Change is a constant in New York and exceptions will only prove that rule. Through the foggy goggles of memory, we skiers like to reminisce about the past, but someone else will always remember the story differently from a time before we lived it.
Bearpen is like that for me, as I can play “remember when.” Still, I learned about the mountain from NELSAP, but that was well after the halcyon era for the bygone resort.
I suppose my own glory days at Bearpen were spent assisting the owners and the caretaker, Russ LaChapelle in maintaining the property and learning of its storied past.
