I had mine done in September because I wanted to be ready for opening day. An ophthalmologist friend told me that you can get lens replacement instead of Lasik now, but I would never do any surgery just to correct my eyeglass prescription. The stuff surgeons do is crazy. mm

Wow! Your cataracts were way worse than mine. I decided on surgery sooner rather than later and I’m really happy with the results. My night vision is better and I’m having fewer flat light issues than any of my friends. mm

In 1980 they should have moved some of the events out of Lake Placid. I don’t think there were any international size hockey rinks anywhere else but figure skating would have been better in Madison Square Garden and maybe then they wouldn’t have had to build the second rink. Stowe could have had...

Those are the reasons that they should make more snow than Belleayre at Gore but apparently they make less. At least this year is better than last year. mm

Don't even say that. I'll get that stuck in my ear and I'll hear that until march. mm

Set speed limits at the speed of the 85th percentile and enforce keep right except to pass. IT's safer and faster, Everyone wins. mm

This^^^^^ Gore is almost three times as big as Belleayre. It should easily be able to match or even double the area Belle covers, but it never did last year hasn't this so far this year. mm

Are they independent enough that they can make snow at both areas at the same time? AFAIK they never made snow at the Ski Bowl and at the main mountain the same time. The best thing about Ski Bowl is that there will never be any lift lines there, but it will always drain resources away from the...

In other news, it seems like snow removal is less perfect than recent winters. The Northway was a little greasy yesterday especially in the third lane and the exit 23 ramp spun off several cars Friday. Yesterday was the first time in a while that I was happy to have snow tires. NYSDOT budget...

That will be a great way to beat the crowds. So we should expect the interconnect before the upper mountain? WTF! mm

Good day yesterday until it got crowded sometime before noon. Most of Foxlair>Sunway looks pretty ready, but why are the making snow at Ski Bowl? mm

I’m surprised it’s so empty today Say hi if you see me. I’ve got orange boots and mismatched skis mm

I agree with all that. Belle is more comparable to Jiminy Peak than it is to Gore, but both of them have more open now than Gore does. This year opened way better than last year. It's too soon to complain this year, but Gore lit my fuse with a pop up about how it's "the biggest ski are in New...

I want to be optimistic about Gore, but... Yesterday Belleayre opened with 25% of its area, 13 of 62 trails, top to bottom with skiing for all levels. Gore is more than twice the size with 104 trails and it opened with 4 intermediate trails, and one of them was Ruby. Also a zippy thingy and a...

I just checked the web cam at 830. There’s no one there! WTF? mm

Best opening day in a long time. All the open trails were full width. I don’t think that happened at all last year. There were swales on Foxlair so that should be ready as soon as Sunway is open. Maybe they’re trying to do better than last year. mm

Last Friday was the best opening day in recent memory. Opening day you should expect long lines, limited terrain, poor coverage and slow bar service. If that’s what you expect it’s hard to be disappointed. mm

You must be a NYSEF coach. mm

Because if you have a gondola you gotta run it even when it makes no sense. The same with the Ski Bowl. You gotta open it even if you can't open Sagamore or Uncas. Or like you gotta build a Hole Shot course even if you can't make decent snow anywhere else on the mountain. mm

Free beer!?! WTF! Why wasn't I told about this? mm
