In the eight years I have been writing for NYSkiBlog my biggest takeaway is vertical drop doesn’t matter as much as you think. The joy of sliding on snow is more than a number.
Maple Ski Ridge in Schenectady is a perfect example. Those newbies on the rope tow don’t care about vertical drop, they are just thrilled to be on the snow. On a recent trip back from parts east, Farah and I decided to shift our mind set and check out Maple on a warm spring Sunday.
It was quiet inside the lodge as we booted up and redeemed our Indy Pass a little after 1pm. The sun was beating down on the hill but the snow was going strong.
