    NY Prop 1 2025

    I was really torn on this one. IMO: Of course Mt Van Ho should be subject to the same rules as Gore, WF, Belle. It just makes sense. And arguably nordic has less impact per acre than lift served. And I want Van Ho to be awesome. I'm a nordic skier myself. But it just felt to me that —...

    Building a House with Wood

    So the A team kind of abandoned me, now it's the D team (me) landscaping with a shovel, and trying to GC the rest of the job. I looked at some YouTube videos, talked to my neighbor Don. I'm kind of winging it. One thing about working in the rain, I can see that as I add more sand, and stone...

    Fall Weather 2025

    It is very nice. That loft we added, right outside the master br, is now my office, so that is where I do my writing. In winter (after the leaves are off) on a clear day, I can see Gore through that window.

    Football

    Why after all these years are field goals good from 70 yards? What changed? The record was 63(?) and stood for a long time?

    That's an error I've never seen before. I just tried to post a comment and it worked? Anyone else having this problem? Peter did you just try once?

    NY Prop 1 2025

    The ballot wording was extremely simple. "Voting yes means allowing skiing on state land, and approving the acquisition of 2500 acres of forest preserve." Or something like that.

    NY Prop 1 2025

    I'm having a hard time getting beyond this. To me, it makes sense that Van Ho is in the same category as Gore, WF, Belle, but in reality I agree with those who say it's not like they are going to shut Van Ho down, if Prop 1 is voted down. Not that it really matters, but how long ago did ORDA...

    NY Prop 1 2025

    I agree with this. Still. The way to do it would be to change the law and THEN cut the trees. I googled it. The penalty is $200 per tree. Sort of pointless to levy the fine on taxpayers. Seems like there should be some consequence for breaking the law.

    NY Prop 1 2025

    So Van Ho cut trees in the Forest Preserve and now they are going to make it legal after the fact? ORDA didn't know the law or they ignored it? What happens if it gets voted down? Do they reforest the land and get rid of the trails? What is the punishment for cutting 2500 acres of forest...

    Baseball

    That was one of the best games i've ever seen. Not necessarily the best played, but just the storyline was great I rooted for toronto the whole series until it seemed like the dodgers had no chance in game seven.I switched and started rooting for them and I couldn't believe they won...

    That's really cool. I wonder how accurate it is?

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Until last year Gore always measured snow at the main base (1500'). Last year was crazy sometimes they'd use the summit even when it was rain at the base, and add it to the yearly total. I was told that the report comes from patrol, and sometimes when that report didn't come, they call it...

    Boney? That would be cool to have. I always used the cabin's porch, protected by the wind, but open to the sky.

    Gore Mountain Conditions

    Questions for Gore skiers, likely more appropriate for those who aren't local... Do you ever use this section of NYSB? https://nyskiblog.com/directory/weather-data/gore-mountain-snow-totals/annual-average/ If so, what do you think of an additional column on the right where I report the total...
