During the summer we take advantage of a lull in the action to make site improvements. This summer has been no different. We’ve moved the blog to WordPress, a much more robust framework. One advantage is the ability to customize pages.
NYSkiBlog began in 2008 as a weather resource and in 2012 we taking our ny ski weather page to the next level. We hope the new format will provide a convenient way to get current and forecast ski conditions and weather quickly.
The NYSkiBlog is looking for a reporter to cover skiing, ski conditions and happenings at the Hickory Ski Center in Warrensburg, NY.
Re-opened in 2009 after a four-year stint on the NELSAP list, Hickory is gaining momentum as an alternative to the larger New York ski areas. We want to feature more incredible trip reports from Hickory in the upcoming season.
Reporter responsibilities include skiing, picture taking, writing and posting for NY Ski Blog and the NY Ski Forum. We’ll provide you with a Hickory 2011/2012 Season Pass in exchange for your trip reports.
We’d like someone who will ski the hill at least twice a month, from the time those surface lifts start turning until the end of the season. If interested, send a note explaining why you think you’re qualified, along with a writing sample via email to [email protected].
Harvey Road was launched in October of 2008. It started out as a place to store our Gore Mountain ski pictures and trip reports. In time, we added all important weather links on the home page, and started to think of the site as a resource for southern Adirondack skiers.
In the summer of 2009, we realized the site would be more valuable if other skiers contributed, so we reached out to new authors. As others came on board, and we began covering more ski areas. We soon realized that the common denominator was our love for NY State skiing. Whiteface, Gore Mountain, Hunter, Belleayre, Plattekill, Hickory Ski Center and Greek Peak were key components of our collective ski seasons. To reflect our expanded focus, Harvey Road is now the New York Ski Blog located at:
Please bookmark our new url as one of your favorites and make the move with us. It’s our new home on the web. We’re still Harvey Road, but at a new address.
