    No snowmaking - no ski area.

    ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

    Front Street has fully embraced ORDA time. It has only been 17 years since approval. :ROFLMAO:

    ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

    Front Street has had APA approvals since 2008. Out of a potential 300 plus units, Front Street has built around 8 townhomes since the 2008 approval. Front Street does have their own plan for sewage processing. ORDA knew this was just a plan. ORDA still went and built the Ski Bowl Lodge despite...

    Ski Bowl 3.0 at Gore

    Yeah, I mistakenly used the current total time to Burlington. I just looked at a 2010 Amtrak Ethan Allen schedule and the 2 trains for NY Penn to Rutland on Friday were 3:15p-9:05p and 5:40p-11:30p, a claimed travel time of 5:50. So about 1.5hours less than I said. Still not a realistic trip...

    Ski3 Frequent Skier Card

    Both Gore and Whiteface have magic language which leads me to believe that they will never sell out tickets, and why would they? "Walk-up tickets are not guaranteed and may be available in limited quantities at the discretion of management." Belleayre's language is a little different - "If...

    Ski Bowl 3.0 at Gore

    When we lived in Manhattan I did a thought about taking the Amtrak Ethan Allen 'Express' (NY Penn to Rutland) for our family of 3 (with our 8 year old) to ski for a weekend at Killington. It was just this side of impossible with a nice layer of expensive. The train time, leaving on a Friday...

    Ski3 Frequent Skier Card

    That sounds good, but has anybody ever seen the accounting of this limit? Is it based strictly on sales or maybe just that the parking lots are full? How do they account for season passes? ORDA's published reports are pretty opaque.

    Ski3 Frequent Skier Card

    You have to love the hilarity of the term 'sold out' when it is applied ski area lift tickets. They never sell out. They just raise the ticket price. Kind of like when ski areas claim they 'limit' ticket sales. Who gets to audit that lie?

    'May be' being the loaded phrase. Actually, you will end up with a check for $3.61 and a voucher for a hot chocolate with a 3 month expiration date.

    NY Prop 1 2025

    The bigger problem is that this type of transaction should not be subject to statewide popular vote. Rules in the NYS Constitution should be modernized to avoid this waste of time and money. I would guess 99% of NYS voters did not understand this proposal. Hell, plenty of people posting here...

    NY Prop 1 2025

    Just a reminder that NYS owns just 44% of the Adirondack Park. The rest is privately owned. From the Adirondack Park Agency: "The boundary of the Park encompasses approximately 6 million acres, nearly half of which belongs to all the people of New York State and is constitutionally protected...

    The Indy Pass

    This craziness has been going on since May 3, 2025. Jackson Police Chief Chris Perley claimed there were many complaints from neighbors (public drunkeness, noise, pot use, public urination, illegal parking) about Black Mountain's May 3, 2025, end of season ski party. Black Mtn asked to see the...

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Just build something like this. No need for a cam. Just take a shot every morning and every evening. It won't be the same as a cam due to wind, but it would be an easy way to track your snow.

    The Definitive Solution to the Upstate NY Question

    They eat almost anything. For years my wife and I had a running joke about the deer eat everything except the crabgrass, but they were even eating that this year. They were also reaching up for some of out 'deer resistant' hanging plants. That has never happened, either. They are all dropping...
