielekaufman.bsky.social · 10/05/2026The NSAA just dropped 2025-26 season data. 52.6M skier visits. Down 9 million. 32nd-worst season in 48 years.
