ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

No snow was blown on Cloud yesterday and there didn't seem to be any guns set up either...


My guess on the new lodge opening is being pushed to President's week, or maybe with some luck the end of January. This is because ORDA has continued it's charade of not compensating the Town of Johnsburg for the engineering that was needed to install the pump/haul; which ORDA has now pretty much put the kybosh on even doing, thus pushing the opening to the completion of the Town's sewer system. You literally can't make this shit up!

The bathroom at the yurt worked just as well and was a hell of a lot cheaper.

I read this article, haven't yet watched the meeting video. My thoughts:

1. James Odato makes his living sh**ing on ORDA.

2. The managers at the various venues are oblivious to maintenance needs? Are you serious?

3. This summer, ORDA did massive upgrades to fix the sliding track at van Ho and replace the refrigeration plant. There wasn't no stinkin' consultant to tell them it needed to be done. I was there a lot this summer, they were hammering to get this done before the luge World Cup.

4. I've been willing to give her a chance, but at this point, Ashley Walden needs to look in the f'n mirror b4 pointing fingers.

5. Spending money on a consultant is like flushing it down the toilet.

I can't speak to the new lodge at Gore, would love to hear from Gore adjacent people about that.

@Brownski and @Robert this stuff and an LP bid for winter Olympics would make a cool podcast.

This actually blows my mind. I would think the key to basic maintenance is paying attention, asking questions & caring about the venue. Also, leaving your office once in a while...

3 million to teach you how to recognize that a deck needs to be replaced?

Yup.

Who’d a thunk:

a deck way up in the sky
where it’s windier
exposed to Adirondack weather
world class athletes use year round
might need looked at before formal international inspection.

Maybe they just thought the big jump deck would fly ...The ski jumpers do.
