    NYSB Site Issues

    I completely forgot about it but you're right -- that was a big PITA. I have many more to redo so that'll help, thanks. How did revsystems locate the backup?

    Black Mtn in NH Closing?

    On top of that knoll ^^, is that what it looks like -- a private McMansion just outside the ski area boundary?

    NY State Thruway Traffic

    Here are the six current destinations from Stewart, including daily service to Reykjavik and weekly seasonal service to the Faroe Islands -- there's got to be a story behind that one! Per the Times Herald-Record: Since the Port Authority acquired Stewart in 2007, it has invested more than...

    NY State Thruway Traffic

    A few months ago, I saw this article about Frontier ending all service out of Stewart Airport (Jetblue did the same during COVID) leaving only Allegiant Airlines serving Orlando, Punta Gorda, Saint Petersburg, and Myrtle Beach domestically. It would seem to make sense to have an airport for all...

    NY State Thruway Traffic

    Last night, it was a parking lot southbound between Newburgh and the NJ state line but I assumed it was due to lots of people returning from a quasi holiday weekend.

    F Vail

    Apologies if this has been covered before -- I know: F Vail; however, for those who ski mostly in the northeast, almost unlimited access for the $579 Northeast Value Pass seems to be a good deal or am I missing something? I don't have the bandwidth, well-positioned homebase, or midweek...

    Football

    As a CU Buff, it's hard to believe that the program has gone from 1-11 to a potential contender. I don't recall this much enthusiasm in decades. Whoever thought up the Deion narrative arc deserves an award.

    Today's Ride

    The closest airport without changing planes is 4+ hours away. Looks like another thing to save for a cross-country drive during retirement.

    Skiing video to Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

    I want to see the clip too -- I love the song and the album! Paging @raisingarizona

    Snow Ridge Tornado

    It's fascinating how policies slice and dice coverage to avoid exposure. That's why I never buy travel insurance as the fine print is so dense, I just assume that whatever happens will not be covered (my suspicion that it's a big racket). Is professional removal of the trees not part of their...

    Welcome to NYS!

    Now you're just being argumentative. :cautious:

    Welcome to NYS!

    I wonder how many signs they needed to replace and what the cost was, including ramming it through the state government.

    Welcome to NYS!

    Aren't they threatening to revert back to the bridge's proper name? Andrew should've been jailed for that alone.

    Welcome to NYS!

    The pic below was posted on Facebook. Visitors from Quebec can't say that they haven't been warned; however, it's not a welcoming sight. I can't remember if there's a similar display crossing into Canada. Reminds me of January 2012 when my wife and I were returning from a ski trip in the...

    Windham Conditions

    Thanks for fishing out that interesting NYT article. So Windham was the Yellowstone Club of the Catskills for a while!

    Windham Conditions

    It opened in 1960 and I believe it went up to the late 60s as private. Can anyone confirm? Originally known as Cave Mountain. Bummer that the micro-brewery there closed a while back -- loved going there after skiing.

    Belleayre Conditions

    Tom's Tow is on the same side of the road as the main Highmount terrain -- see pic below. You can see it on the looker's left as you drive toward Highmount from the Belle access road. Isn't the 200-vert beginner's area mentioned above below the road? Maybe I'm mistaken; I trust Ripitz's info.

    Carrols Hamburgers

    The Little Gem was 2/3 of a mile from the lake. Not right on top of it but close enough, I guess. While driving along the lake back then, I can still recall the gagging sulfur-y smell from Allied Chemical/Solvay Process and the visual of the blast furnaces at Crucible Steel next to the State...
