Beautiful, but a potential killer with a ricochet from my approach shot from the other fairway.

Great pictures! A couple of interesting things about the first chairlift. It was Averell Harriman, head of the Union Pacific railroad, future Governor of New York and key figure in developing Whiteface, who wanted to create a destination resort at Sun Valley to increase ridership on the...

That's kind of the reason for the handful of copies at the start, to have something tangible to pitch. Your post is very helpful!

I hadn't....that photo with the guy in the air and the clouds! It looks like he's on a pair of 203s.

Ha! The blurb on the back cover is this: The People and History Behind Adirondack Boathouses contains vivid full-page photos that are paired with a rich one-page story of former owners, a history of the property or the fascinating heritage of Lake Placid, the Saranac Lakes, and the surrounding...

I've written a book and am looking to see if anyone has experience in that field, whether self published or published through someone else. I'm aware of some of the benefits and drawbacks, but am looking for how to approach a publisher and what led to your success (or lack thereof). I'm...

This came about because of what's-her-face in Dannemora got popped, wasn't it?

"My dad's a workaholic. You mention work and he gets drunk." My favorite Rodney Dangerfield joke.

In case of industrial accident maybe?

I remember going to a hunting camp when I was a kid. They put the toilet seat above the wood stove for late fall on-demand comfort.

Brewers' approach to pitching.

Man, that's some nice corduroy.

Great pictures, and I love the sunshine. When Mrs. Cooper and I were there, I thought she would like the tram. Instead, she said, "it's like riding public transit." :eek:

Some of the runs closed today have snowmaking on them and are probably closed due to the thaw/freeze. They usually close Little Whiteface chair during the week. Mountain Run chair shares the same towers and is half the length. It hasn't opened in a couple of years. For trails, weekend and...

That would require another patent.

This looks like late '60s gear. The Head skis look very similar to the Head 360s, the first skis with embedded edges (as opposed to edges that screwed into the base). The 360s were introduced in 1967, I think. The poles are Scott, I think, probably about the same vintage. You could ask...

I recommend putting things into context, realizing that they use the word 'anticipated conditions,' that if you're reading this blog you're probably in the top .1% of the wealthy across the globe, and that Well it's a strange old game you learn it slow One step forward and it's back to go...

This year is your best chance. I'd give it better than 50/50 by 16 March.

It's not that, though. It's the materializing of a dream that's been in your head for years, and one that's finally coming to fruition after many months of planning, advice seeking and work. And where you, and those closest to you, hope to spend the best years of your life.
