☆ Backcountry Skiing Is Booming in the Northeast. But Can It Survive?
  + stars: | 2024-01-19 | by ( Josh Laskin | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Early last February, at the Mount Washington Backcountry Ski Festival in New Hampshire, the organizers faced an increasingly common problem: Terrible snow. Four days of temperatures over 40 degrees combined with an already shallow snowpack had rendered many backcountry ski zones unskiable. Up on Mount Washington, where the higher elevations usually mean colder temperatures, what had been soft, wet snow had hardened into ice when the temperature dropped in the late morning. Corey Fitzgerald, 36, the owner of Northeast Mountaineering in Glen, N.H., who was supposed to photograph a backcountry tour group on the festival’s third day, headed to an area called Gulf of Slides to check out the conditions. And the snow was so low that there was an ice bulge still visible in the middle.”

Those earnings can significantly outpace the average U.S. side hustle's $810 per month, according to a May Bankrate survey. CNBC Make It spoke to a group of high-earners across multiple online platforms, some of whom bring in six figures per year from their side jobs. While it is true we have more pools being hosted on the platform, popular pools continue to see their pools booked out in well in advance."

Swimply is expanding its marketplace to offer pickleball court rentals. Pickleball courts are even starting to fill the vacant space left behind by retailers in malls. In Stamford, Connecticut, for example, Pickleball America plans to turn 80,000 square feet of a former Saks Off 5th space into 28 pickleball courts. The company has been rapidly building courts — as well as converting courts from tennis to pickleball — and now has more than 400 pickleball courts at its more than 200 golf and country clubs across the country. Swimply court rentals range from $25-$100 per hour.

☆ Entry to Middle Class or False Promise? Franchises Face Scrutiny.
  + stars: | 2023-05-26 | by ( Michael Corkery | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Today, Burgerim has run into trouble, leaving a trail of financial problems, a lawsuit by the Federal Trade Commission and broader regulatory scrutiny of whether protections for franchisees like Mr. Laskin are adequate. The challenges highlighted by Burgerim come as franchising continues to grow as a way that people are choosing to start small businesses. There has been rising concern about whether franchisees need more protection in their contracts with franchisers. In the end, Mr. Laskin opened only one Burgerim restaurant, in Eugene, Ore., which closed in 2020 during the pandemic. Since then, Mr. Laskin has been depleting his savings to pay the bills.
☆ Rome, Sacred Ground for Nearly 3,000 Years, and Counting
  + stars: | 2023-05-01 | by ( David Laskin | Martin Pauer | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“There is not a corner of it that is not full of our cults and our gods.”Rome, in a sense, has been sacred ground right from the start. To many, Rome is the epicenter of Catholicism, the seat of the Vatican and home to a seemingly infinite number of churches. Rome has sheltered polytheistic pagans and monotheistic Jews, adherents of Middle Eastern cults, and, in more recent times, a sizable multinational Muslim community. All have left traces — altars, temples, shrines, mosques, inscriptions — some hauntingly beautiful, others erased to stubs. But Rome and its environs conceal many holy places beyond the ken of the Bible.
☆ 58-year-old whose side hustle renting out his pool made $195,000 in 2 years: Here's what you need to succeed
  + stars: | 2022-09-20 | by ( Megan Sauer | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Jim Battan, 58, has made nearly $200,000 renting out his backyard pool. But he says his lucrative side hustle requires a lot of time, money and the right mindset to succeed. Here are the three reasons why Battan's six-figure side hustle isn't for casual pool owners. He spent $110,000 on its construction, which includes a pool house and attached spa pool that he keeps at 130 degrees year-round. The pool is also near the family's rescue farm, where Battan's wife cares for animals like pigs, raccoons and llamas.
