No snowmaking - no ski area.

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

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...

So sorry to hear this and what horrible news. He was a wonderful part of this community and will be missed greatly.

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...

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...

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...

Wow. Thanks for this.

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.

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.

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...

Love the update - will be expecting more of this from the new diggs!!

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...

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...

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.

Using/blasting the heat in an ICE vehicle does zero to gas mileage.

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...

Yesterday morning - walking casually thru the neighborhood. We are overrun.
