    Sweet Cars and Trucks

    A couple times when I've run at the Ho in summer, I've seen moose sign out on Porter Mountain. Been a long dang time since I've seen an actual moose tho. They're shy.

    Sweet Cars and Trucks

    Snow tires were Hankooks. As for climbing.... right now, I think it's too wet for rock climbing and too warm for ice. You're right, perfect dirtbag vehicle.

    Sweet Cars and Trucks

    Sweet? You decide. You know I've got a thing for station wagons. This Volvo is easy 40 years old and still going strong. Gotta love the prancing reindeer.

    Warp Daddy

    I only knew Warp Daddy through the forum. He was always positive, always upbeat, never tried to shout anyone down. He was a good one. My deepest condolences to Warp's family. And Warp, may you rest in peace.

    NY Prop 1 2025

    It's too dang early to be reading this legalese. An excellent share. My inference is that the writer would prefer that the Ho had remained wilderness. I wonder what the writer thought of the xc trails that were cut for the 1932 Winter Olympics. The organizers cut three different routes for...

    ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

    That might help. I don't know whether the new lodge is a boondoggle or not. But let me tell ya, ya haven't lived if you've never been in the old lodge when 600 kids show up for a high school sectional race.

    ORDA's Biggest Mistakes

    That ORDA dude who called a town councilman a liar. Not a technique to win friends and influence people. On the other side, by revising the MOU, the town is moving the goal posts. I live too far away from North Creek to know everything going on, but from here, that's not a good look...

    Living in the Mountains

    At least one comment following that piece takes the author to task for a condescending view of the local people, FWIW. One thing I've learned since moving to the Tri-Lakes. I've moved to a different country. That's OK.

    Whiteface Conditions

    Whiteface Mountain worker came into the store the other day. He said that WF couldn't begin dismantling the MTB course until the DEC approves their work plan. 🙄

    NY Prop 1 2025

    Preface: this is all speculation on my part. However, back then, I don't think ORDA had any idea about doing major improvements at Mt van Ho that would violate DEC rules. I agree with everyone here scratching their heads over the wording of the proposition.

    NY Prop 1 2025

    Wait what? Is ORDA logging too? In all the excitement, nobody - myself included - has discussed the new trail from van Ho's lodge to the summit of Cascade Mountain. Supposedly it will relieve some of the pressure on the current trail. There's tree cutting for that, but from what I've...

    NY Prop 1 2025

    If ORDA, or whoever, had worked to secure an Article XIV exemption for the Ho 35 years ago, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

    NY Prop 1 2025

    Thank you; it's very kind of you. These days, I'm contributing to Nordic Insights. My $.02 is that until recently, ORDA probably didn't think it was necessary to apply for the Article XIV exemption. In the ORDA world, van Ho was a backwater compared to revenue generators like Whiteface or...
