Why not the facility in Lake Placid?
Folks are scheduled for a World Cup there Jan 11&12.

If they’re short on pond water, they coulda used the water used for the big jump to instead make snow on trails.

Hopefully they get some goodwill for their helping hand.

Maybe ORDA will throw them a bone. Might even be a first for a non-Hudson watershed bump. I think McCauley got an old lift though.

Skied today with my oldest granddaughter-15 and an excellent skier. Good news on three fronts: First-Comet and Southern Cross were open which means more trails top to bottom with the Sunset connection. Second-they got between 2-4" or so of fresh snow. Made for bumped up conditions as the day wore on, but will certainly help the surface for the next few days. Third-pond level is up with a good amount of water flowing in. They should be set for the next round of snowmaking weather to get more stuff open.

Oh yeah..........conditions! Big contrast with yesterday. Fresh snow made for a nice surface and the mini moguls provided entertaining runs vs. the flat groomed stuff we've had. For the first day, Comet and Southern Cross were nice-no marbles and the fresh snow helped with the icy spots. Crowds weren't bad-I think the fresh snow tired a lot of people out quickly. Even strong skiers were taking a quick break halfway down. Very encouraging for the Christmas/New Years weeks.
